Call it in, A+

Wouldn't be mad at it

Still need a safety but absolutely no problem with those first three at all.

Speak it into existence.

At the rate Rodriguez appears to rising in rankings and mocks, really becoming doubtful he is there at 51.

Fano has some things to work on. He may not be anything other than a guard. There are better OT prospects in this draft, but they all have some questions. The top two have short arms.

Dan loves him. I bet we package one of our 5ths and a pick next year to move up for him

I would be thrilled if 4 WRs and 4 DBs and only 2 OL went before pick 19, but I don’t see it happening.

If you visit other team boards, ALL of them want and mention wanting to draft Rod in the 2nd. Panthers have the 51st.......I don't want to trade up for a ILB.

This one you do. He's that good.

He does have luke-like traits, but ......ugh I hate to spend draft currency on the low valued ILB. Same bitachin I did about Dan traded up for brooks, he even pulled the classic " we had a 1st round grade on him" 

Hell I rather see if Wallace finally learned how to get his body ready for a NFL season. Toss this in the pile too, Id be ok with Claudin Cherelus starting. I think Lloyd will elevate any player next to him and Claudin would break out, he's got the same health issues like Sanders.....he's climbing the mountain and pulls a hammy. 

Plus since this a great and deep ILB group, the UDFA pool should have a few players that get overlooked.

I hate it. There’s no way that JRodz makes it to 51, this is just like Schwesinger last year, there’s no way he lasts past the first 5 picks of round 2. I like power, power translates, Fano is the opposite of power. Jones in the 3rd is realistic and I’m ok with it.
