Pace LB and a few decent RBs still available. Also Luke Wypler oddly, major slide , thought he was a 2nd/3rd rounder

RB, sounds like a backup to Brian Robinson

Yeah he supposedly cannot catch. Odd they wouldn’t look for one that can with the departure of McKissic.

Yeah, maybe they see Gibson in that role or maybe EB doesn't have that role in the new offense but I think he had it in Kansas City. Still might be looking at McKinnon

TBH I'm leaning towards French's take. Less bothered about LB though it is a weakness (trade coming up maybe?), than the lack of a road grader on the OL. We may have potentially the best DL in the division if not the league, but that doesn't mean everyone else's are bad. Most everyone else in the division is now able to keep their QB upright against our pass rush and run it down our throats. We can't say the same. EB better be able to scheme up a way for us to chew up clock when we need to because I don't see us as a power run O or consistently making big plays passing while SH is operating outside the pocket a lot.

The one thing I do think we've improved on is the ability to get turnovers, notably INTs, on D. We'll need them.

Anyone know why we don't seem to do much initially in the UDFA market or do they just keep quiet on signings? No word of any post draft signings...

They've done a number of signings already. I think I saw Nicki J. tweet about a few.

Meh draft. Hope it works out but I’m a little down on the guys we got.

The 2 DBs back to back were a little odd but maybe they are both ballhawks and Can replace Fuller and Curl in 2024… OL still has a huge ?? QB too. Is Howell the guy or will Brissett take over ? Going to be interesting.

Very weird…I had heard Buffalo nickel was a priority But in the second round?

And it was another reach. Mathis was a reach last year in the second.

There were much better prospects on the board specifically the C from Minn and the Guard from Florida. Both those guys are starters in the league immediately

The evaluations of Stromberg were all over the place. I dunno about 290 lbs tackles/guard but we will find out

Like wtf, Forrest and Curl were later round picks…I’m expecting this Quan dude to ball immediately. His evaluations were late 3rd round pick.

Seems like the WFT put a premium on players with a really high Relative Athletic Score (RAS). All their picks were in the top tier in RAS, except the late round running back, and there is reporting the scouts had supplemental info to boost his RAS score.

The emphasis on RAS seems to be a trend. Cosmi, Forrest, and Butler are all freaky athletes.

Stromberg is a freaky athlete, but not sure if he can hold the line against some of these interior monsters. Reminiscent of Corey Lichtensteiger. Great zone C, could not pass protect at all.
