That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

Qb in 7th if for no other reason to try and throw a little bit more of a scare into Bryce. 

I agree with your overall assessment, but don't agree that taking a tackle in the first isn't a sexy pick. A huge athletic tackle with high upside is pretty exciting.

I'm hoping he's our future LT for the next decade.

What if the QB they take in the 7th is Pavia?

Our oline coaches have made A huge difference  with Icky. I think Monroe has a higher ceiling than Icky... so if they get him to stabilize  the same way, We could have an All Pro tackle... I love it!!

I loved it too.  So many wanted a LB or Safety.  I said months ago that I thought our biggest need was OT.  I would have loved to see one of the top players fall to us. In a sense, it did with Freeling because most mocks had him gone before 19. 

Nothing would make me happier than to see us have a LT that we can rely on.  I remember when we had J. Gross and no one ever mentioned OT when the draft came up.  It would be nice to have a LT we could count on for 10 years or so. 

You're kinda sending mixed messages. Freeling is that dude.

No mixed messages.  I loved the pick and hopefully Freeling fills that role.  

Image if we had Gross in 2015.  We would have been Super Bowl champs.  I have no doubt about it.

Don't think he was scared by signing Kenny Pickett and will Grier? 

Ha, they scare me more than they scare Bryce. 

In all seriousness in the 7th I would take whatever quarterback has the biggest arm out of any of them left. Bro needs to see how limited he is every single day in practice and so damn sure better make the most of what he's got.

I wanted a tackle as long as we didn't reach or pass on an elite blue chip if one miraculously fell, and as long as we weren't trying to make a RT fit into the LT spot. I expected us to come out with at least 1 lineman, possibly 2 and maybe 3 if we grabbed one in the 6th or an UDFA that stuck. We need depth. Last year we used 14 linemen. The trenches are a meat grinder.

For me it took care of business outside of ILB. 
I am good with letting TEs Sanders and Evans have another season to see where they can get to, rather than starting over with a hyped prospect. Can do that next year if they don’t come along. 
I guess we are about n the same boat with Wallace and Claude, which isn’t that horrible since we got Lloyd. 

If we couldn’t have ILB at 51 (or 49) DT was my acceptable alternative and I think this guy will compliment DB very nicely. Front could be nasty this year. 
 

PS I know we threw darts at a lot of needs later on, I am not going to pretend I know the players but it is supposedly good value and f a couple pan out, good to go.

I don't know if you saw the interview with Freeling after he was picked.  He said give him about two weeks and he could play RT.  So it gives me hope that if Moton wears down he could move over to RT.  Also, I would think he could play inside if necessary.

You can always nitpick, but this is a solid draft. My areas of concern are TE, LB and RB. Our TE room is bottom of the league, no depth at LB and if Chubba gets hurt, we're in trouble. But this is solid

He does not lack confidence. Two weeks lol.
