Ive had many drafts like this, its over and I feel great about it.... Then I review it and see no OT or CB or ILB(almost a must given the talent).

Brother its great *expect for the no ILB part, I mean that's not a deal breaker or nothing and there's always UDFA.

Plus I do not care for Beck at all, but at pick 200...perfectly fine with that. 

everetererettte at 159 is cheating, what board is this? I always use conses.

please please please.

not my fav OT, but Fano is fine for me at 19. might be a long term RT and yeah RT at 19 isnt ideal, but he can be a 10+ year top starter out there long term

love Hill. do it all ILB we have missed for a long time. hes a plug and play ILB.

Davis is a huge CB but top tier agility and speed. likely is a guy to push jackson/horn long term. he had 2 great years and a meh one in between. that pushed him here for the draftniks. tested extremely well. dont think he last this long with the testing grades and those 2 years of good/great production.

Love Jones at C. zone guy, but long time starter, best C in NCCA last year..... my fav C outside Lews

Roush played on a terrible team, but he is a top TE if he was on even an average team. tested well, and the speed is on film too. this is a gamble but that late sign me up for a + athlete at TE.

corleone, great name, fireplug DT in the middle of the line. situational guy primarily. likely a 0 on passing downs in getting to the QB. hes there to take the lanes away form the QB/RB and let all the other guys actually get to the QB. on obvious passing downs hes on the sidelines.

If we miss out on Freeling or Lomu, I don't think we take a serious stab at LT this draft. We might take a RT that they think could project to the other side in the mid rounds, but overall, it's a bandage and won't fix the issue if Ickey doesn't return to form form the injury

I've mocked it over and and over, it's these two guys or we should pass on LT altogether.   It's a great draft if you need a RT, super deep, but starting caliber LTs are very thin this year.

Okay, so here's my prediction.

19. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech

51. Jalon Green, S, South Carolina

83. Lee Hunter, DT. Texas Tech

110. Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama

158. Caden "Vanilla Gorilla" Barnett OT/OG/C Wyoming

159. Ephesians Prysock, CB, Key and Peele State U. (Washington)

200. Beau Stephens, OG, Iowa

I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us.

Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA. 

R1 - Kayden McDonald

• Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school.

R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up* 

• I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty. 

R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour

• Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps.

R4 - Bud Clark

• Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages.

R5 - Kendrick Law

• The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps

I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.

 

Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year.

Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
