I agree with everyone's opinion. Herbert has problems being an every down back. Pass protect and receiving questionable, but good runner. I think Foreman is going to surprise everyone how good he is. Everywhere he's been, he was the backup. Last year in Carolina he got to be the lead back. Was better than Monty. He's senior season at Texas, over 2000 rushing. He won't get the chance here but if healthy, he could be top 5 rushers in the league. I watched a lot tape on him, I didn't realize he was that good. Then they draft Johnson who would easily be an every down back. Our rushing offense is going to be outstanding with so many good backs. Added Wright, Davis, and Cody moving to OC. Then Jones and Jenkins getting better. Our offense is going to be outstanding. I think they also increase the passing offence, with such balance we will add 10 to 15 more offensive plays to each game. I predict our offense is going to be top 5 in scoring if Fields takes his next step forward.

Go for it, competition is a good thing.

The WR room was bottom 5 last year, maybe the worst in the league. One year later, Poles turned into top 10 .( IMO) Obviously Fields taking a giant forward makes that happen. DJ Moore is a top 12 WR in the league. Mooney and Claypool are above average WRs in this league. Venus Jones will be a gimmick player. Tyler Scott will be interesting to see what role he develops. The key here is if we have any injuries, we have good depth.

I thought Dexter would be a NT but he's going to be a 3 T. Flus had Buckner in Indy, I think they are trying to recreate that player in Dexter.

He's played 3 yrs in a row on one year contracts. At this stage of free agency with some other vets getting cut, he's probably going to sign cheaper. One year, 10 mil with bonuses sounds doable.

Weatherford came with some creed, I want to see him play and go from there.

We are going see how good of coaches we have. Dexter can contribute but where he needs to be, to be formidable, he needs lots of growing. I think Pickens has a higher floor but wouldn't be as good a player. It's an upgrade for us but we need one star. Not sure if he's on the roster yet

The only pick that bothered me was the Dexter pick at 53. I like productive players. He has talent but this is based on traits.Poles clearly thinks he will turn into Chris Jones. He was in KC when they drafted him. I have seen several scouts say Jones is the pro comparison. I think he plays NT and Pickens plays 3 T. 3 T : Justin Jones/ Pickens NT : Dexter/ Billings DE: Walker/ Gipson/ Robinson/ Greene Interested to see Travis Bell as a 3T.

2 years of injuries without seeing him play for most of a year is to risky. He's making 11 mil this yr. He only played 10% of the snaps last year. Then you have to give up draft capital. Poles is not going to do that.

If you look at round 2 there was a ton of edge getting drafted ahead of their pick. So just took their highest rated DL ahead of a edge they didn't want. I like the idea of drafting highly productive players but they drafted for ceiling instead of floor. I think boom or bust types. They could think Robinson is going to take a step up this year. Still get one in free agency. Lots of time left to figure it out.

He's the same size as Kancey and AA. Maybe that's the reason they didn't take AA, they knew they were drafting this guy that fits the same mold.

If he's there, Payne Durham is the next pick.

AA will only fit certain D's, so not so easy to place him. I would take him, in the 4 th round, not as much risk if he fails.

I heard a Florida beat reporter say that Florida didn't have any depth on the D line so he had to play to much. The first half was where all his production came from and and the second half was terrible. Pickens and Stevenson both played in the senior Bowl under Gresty. So we know those players well.

If he moves up its to grab a 3 T.

That's just a sports journalist rumor. Poles is smarter than that but may move a few spots to get someone. (A lot cheaper)

I think they're several edge players left but only a few 3 T s there. Tuli, White and AA. He'll target the 3 T.

I don't think there are sleepers anymore. Sport journalists don't talk about a player, it becomes a sleeper when it never was to a team. They got all stones overturned way before drafts are talked about.

I think the best 3 T left is AA

We have different leadership now and I believe they will build the trenches in the right way. We can't compare past failures on this GM. He's gets to make his own mistakes.

My opinion is based on what many professionals say, I'm just repeating that notion. It's not an original thought.

I want AA, Cody Mauch for OC, and Derrick Hall.

Skon is going to be an all pro OG or a good LT for10 years. I think Wright has a nasty attitude which made him more desirable. Jenkins, Wright and if they draft Mauch, that's a lot of physically for an oline.

Skronski is going to be a very good player but something Wright brings to the table is nasty. He's a large mean man that's going to play10 years in the league. His best3 games were against LSU, Anderson and Carter. That says something. In a Anderson interview, he said the best OL he played against was Wright and not even close. Now draft Cody Mauch and you have the two most physical OL in the draft.
