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.

Wright was a superior pass blocker but has work to do in the running game. It's about Justin Fields.

They clearly had no trade options and got a next year pick for free. A fourth is just draft capital. I wanted Carter but I didn't get to interview him. He may be a stud for the Eagles but they have a vet team. The key is definitely get Fields going this year, D J Moore , Tonyan, Davis, and Wright. Sounds good.

Probably referring to National press that mocks RB, and WR alk the time with the first pick.

Valladay is a sneaky good pick.

As the draft approaches , there are many good free agents left on the market. Also some will be released as rookies are signed. We are first claim on the waiver wire to add vets. So if we miss a position upgrade, we can still fix the roster. We still have the highest amount of money to spend. I think its critical to add a RT, Edge, and 3 T in the draft.There are good options on defense yet but thin at OL in free agency. I think that comes into play with our first pick to make sure we get a RT. PJJ-Jones-Wright-Skoronski- Harrison. Outlier: Mauch-Bergeron-Freeland-Duncan-Morris.

Those are good names but I think the first 4 picks need to be starters. Musgrave and Mingo could be future starters, granted Wypler could be a starter in his first year. The CB is only 5'8", and 176 with 29" arms. I don't think Poles drafts a CB that small. Coburn's size is that of a 3 T but only had 7 sacks in 1600 snaps.
