There is always a couple of surprises early.

That works to, I was trying to find someone that played under the OC to compare to.

Last year, 30% of rosters in the NFL were UDFAs, I'm sure he will bring in a large number and may luck out and a couple that prove out to be good. A lot of their visits were late round or Priority free agents . If he needs to , he can still bring in Eric Fisher or Duane Brown. We are not stuck . Would you guys be happy if our 2 5th round picks were Cris Paul/ OG and Matt Waletzko/OT? I could live with that.

I don't think you find a starting LT outside of the first round. One to develop that could play OG his first year would be a good get. The problem is, we don't know how Poles evaluated Jenkins and Borom, he may think they can be good which lessens the need in a high pick. There are still a ton of names still out there. I've been looking at tape and my best comparison is Randall Cobb but not as good a route runner. Cobb was productive out of the slot and taking screen passes. He is faster wth an Cobb. He will return kicks and be our deep threat. I don't think he is a #1 but if Mooney, Pringle and Jones all ascend to #2 WRs, that a good WR room. If he got a little Tarik Cohen and Devin Hester in him , just be a playmaker in a more limited role, we did good.

Olin Kruetz was on a live CHGO podcast and they did some shots . I think the reason the Rams reacted that way was they thought they could get Strange with their first pick, A 4th I think.

The best way to succeed in the draft is to take BPA but I wanted offense. Any need they miss , they will target in free agency.i think they can still find a starting guard in the fifth.

Poles has some OL prospects that are still out there. Risker in the 5th but possibly. Last year KC got a starter in the 6th round. Tyler Smith.

The more you look, the more you like. He's got speed, 4.31 had the biggest YAC of anyone in this draft, 8' YAC . He gives them a deep threat and kills when he has the ball in his hands. Just developing as a WR. If he can contribute day one as a returner.

Not what I would have did but if you watch his highlights, he's got some game to him. Top kick and punt returner in the SEC.

We have to get some offense. Run on WRs, good names are gone and the backup plan, Thornton is gone.

He said he said going to take the best players on his board, If a CB is one WR 2, you go offense.

He said the most important jobs he has is fix the OL and get Fields playmakers. You don't do that picking D , whether they are good players or not, we need bodies on offense.

Jaquan Brisker/S. Finally the offense is fixed

How does the offense get better taking a CB?

Kyle Gordon, CB. ,what i didn't want

I think with 48 we could still get Alec Pierce, so we could trade back at 39 . There will be OL at 71 worth taking.

A few thoughts. Would you trade GB pick 39 for 53 , 92, 171. They haven't taken a WR yet? But they take Watson. Atlanta wants to get a QB pick 43 and 114 for 39? KC wants a WR, pick 39 for 50 and 93. Probably take Watson.

If you look at the value system the NFL uses, it seems pretty realistic for what teams value by the picks already taken. 24 of there top 32 went in the first round. The only OL left in there top 40 is Brandon Raimann. Travis Jones the only DT. No WRs in top 40. I would say at 39 trade back a few and still will be able to get Pierce at the worst case scenario. Still a lot of QBs left , maybe we're in the sweet spot to get a good trade up for a QB. Only 1 gone so far.

Changed post to day2

Watson , Pickens and Moore will be gone before our pick. Hopefully that doesn't push Pierce up the board because he's not valued at 39 in the draft. 50 to 70 is his usual slotting. OLs are going off the board to. No Tyler Smith.

There going to take Watson.

Middle of round 1 and 6 WRs gone so far. I thought 8 would go before our pick, now I think 8 will go in first round.

I think our defense will be better than expected, still need to add but we have 3 pass rushers, A blue chip LB and a #1 CB. IF Jackson can be what he once was , we could be a 10-12 th ranked defense , so don't trade Quinn.

Every year people are drafted in the first round that don't live up to their draft spot. It's usually at a 50% clip. I don't think Olave will be a star. A started but not going to the pro bowl regularly. Maybe a Robert Woods comparison works. It would be nice to fill 5 spots of weakness with the draft. CB, SS, LB, DT but I would totally have no problem if they drafted 3 WRs and 3 OLs. Fix those spots and fill in with Free agents. If they draft well 2 WRs and 2 OLs then grab a couple of Def players. If they are smart, get some extra picks fix everything. This is going to be an interesting draft because we have no idea what Poles will do.
