I have to imagine Evero has some input here. Hopefully they see something we don't.

These types of picks always make me thing they are a “coach’s favorite” type pick and not someone the GM or scouts are really going for.

Fans really think they have the inside scoop more than a team of scouts. Trust the front office. 

A first round grade LB in Simpson is on the board and you trade UP to get a 25 year old LB

Definitely could have been gone before 93, been a bit of a run on these rushing OLBs. I like the pick based on what they said about him on nfln and his physical profile. We’ll see how he develops

[Castavar]

Stupid trade. Still a TON of talent left, he would have been there at 93rd, and you would have bene able to keep your other 4th rounder. If you tradfed up for anybody, it should have been Simpson or Ade.

This is a crazy reach. This guy would've been available at 93. 

He likely would have been available for our 4th.

2nd best TE on our roster 

I was just about to say this. What if we didn’t draft him as a DE…..

Seems to hold up well at the point of attack. Seems disciplined and stays at home. Nice building blocks. Get him in an NFL S&C program and he may be a good place holder for the next 3 years

Well he’s definitely got quick hands…

A thought, with Carolina still owning 114 and 145, it's not out of the realm of possibilities they trade up to the end of the 3rd. You wouldn't have any Day 3 picks(Assuming you don't trade someone like Corral for a third), but a high upside third round guy(Like Washington for example) could be worth more than any 4th or 5th round pick.

Almost 25 years old and a project? Weird. ABC had the screen looking weird and I got stoked I thought we got Byron Young....

Just because he was a first round grade for Mel Kiper doesn't mean he was for apparently 32 NFL teams.
