I am not so sure that Christensen is not a G---Forsythe or Hudson for me

That's Kelvin Benjamin.

Moses, LB T. Smith G Twyman DT Johnson S Ford S Roche Edge Forsythe T Hudson T

He will be all of the above--help for the LT, lead blocker, pull and kickout from the wing, a receiver, a special teams terror. Remember, LSU used to have a ton of FBs. All they had--then they got away from them. 4-5 years ago, they had about 7 on the roster. Brady's last year, they had 1. They stopped recruiting them. This is Bradyism. I noticed his highlights featured 2 catches that were pretty easy balls and he bobbled them a bit before catching. He needs 1000 hours on the jugs machine to warm up for 2000 hours on the jugs machine.

He had to fall to them, which means they were not targeting him--I am guessing they saw OT as a need and were going to grab one there, when Marshall was staring at them. Then they move back up for Christensen. ( I am not yet a Christenson fan--could be a LG--Elf to C. LT is still not settled).

Thank you. We hear for a year how we are going to analytics and that does not mean player measurables. It means situational football. When your defense cannot get off the field and opponents complete 71% of passes outside the numbers, you get a CB1. When you can't score inside the 20, you get a guy who is known for it. This is the most impressive pick by far--the picks we got, the player we got, the need....

Erving, Scott, possibly Daley

I watched a lot of his tape last night--he catches instead of attacks a lot. Maybe they can fix it. He needs to start within a year, and we all know that would give him 6-7 years as an effective OL. Yes, moving inside is possible. I still hope we draft Forsythe, Hudson, or maybe even Smith from ECU. Ball is another idea. Doyle for Mof Ohio--we still have options. Christensen is not going to be a world beater, but I am not confident that LT is fixed.

OK, I get it. But in my mind, I think "We got Marshall at #59 (or whatever) and 2 picks.... Very excited about Marshall. He took over the "slot" WR at LSU when Jefferson left and has done well. Could be a huge addition. But just personnel--I do not think people realize what Tremble is going to do on special teams, pass protection, and the run game. I am excited about him, and my first reaction was "crap." Gotta go to bed--watching 4 rounds tomorrow.

I say we take the MLB Moses tomorrow because Smith has the clots--he may fall. A S in round 5. A g and K in round 6. he has not run a 40--say he is slow. I would rather go with one of the many others that are good value in the fifth.

You have to take into consideration the picks we gained etc. Darnold (after the Teddy trade and today's dealings) now only has cost us a second round pick in 2022. The additional picks have put us in position to move back up if we want to. I expect a S and a G tomorrow

We had a S like that in college who would take your head off--he ended up playing for Denver--but I did not like practicing when he was out there. I once took a dive over the middle when I saw him (I was a TE) and the coach jumped on me about it. I replied, "If I am going to get hurt, it is going to be on Saturday, not Wednesday." He laughed--and so did the entire defense--at me.

He took Jefferson's slot position at LSU when he left and it went well for him. We have 4-5 solid WRs now-we have never had that before.

He is going to be our next Hoover. Now, I want you to know that this is not a metaphor--I meant Brad. But the special teams, the trapping, the lead blocking, etc. Oh my.

There are still many safeties on the board. Ford (Pittsburgh), the kid from Indiana, etc.

Maybe they will package the picks to move up into the late 4th--their board is only 150 players, so if they get 2 tomorrow, we could be done.

My board for 4th round: Rank Player Comment 1. Trey Smith, G Tennessee Former T that can’t block the edge, needs to play G. Great run blocker 2. Jamar Johnson, S Indiana Ball hawk, not great at tackling 3. Dylan Moses, LB Alabama Nice value at MLB behind Perryman 4. James Hudson, LT Cincinnati Raw, but a year away from starting and good depth. 5. Jaylen Twyman, DT Pittsburgh Good pass rushing 3 Technique; has not played in 18 months 6. Paris Ford, S Pittsburgh Leader, playmaker, good in coverage, good tackler 7. Quincey Roche, Edge Miami Trans to Miami from Temple, was effective. Rhule loves him (SR Bowl) 8. Stone Forsythe, LT, Florida Tall, long arms, great in pass protection—bad in run game.

They do not have a 40 time on him (he said hamstring at the pro day) and one scout said they doubted he had speed to do anything bout add 10 lbs and play OLB. I dunno--he looks slow, but how slow?

Damn that Calvin. Looks like the terminator tried to swallow a Mini Cooper.

Added a 4th for 2022--so by trading Bridgewater and making this trade (in part), Darnold is going to cost us a 2022 2nd rounder and nothing more.

Think this trade with Houston is for a 2022 pick?

If your LT needs some help on the blind side....

Give me Wyatt Davis

THAT damn Benjamin picture at right needs a thread.
