I disagree.

C or C-.

We had to fix our OL to protect Carr who has been injured the last 2 seasons. 'Miller will start at RT and could move over to LT since Penn is 35. RT has sucked ass for as long as I can remember.

Hall played at a smaller school but he was productive and we needed depth on the DL.

Parker was an awful pick in the 3rd round when he still probably would have been available in the 4th, possibly even the 5th round.

Key was a great pick in the 3rd round at 87. He and Mack are going to be a nice duo IMO.

Nelson was an amazing pick at 110 in the 4th round, he was ranked 52nd overall by PFF. Great value pick in the 4th round and helps the secondary.

Hurst was a steal in the 5th round. No question about it.

Townsend, we needed a punter. That's about all I got.


PS: I would have gone with James in the 1st round. I was surprised by taking Miller but Cable loves him.
A couple nice pick ups in UDFA so far
Marcus Baugh TE OSU
Jason Cabinda LB PSU

Colts cleaned up w/ this draft. 2 great, starting guards & a severely underrated RB.

Lions did great, too.

Several DL in the 2019 who would've gone ahead of Chubb.

Yep, he can be a very very good player no doubt that’s why I dont think the Browns taking Ward at 4 wasn’t a reach. He fills their major need, secondary, and they still have Ogbah on the other side of Garrett who is still 24. Next year there could be 2 maybe 3 better DL better than Chubb. Bosa, Lawrence, Ferrell, Oliver...

Hope you guys can get more out of him than we did.

Im hoping Hursts heart condition isn't that bad he dropped a lot. But the majority of the Raiders picks were some form of risks. Whether it be off the field issues (Key) or players coming off injuries that dropped

Mayock said it was a Hank Gathers type heart condition. I think there are meds now for that condition but still if true, he sounds like a ticking time bomb to me.

I honestly think you might have gotten the steal of the draft. If Hurst is, in fact, healthy as it seems like he is, he is going to be a future All-Pro. I wanted Cleveland to grab him so badly.

Hoping this is true. Like Gathers RIP still remember watching that loyola game. Hurst does have a ton of potential .

If I remember correctly both Gathers and Kimble transferred from SC to Loyola

As much as I hate UM Hurst has a very quick burst and was a very disruptive DT. I was actually hoping they grabbed him earlier. I know everyone said he would drop. Didn't think he would drop that far. He did say the heart condition wasn't new that he played with it his entire college career

Here's something interesting to discuss...

Offensive and Defensive Rookies of the year

My picks are Saquon Barkley and Bradley Chubb

OROY is probably either Barkley or Darnold.
DROY is probably either Chubb or Roquan Smith.

I'm not sure winning year1 should be a priority of this draft. You see Baker Mayfield and Josh Rosen both in 'project QB' roles which is what you want to see in a team.

If I were Rosen i'd be grinning from ear to ear with a guy like Larry Fitzgerald to throw the ball to 10+times a game

I doubt that just due to Fitz's age. He is probably happy about David Johnson.

Fitzy will be around 1 more season. Who else would a rookie QB want to throw the ball to than a longtime veteran receiver like him? I too would be happy about having David Johnson to hand the ball off to as well

No doubt about it. Fitz can be a great mentor when the kid has a bad game.
He can still put up numbers too. It's a nice spot for Rosen to be in with Fitz and DJ coming back healthy.

Great locker room presence for the younger guys coming in
