I'm not a draft guru and do not follow the pre-draft  speculation closely. Wirh Ealy gone, that leaves Addison, Johnson, Peppers, and Horton. Add Delaire to the mix I guess, and that's the DE group.

What do those who follow this stuff feel they can get with one of their many picks who is worth a damn. Johnson is older and injury prone, Peppers going on 37. Horton not a pass rusher and Delaire is a jag. Addison is the guy on the rise. What can we expect DG to do in the draft to infuse the spot with new talent.

I feel like I've posted this in every thread but my opinion is Taco Charleton. While I do believe Solomon Thomas is going to be a good player as well, Charleton just has that prototype DE size and athletic ability Gettleman covets

Yeah Charleton has the frame of a JPP,  Ziggy Ansah, or Chandler Jones. I don't want him but he is a true 4-3 DE

There is Myles Garrett and then there is a mile and a half distance to the next set of DE's.  Whether Solomon or Barnette, I am not crazy about either at 8.  If Fornette, Admas and Hooker are gone, I'd love to drop back to 12 w Cleveland, picking up an early 3rd.

at 12,  Solomon or Barnette, OJ Howard or a WR would all represent good value

Taco doesn't have just the prototype size. The guy can flat out play. I've watched plenty of Michigan games, the guy is straight dominant against top flight competition. He's an absolute force. Again this doesn't mean Solomon Thomas is trash, he has a serious motor and can certainly get after the QB. I would be more than excited to get any one of these guys, with Barnett being behind both of them.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
