Lots of solid guys available... and plenty of draft capital to move around. Would love to see us trade those 6 rounders and end up with another 4th round selection

Ian Thomas
Hurst/Fumagali
Jewel/Griffin

Would be about as good as it gets for a team matching value with need

There's a Jerry pick.

In fact, given our abundance of picks this year, I'd be surprised if Jerry doesn't sign some guy who has gotten injured to the point of likely going PUP all year, to sit on the value til next year.

You may hate it, but Jerry (smartly, I think) see's injured players as an opportunity to get a lot of extra value out of a pick. Being willing to wait a year or two for that value to play out is one thing that sets Jerry apart from the rest of the league.

We are not going to wait a year or 2 on a heart condition to improve.

But we did take Leary and the degenerative condition in his knee. And that turned out well for everyone.

Jerry built his own sports medical complex for a reason.

This is what Brugler had on him (in listing him as the 18th best player in this draft:


WEAKNESSES: Lacks ideal bulk for an interior player, especially in his lower body…only average length…base tends to narrow in the run game…comes off the ball with low pad level, but plays taller as the rep continues…relies on initial movements to win the rep and needs to develop his countermeasures…times up the snap well, but also guilty of his share of offsides penalties…finds himself too far upfield at times, selling out for the sack…only one season as a full-time starter…red-flagged at the Scouting Combine and diagnosed with a potentially serious heart condition – met with cardiologists and specialists who cleared him to resume all football activities prior to his pro day.

SUMMARY: A one-year starter at Michigan, Hurst played significant snaps as an underclassman understudy, but didn’t get his chance to shine as a full-time starter until his senior campaign. He was used all over the defensive line, mostly as a nose tackle in Don Brown’s blitz-heavy, attacking front-seven, utilizing his initial quickness to knife through gaps or overwhelm blockers with his burst of momentum. Hurst’s quick reflexes show at the snap, but he needs to improve his counter moves and introduce more discipline mid-rush to not overrun his assignments. His lack of ideal size and length might not be considered a “fit” for every scheme, but he has the frame to add functional mass and certainly doesn’t play like a small player on tape. Overall, Hurst has the initial surge of quickness and power to break the rhythm of blockers and his ball recognition and competitive hunger are NFL-ready traits, making him ideally-suited as one-gapping defensive tackle in an aggressive scheme – his heart condition will be viewed differently around the league.

GRADE: 1st Round (#18 overall)
pick him in th 6th

I want Skai Moore today as LB depth. As a Gamecock fan that has seen every single one of his games, that would be a great value pick for us.. Plus we gain a Gamecock which is never a bad thing.

There are some really good players left. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo was a first rounder according to many.

Some thought Settle would be a 2nd rounder.

If we play the 4th right we will have selected 5 really good players.

I would like to trade up with one of the 4th Rder if we feel a future starter is out there.
