So what is your draft strategy after today?

[Peon Awesome]

I don't see that there's a player likely to be there that we would be racing up to the podium to draft at 8. I think there's probably 5 or 6 guys we'd feel pretty good about taking. And with that being the case, I think the ideal scenario would be trading back into the 13-16 range for perhaps an extra 3rd and taking whoever is available between:

Warren, McMillian, Jalon Walker, or Will Johnson. Could also be ok with Membou or Will Campbell as an heir apparent to Moton if either of them are still on the board and the others are gone. If we trade back a little further, I'd add Emmanwori to the list as well.

Then we could package the extra 3rd to move our 2nd towards the top of the 2nd and draft either Schwesinger (assuming we don't take Walker) or Malaki Starks (assuming we don't take Emmanwori). Then our defense would more or less feel set.

Need two picks in that 18-45 range. It’s not a bad draft. There just isn’t a ton of separation between picks 5-45 or so.

Nope. Top prospects not doing drills at the Combine has unfortunately become the norm. I mean, I don't blame them. There's more potential risk than potential reward but I definitely miss the days when pretty much everyone who was healthy participated.

That is so lame and honestly a small red flag for me

It's the norm these days. Almost unheard of for top 10 type draft picks to participate.

Yes the Belgian Malinois, most special dogs around..

 

first dog was Tibetan Mastiff.

 

if you want some dogs, hard to find more loyal, tougher, and smarter than those two..

I was gonna comment that the first dog looks like my Tibetan mastiff, except mines not mean and has the black and brown coloring like a rottie heh.  He’s still growing, only 10 months old in this pic

If I ever get a dog this what I want

How many DT’s do we need? We already have D Brown, Wharton, Bobby Brown, A Robinson, Tuttle, Ray all under contract. That would be a poor allocation of resources with how many other holes we have. That’s a lot of $$ on the sideline watching. 

With as many injuries as we had last year it makes me think you can never have enough defensive linemen.

I agree, but we can’t afford to add another highly paid DT on the roster. You create dline depth by drafting well and having those rookie d-lineman produce on cheap contracts. There’s a reason why the Eagles let Sweat and Williams walk. You have to spread out your money to create a more balanced team

I agree, the draft and a chance to get a prospect like Graham would be the way to go. Otherwise I agree about having enough DT’s.

I’ve had a buncha different dogs, so far the American bulldog is my favorite. The Tibetan mastiff pup is great too but the bulldog is very trainable, loyal, strong, good personality, affectionate, everything I like in a dog. The only thing really so far the TB is behind in is he’s not as easily trainable and not quite as affectionate. 
 

Pic is an 11 year old American bulldog about 110 lbs (Jackson) and as of this pic 11 month old Tibetan mastiff about 100 lbs (Jericho)

Graham, Carter, Hunter, Johnson. The odds that one of these 4 players are still on the board is pretty good. 

If by some bad fate and they are gone. I trade down in round 1.

How much a Tibetan Mastiff pup set you back over there?

Not as much as they used to be, I’ve read not long ago they’d be 15-20k.  These days they’re around 3500-5k
