Fautanu looks the smoothest, Fuaga and Frazier look like beasts. Not too stoked on Guytons movement so far - but this ain't real football. His lower body looks huge, he's just not that smooth. Looking forward to the second group.

we need one rabid beast on the O line.

Who do you like?
Click to expand...
Jackson Powers-Johnson - absolutely good fit but pricey for a center at 24
Amarius Mims - Great pick if we get him - 6'7 beast
Troy Fautanu - He's 12 on Kipers board, big fall if he lands 24
Barton - 2nd round guy
Jordan Morgan - Makes sense, good player, good fit
Zach Frazier - Another center at 24?
Chop Robinson - incredible speed and looks like parsons but production was crazy low, mazi 2.0
Adonai Mitchell - Outstanding player and would be in range

-------------------------

Personally, my favorite pick at 24 would be Edgerrin Cooper or Sweat.
We need someone to come in on defense and reshape our outlook on how tough we are!

Fuaga is just a different dude. He's built like your classic 330lb slow-footed mauler, but plays like he has a jetpack attached to his pads. In any other class, he's OT1 and goes top 10, but this year is ridiculous. I still think he goes in the top dozen picks when it's all said and done.

Fautanu might be more obtainable, but I think people are seeing what kind of a hyper-athlete he is too. It's difficult to say where he parses out in a studly OT class that pretty much all raised its stock this weekend, but I'd take him at 24 without blinking.

Mims is a guy we have to draft at #24 if he's available IMO. We were fine taking a gamble on Tyler Smith as a raw athlete... well Mims is even scarier of an athlete.

I'm not worried about JPJ's arm length. Center is closer to guard than it is to tackle... reach isn't as important. Creed Humphrey and Jason Kelce's arms are within 1/4" of JPJ's, and like others have mentioned, Linderbaum's arms are an inch shorter. It hasn't slowed any of them down at all.

Interesting, they can trade back and get your favorites.

I think Mims is going to be almost certainly gone. JPJ, Fautanu, Barton, Guyton. Some really good options, just depends on what they’re looking for.

Mims is a dancing bear. So much upside. He's my home run hope.

Fautanu would be 2nd on the list.

But ultimately I am at peace knowing we always draft well all of the time and we will this time too.

What are doing with Fautanu? Playing him outside, or kicking him inside and moving Smith to LT?

I’d not gloss over cornerbacks. If a Koolaid or Wiggins falls, that could be it.

Think many view kool-aid as round 2 corner now.

Cooper dejean could be a faller. Think he is still rehabbing that broken leg and will work about shortly before the draft.

I could see the Cowboys trading back and taking either Zach Frazier or Jordan Morgan or the BYU tackle. They might take Guyton or Jackson Powers-Johnson at 24. I think that Fautanu and Mims will be gone.

not concerned with his limited time starting? he definitely looks the part.
