Who best option in 4th. Wish they would have given future 3rd to get back in and select lb in draft.

Plenty of TE’s but LB has been picked clean a bit. Ottens and Kohlar I rate very highly as TE’s that IMO could contribute as rookies.

It doesn't appear that any of the LBs really have fallen past the third round. Dean seemed to be the best shot because of the medicals. Going to be hard to find a Cox this year, but I'm hoping they take a shot or two in the fifth. Darrian Beavers might be an option if we want a big stuffer. Some seem to like Brandon Smith.

At tight end, I'm intrigued by Isaiah Likely, but there are others who could be in play (Kolar, Otton, Wydermyer, maybe even Bellinger, Turner or Ferguson). It's a deep TE class and at this point, it's just who you prefer because I'm not sure one is a clear pick over another.

I can't believe Penn State LB Brandon Smith is still available after the 3rd round.

6'3, 245 lbs, 4.52 40 time





He will definitely go early in the 4th round. Hope the Cowboys trade up to get him.

Everything I have heard about him from Dane, BB and Cavanaugh is that he is clueless at LB, has no instincts and makes a lot of mistakes. Dane says your best bet is to move him to DE where he doesn’t have to think.

I heard the same thing, comparable to Jaylon Smith which turned me off right away.

No surprise. Good player. I think they would have probably taken Kolar if he didn’t come off the board. Ferguson could definitely be a replacement for Schultz next year.

How about Damone Clark LSU? He has to have back surgery but he had like 150 tackles and he ran a 4.5 forty. A redshirt year but could be a steal.

Pick ED Amare Barno (6'5 246 4.36) and DT Luther Ellis (6'4 350).

That's all I ask Jerry.
