Nice!..

I may have grabbed a RB when one of those later picks, but not complaining.

Why in God's name would we move down SIX draft slots for a 4th round pick?

Because luckily Bailey was there, you know.

Haha apparently so. I'm asking for their 3rd round pick (#86), but that's only if Warmack, Cooper, Vaccaro and Richardson are off the board.

I don't like the Armstead pick mostly because I"m uncomfortable with how much he has risen after that 4.7 40 he put up at the Combine which is not that relevant at his position. You need good footwork, strength and length to play OT and speed running forward is not that important. I still think he is a bit of a project so the 2nd round is still too early for him.

If you swap that pick out for a different OL or DL (BPA) I'm okay with the move down. Given the picks of other OL later in the draft I wouldn't mind taking another DL here.

I like the Schewenke and Bailey picks but I suspect they may go earlier in the draft. We need some prospects along the OL to sub in for all those ageing vets.

The one thing I noticed is you didn't draft a RB. I'd ideally like to get a good RB prospect somewhere in th 4th to 6th rounds. We can't depend so much on Murray again this year given his injury history.

the chances of Jerry drafting 3 offensive lineman is 0%,i will be happy with one in the first two rds.

I really wanted a tackle option, I felt interior guys would be there later. I also felt I needed a DT that could make an impact. I wanted Richardson but he didn't make it to 18. It was too iffy for me to count on one of the 2nd round DT's I liked to be there. This class seemed to have some great Oline depth. I feel we can get a RB on the cheap if one I liked was there I'd have gone that route.

Ok so I messed up my numbering, but if you look at the picks you'll see.

so it should have been 86, not 114?

But you gave us #86 AND #114.

 

[Tobal]

Correct if you look at the picks I have it correct there, just messed up on what I wrote after 18.

 

[Tobal]

114 was already ours

More of a fill in the needs drafts as opposed to A BPA draft we're hearing the FO prefers to utilize.

I'm feeling like most fans are not going to like how this teams drafts this year once the picks are concluded.
