Day 3 needs

As I see it, our biggest needs are still CB, and OL. I would love to land one of the following:

CB: Ringo or Rush. Both are big, fast guys and excellent value at this point of the draft.

OL:  Zavala, Emil Ekiyor Jr., or Braeden Daniels 

Bonus: Roschon Johnson. Big, punishing RB that loves to block and doesn't fumble. Yes please.

Doubt Ringo will fall to us, and I wanted the DE from Northwestern at our last pick, but passing on him to trade up for another pass rusher probably eliminates him as an interest of ours here.

I wouldn't be against MLB Henry To'oTo'o from Alabama (also then force him to wear #22 just because it would be funny).

I know we need some OL depth, but I think we can still take someone here in the 4th who could have a bigger impact this season than a backup OL.  I'd rather sign some vets who get cut in camp and/or use the 5th rounder on an OL, but if we use the 4th on one, I'd like it to be someone with experience at multiple spots on the line like Cade last year, give us a bunch of backups who can play multiple positions.

Me too I just can’t talk myself into understanding it..

Trading up and getting a developmental project that’s 25 years old already??? I don’t get it..

Fitterer has gone full Gettleman mode, but instead of going with freakishly big players, Fitt goes with the swiss army knife project players. No need to use the draft to build a team. 5 picks a year and trading away 1st round picks during year 1 of a rebuild will lead to a dynasty. No windows for players or coaches here.

Same. I would have been fine with him at pick 132 and he probably still would have been there

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
