Not gonna lie. Do not love this pick. Pretty underwhelmed with our 2nd and 3rd picks.

There's the pass rusher.

Fitting that NFLN is in the middle of a commercial break.

Surprised it took this long. Really didn't think Fitts would wait from #39 all the way to #93.

Hooker ends up going in the 3rd about where he was always slotted to go.

A lot of folks are probably surprised to see Josh Downs still available but I'm not. He's a terrific NFL slot prospect but he's a slot only guy at the NFL level and those guys generally max out at mid-2nd round value and it's not uncommon at all to see the best slot prospect come off the board in the 3rd. Factor in the durability concerns and I would've honestly been surprised to see him drafted by now.

There was some BS QB rumors leading up to the draft. Stroud falling? Goes #2. Levis going high? Falls to the 2nd. Hooker climbing potentially going on the 1st? Still on the board at #51.

I'm fine with the pick. Honestly I wasn't that high on the kid but it was obvious the Panthers' organization was with him being a top 30 pre-draft visit. We made a big trade up to #1 to draft a QB and our offensive skill positions are lacking. Build around this kid.

Keion White just looked PISSED. Good grief man, calm down. You expected the be picked earlier but you're an NFL player now going to the best coach of his generation. It's not an awful outcome.

He went to the Lions. They leapfrogged the Pats.

Those Lions fans just scream fetal alcohol syndrome.

It's why I'm glad we went offense. We have some key young guys to build around on D. We traded away both of the young offensive skill position players we had to build around. Build around your QB. There are good stopgap defenders available.

Our division rivals are loading up on pass rushers.

Cool. All that defense talk was a SMOKESCREEN!

J Stew!

No trade down. We've made a pick.

Ahahahahahaha! Yep, NFL going to commercial break. Like fuging clockwork.

We're on the clock, so time for a commercial break.

I'd listen to offers if the phone is ringing. It's a long way to #94.

Raiders get the best TE in the draft in the best TE draft on years at #35. Well done.

Porter Jr. going to the Steelers is poetic, not gonna lie. And now the Titans just told everyone that Malik Willis is a bust trading up to take Levis (another bust).

That's the risk you take being in the green room. We saw it with Aaron Rodgers. We saw it with Lamar Jackson. Blame the Colts. They put up a good smokescreen that he was gonna be their guy to keep other teams from realizing that Richardson was the target to avoid getting leapfrogged. They had to be panicking when they saw that #3 had been traded but breathed a huge sigh of relief when it was the Texans back on the clock having already picked Stroud. The NFL advisory committee had every reason to expect he was gonna go high.

I think he fattened up for the Combine. That's why he stayed in that hoodie. I don't think the kid is averse to working. Some people are just slightly built. I expect he'll probably add some weight at the NFL level but I doubt he's ever a guy playing at 200+.

Bingo. You aren't drafting a QB at #1 overall for next year. You're hopefully drafting for the next decade. My concern is that we think that Reich's system plus Bryce Young means you can get by with JAGs at the other offensive skill positions. That's what we did with Cam. That'll lead to a short shelf life for our QB again. Young won't be running like Cam did, but he'll be scrambling around trying to buy time for his subpar weapons to get open and that'll lead to taking more hits.
