Another interesting player to watch.

We are either going to ride out preseason injuries extremely well - or our Practice Squad is going to be outstanding.

Not sure who will be better? Joe or the Oregon DE. I do like both.

Considering we did not have a day one pick, I’ve honestly never had higher hopes for a draft class than this one.

If we can hit on maybe 4 if these guys (drafted and Undrafted), it’ll be yet another successful draft and keep us young and competitive.

Our PS will be poached apart this year.

Our PS will be poached apart this year.

It will but it seems like there is a lot less of that than there was in the past. In the past you saw half the PS filled by guys signed from another team and now its only one or two spots. It seems like a trend league-wide, it may be because teams want someone who already knows their system or something - but it seems like there is a lot less movement between teams.

At least one of our DL will get signed away if everyone stays healthy, but we are still going to have a loaded PS.

there is a lot of bodies at DL right now and a big number on DEs....I wonder if Joe Jackson can play the left side and back up Lawrence.

Depending on what they think of Hyder, it's basically Jackson, Jelks, and Armstrong competing for one spot at DE, depending on what they want to do with Hyder. I mean...

Quinn - Woods - Hill - Lawrence
Crawford - Covington - Collins - Charlton
Hyder

Not a lot of room for projects...

The only intriguing part about it is....which team will Taco be playing for post-Cowboys.

Hyder was insurance after the Gregory suspension. They have since picked up Quinn and picked 2 kids in the draft. His lack of upside makes it unlikely he makes the team. He would have to have a preseason he doesn't have the skillset to have!

He has a ton of upside. 8 sacks in a rotational role two years ago.

Hyder is a left end who can also play 3T on passing downs.

Rooting for the kid but he lasted to the 5th for a reason.

Lots of them last to the 5th that can play. And this was an abnormally deep draft for DL.

Greg Hardy was a 6th in 2010.

But he still lasted to the 5th. I root for him to be a steal but if he is not Im cool.

I don’t think so. Every team loves their Ps just like we do. Its gonna be tough to try and stash actual draft picks though.

The ones I want to keep always get poached.. Lol.

 

[Alexander]

I actually am a little more intrigued by Jalen Jelks to be honest.

 

[exciter]

Hyder is a left end who can also play 3T on passing downs.

As far as I know he's never played 3t and at 280 he's light so his ability to do so is nothing more than speculation. With Crawford, Collins, Covington and Hill all vying for snaps at the position I think they can get by! Team doesn't have a shortage of players that can play left end!

He has a ton of upside. 8 sacks in a rotational role two years ago.

And he's had a whopping one since then and Detroit let him walk on a league minimum contract!
