Our 36th pick, while not a position of immediate need, he provided very good value. It allows us flexibility in regard to Jon Allen as well. When somebody goes down in the preseason, we have the opportunity to trade him, or we can trade him in the offseason.

Or, and stick with me here a little.

He gives us more talent on a defensive line that was a part of the 32nd defense in the league last year.

Just a thought before we go trading starting DTs for 3rd round picks.

I wouldn’t do a third. A late first would be great. Maybe Chris Jones goes down or something.

I did forget to mention Allen or Newton can line up outside as well.

I see this as a move to have a very good interior D-line rotation, with the added bonus that Allen and Newton are both capable of flexing out to end on occasion since Im not to excited about our edge rushers at the moment.

I hear you shark and it makes sense.

I am not a fan of re enforcing an area of strength when you have glaring holes of weakness.

It was a good pick...however, if daniels isn't protected, we are in trouble.

I am not panicking or running out the door, but I think peters was drafting a bit as if we were a 12 win team and not a 4 win team.

He has done well I thought overall. Solid draft, just some questions.

We are never going to address all areas of need, however, once daniels was picked, the goal must have been to protect Daniels. That is my 2 cents.
The roster isn't done obviously, but I would have liked another tackle and WR.

I think we have a bottom 5 wr room and a bottom 10 OLine at this point. That is not good.

Peters has improved both position groups obviously. There is a ton of work that still needs to be done with the roster.

They have flexibility to play 3 man line as well.

Allen and Payne had to play a ton of snaps the last two years. What are they going to look like fresh?

In my mocks when he fell I took him because of his value . Now the arguments for wr and o/line are valid and if FiG newton fails the criticism is valid

Yes if he fell but remember Peter’s traded down like I did with 2nd rounders .

Not all of those mocks did I post them but most of the time he was off the board
