note that ncfan was the 1st to predict we would go after Daryl Williams

ncfan:

"would rather see us go out and get a solid LT in the 1st. A Good #2 WR in this deep WR pool in the 2nd. Then get a Road Grading Mauler RT like Daryl Williams in the 3rd."

ncfan:

"3rd R: Daryl Williams- Looked good at LT vs Alabama last year but will be a RT in the NFL. Kid can open some holes in the run game and a solid pass blocker."

ncfan:

"3rd R - Daryl Williams: good pass blocker for a RT, had a GOOD showing at LT vs Alabama last year. Good run blocker. Future is RT in the NFL but can play LT if needed. Again better than any OT on our current roster."

Not a big fan of trading away picks, but this draft was an exception. We had more picks than we could sign (with UDFAs still to go). And every trade has catapulted us up the draft board--solid value with that. Getting players we otherwise would not get. And outside of the OT, we're getting players that we don't need immediately, giving them time to grow within the system while contributing to ST in the meantime.

The way the picks fell it's almost as if GMan saw the future because damn...literally every pick in every round that I would have done were gone before our slot...so with his super powers he seemed to know that his picks would be gone by the 25th in each round and was like fug it I'm going in.

 

For those mad at these trades....literally just look at each round and how it fell....almost literally every pick anyone wanted has been gone before our selection in each round...I dare say we HAD to move up to get these guys.

He should compete to start at RT right away. The fact that he's going to get work at LT shows that we thinthink he might have potential there. Very good pick. Maybe my favorite pick of the draft so far. Really thought that with this OT class we might wait until the 4th or 5th to take one.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.

      Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.

      Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
