I know I am a horrible thread starter and most of my posts get moved or deleted... but Im trying hard this time.

If you can pick only two from this draft class, udfas included.
Which two make an early impact, I'm talking even in camp you see it, but when the season begins it translates.
Remember the rules,,, early impact top two, doesn't matter where they were drafted, but MS is easy and its allowed..lol
Easy is Mazi
Hard is your 2nd pick from the deep end of the pool for me its Luepke.
If this team does bring back Zeke for a look late,, Luepke may have already replaced Zekes consideration.
But Zeke on a rolodex isn't a bad thing.

First two picks no question. Big needs and we need what they do.

Both were necessities, Mazi was easy.
2nd pick on Schoon has some peeps holding their bellies grumbling, but that pick had more to do with what MM required to run his basic scheme, and that basic need is filled now.
Doesnt matter if anyone thinks that was reach, if the player fits a fundamental need that kick starts a heavy edge dominant running game, than who cares what the naysayers are commenting on this TE.
MM didnt get his choice in the 1st round, but he got a few key components in this draft.
IF Tolbert catches a clue, this offense has some crazy upside coming.

Top 2 picks will start.

Deuce probably plays a very significant number of snaps.

Mazi will make an immediate impact but we won't see it in his stats, we will see it in the stats for Parsons, Clark, Vander Esch, Donovan Wilson and Kearse.

Not trying to get too excited, but Im not actually too overly concerned with this current backfield, its a unit that can get through camp, and possibly spring a few surpise contributors.
I even label Jones as nothing more than high priced camp fodder, but if he want to magically re invent his career here in this camp than go for it still young man, with unreached ceiling still.
Otherwise you can be a tackling dummy and let Pollard heal and preserve our other RBs for when the hitting really counts.
This roster has open comp at the RB positions for once in a very long time.
This unit has some good talent in place right now.

Schoon - "He's better than we thought" is what they're going to say early. #86 has speed and is going to surprise as a receiver. Luke's high level work on crossing routes fit a WCO, and I look for him to add a vertical threat down the seam from the TE1 position. CeeDee just got a tag team partner to stress opposing Safties.

Deuce - The narrow holes Tony Pollard makes work are clear runways for #42. Duece's shake, speed, vision, acceleration, IQ, routes and hands make him a weapon ppl are going to rave about. Check out Deuce in the slot he is dangerous. Dallas got a Playmaker in the 6th round, unbelievable.

Honorable Mention

Mazi - Smith is going to surprise with his versatility and upfield burst coming out of a 3 point stance, DQ is going to take #58 off the leash he had on at Michigan. So yeah, I see Smith playing some 3T to shut it down in the middle paired with Big Hank, and allow Mazi to attack the outside shoulder of the OG...good luck!

Obviously I think the mazi pick is great but after that my favorite pick isn’t till round 6
But a lot of that depends on coordinator and use

I’m going with overshown to ball out

Duece is going to get some serious Daren Sproles comp, but I wil stay stead fast saying that if we get between Sproles and Meggett comps than we hit gold with Deuce.

I’m hoping it’s a Richards. He seems to have a little something from what I watched, is it a longshot oh yeah

Overshown could certainly make an early impact under the right scheme
