  1. This looks like a modern NFL draft.  The priority is to pass the ball, protect the passer and rush the passer.

     

    You also need to build cheap depth at expensive positions.  Pass rusher and pass defenders get paid.

     

    So the first 4 picks setup the team in the future.  I would have liked a CB earlier but the value was not there.  Beane made good moves that will pay dividends in the future.

     

    There is no reason to believe the draft was a failure.  Rating it low because the team did it differently than you thought is not a good reason. Pick a QB high or pick an injured player who will retire, that is a bad draft.

    Is mahomes the guy who couldn’t beat out Davis Webb for a straight two years until he got injured?

     

    Did the last 3 #1 overall picks at Qb transfer? Yes, by god they did. It’s almost like it’s common when big programs bring in 5 star qB recruits every year. 
     

    Do you think Kirby Smart do do do do doooooo should have stuck with noodle arm Fromm? 

    I think you were reading into this a bit much but looks like it hit a nerve.

  3. One data point but here are the rankings below for the players in consideration for the Bills 3rd round pick, #93.  This is based on Dane Brugler from The Athletic.

     

    #103   RB Michael Carter, UNC

    #68    RB Kenneth Gainwell, Memphis

    #137  WR Anthony Schwartz, Auburn

    #88   WR D’Wayne Eskridge, Western Michigan

    #83   OT James Hudson, Cincinnati

    #71   OG Deonte Brown, Alabama

    #172 CB Trill Williams, Syracuse

    # 93  S Hamsah Nasirildeen, Florida State

    #100  OT Spencer Brown Northern Iowa

    #99   OG Trey Smith Tennessee

    #115  OG Ben Cleveland Georgia

    #138  Kellen Mond, QB, Texas A&M

  4. Gil Brandt on NFL radio today said a 4th round pick this year would have been a 6th round last year.  So yes, a weak class.

     

    That said, there are always diamonds to be found.  Beane earns his pay in a weak year, not as much in a strong year.

  5. With the 49th pick, the Cincinnati Bengals select Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri. 

     

    The Bengals need to get better on D.  With DTs coming back from injury, LB was a clear need.  Bolton is a 2 time all SEC LB who can grow into playing all 3 downs.  He plays with an attitude and he plays fast.  He is not afraid of contact but needs to shed blockers better.

     

    With the first 2 rounds (3rd round pick traded to move back into 1st) the Bengals have added:

    Christian Darrisaw, OT

    Kadarius Toney, WR

    Jayson Oweh, Edge

    Nick Bolton, LB

     

    While still a few years from contending in a tough division, these player will improve Cincinnati as a team overall. 

     

    The Bucs @BigdaddyinOrlandoare on the clock. 

     

    Thanks for organizing and executing @Virgil and @whatdrought.
