So in my mind, why not err on the side of the mix of BPA and need as opposed to just straight BPA. But I’m just a fan so I readily admit I don’t know anything. 🙂

Yep. It’s not like Davis and Cosmi were really outside the range of where picked. I’m seeing people say Davis was a reach...he was the 23rd ranked and we picked him at 19. I’m like, if it’s within even 10 picks at the bottom half of the first it really isn’t a reach. A reach is taking a fifth round rated talent in the first. I’ll say it all the time....people need to remember that the real draft is different than fantasy drafts. There was a guy on Extreme bemoaning the fact we didn’t do two separate trades to trade down for Davis, draft him at 23 and get “maximum value”. 🤦*♂️

On film, he looks like a playmaker to me. He can really move and he looks like a playmaker. Could we be looking at another late round gem at safety?

Lot of people saying he was a steal, but he is too small too play DE in anything other than obvious passing downs and cannot cover so LB is not an option. Probably ideally a 3-4 OLB

I totally agree with MissouriSkin on BPA.

It's flaws as a draft strategy are just as glaring as a "only draft by need" strategy .... If you have a glut of established players at a position, it's stupid to draft the BPA if he fits in that glut. Conversely, it's stupid to only draft by need when the BPA is way better than the highest ranked position of need, AND you could improve your team with that BPA choice.

It feels like this year was a bit more "by need" focused ... especially late ...

And the trade of a 5th for two picks at the end of this draft feels like we know we're moving on from Sherff, and we will get a compensatory pick for him anyway, effectively replacing that 5th we just gave up.


Obviously we won't know how good these guys are until they play --- just look at how pleasantly surprised we were with Kam Curl last year. But the highlights for our day 3 picks impressed me.

I'm encouraged ... and think we found some real good players to add to our team.

I don’t know jack about all these players even the million dollar GM swing and miss ... guess what .. IF any of you think you know more than who is running this team .. then you have either illusions or you missed your life’s calling ... I find most of these post pure entertainment... and that goes for anything I say ... I will tell you straight up I know nothing about how to select players ...

Many of these players will wash out. It's just a fact. Many have a hard time adjusting to the speed of the pro game.

Indeed they do.

Well I'll tell you how my draft board is decided.

First I look at the body. Do they have all their arms and legs? If so, they're already one step ahead of the ones who don't. Next, I look at their head. Is it physically attached to their shoulders? If so, +1 again. And you just keep going until everybody is ranked. I don't put too much stock into what their stats were in college because everybody knows college doesn't always translate well to the pros.

If Cheeseman picks #69...I am DEFINITELY buying his jersey.

Wonder whether Toney will be tried at WLB, he has a LB build which ilmeans he cannot be much m8re than a situational pass rusher as a DE
