Complicated read and a lot to digest. Our line and having confidence behind it will be his bugbear. Sounds like last year. And the year before. If they can hold steady just a bit and he can learn to live in the pocket, this could be good. That natural tendency to look for a quick outlet might pay off with CMC and could, conceivably, get DJ Moore some good opportunities, too. It's going to take time, though. Hope Butterfingers Bobby doesn't start throwing him under the bus early.

I like this draft, gives me some hope. I said that about this time last year, too, though.

Channeling Al Davis perhaps?

Hadn't thought about special teams impact. The kid could be a natural up the center punk and kick blocker with that speed and length.

My thought exactly.

I'm not sure even Cam can teach someone to be Cam.

I really, really believe character matters, especially when in a leadership role. Character, though, iss something developed over a lifetime, particularly one with trials and tribulations. That growth in his game by senior year points to a lot of growth. Hopefully he's still growing and can make the most of it here. He's our guy now and so he deserves our full support.

Okay, he's bigger than he looks. Great! Let's go!

Great hype vid, but what stands out is how small he is compared to a lot of QBs. That doesn't mean he can't play (Drew Brees seemed to do okay), but it answers my question from night one, "Why did we choose the shortest of the top OTs?" I think the kid has moxy, something we've had in short supply over the last couple of years.

Huh?

Didn't even consider us going this way, but I'm intrigued. Really intrigued. He has some traits that could really help us. That trigger-quick release will be an improvement if he can read pro defenses. His penchant for running increases our attack potentials greatly. He's got a chip on his shoulder with something to prove. That's not always a bad thing. And, apparently, he isn't a big fan of mouthy rich kids who won't work for it. That could pay dividends in getting a team to work harder. This should be interesting.

I guess we did end up with something here. I didn't have Corral in my crystal ball at all, though.

Please, no.

We're going to be enjoying all the yellow flags Penning will draw. Olave, well, we'll see. We could be grabbing a lot of Olave'targetted INTs as well if they don't change their QB plans.

Yeah, Fit is the new kid at the bargaining table and it shows. The Jets suckered us and we just kept talkin about how well we'd made out.

Unless he's been yanno, meh. Brown has been, yanno, meh. We should have taken it and fired another shot at the board.

So does the sucker at every poker table. It's better to be wise than active for the sake of movement.

So I've been told. Icky wasn't making it past pick #3 also. Things happen.

And I think he also over trains his body. Those muscles may be more than his tendons can cope with.

Zappe in the fifth. We're going LB in the fourth. Chad Muma or Jojo Doman.

We've got nothing of real value to trade that we don't need. And we can't trade away our future draft picks and mortgage our future (especially in light of how reluctant top end vets are to come here at the moment). We're staying put and taking what we can get when day 3 comes around.

/takes a bow.

I'd love it to be Ekonwu, but I think he's going to be the first off the board.

Okay, so let's put it into stone: Who do you think we're taking? Are we trading and if so, who with and who do we then pick? Lastly, tell us who you'd pick. I think we get Evan Neal after the early hits go for Edge rushers. Who I'd pick: I'd want to trade back with Pittsburgh (I think they really want Malik Willis) and pick up Tyler Linderbaum and a second rounder +.

The NFL Network, hands down.
