As a Notre Dame fan, I say hard pass.

I will give Keon Coleman another vote. He is really smooth and obviously athletic. He played with a QB who scrambled for a lot of off platform throws. He is graded lower than about 7 other receivers. I like him better than Legette and Mitchell.

I think Beane knew that Davis and Diggs had become too easy to cover. Teams could send db's on the blitz (Cinci playoff and KC under Spagnola) without paying. The next steps are guys who can make a defense respect them and open up space for the offense particularly the TE. One of the speed guys like Mitchell will make the corners move back. Samuel has wheels too. If they double up at wr, someone who beats man coverage like McConkey is intriguing.

He is well versed on the receivers available. He mentioned all the bigger ones.

He made a tremendous catch off the ricochet in the playoff game last year. Beyond that, meh.

Armstead would be quite an add. He drew double teams 64% of the run plays and helped keep their linebackers untouched. He also bats down a lot of passes and pushes guards backwards into the QB. I say take him if the chance is there.

I think Astro's other write-ups and charts on that site are easier to follow. I am not sure how much correlation there is to the final picks but it is interesting. He puts a lot of time and effort into his "hobby".

This General Manager delivers every time. I expect a high-quality product with no step back. He will get the offense a few weapons and 2 defensive lineman who contribute and a couple of add ons in the summer like he did with Poona and Floyd.

My guess is DT. A lasting memory of the Cinci home playoff beatdown is Ed Oliver being pushed 5 yards backwards in the snow by the Cinci Oline. I the weather and injuries were factors but I think they add a big strong defensive tackle that can be rotated in in the event that situation comes up again. Gervon Dexter is the guy if he is still on the board. I don' think Bergeron makes it to 59. They have the hole at LB so if Sanders or Henley are there maybe they go that route.

Well, I think Beane is one of the best GM's in the game. A healthy Von Miller likely changes the narrative of these comments. Beane took over one of the worst cap space messes imaginable and created a roster that is pretty impressive most weeks. I am more disappointed in the coaching than Brandon Beane. He does his job.

After OL is addressed, more WR talent is needed. If guys keep coming off the edge and blasting Josh Allen, especially from the same side as his throwing arm, it won't matter who is playing WR.

Frazier, even though it's McDermott's scheme.

Flowers is highly thought of, some good wheels and catches everything. Schmitz probably goes higher than 57 after Senior Bowl. Robinson is very good.

Here's an article describing Al Holcomb when Arizona hired him. A Tom Coughlin assistant is not a bad start in the NFL. https://www.espn.com/blog/arizona-cardinals/post/_/id/29257/get-to-know-cardinals-dc-al-holcomb?device=featurephone

One could argue a 13-3 is the testament to team building. His picks are also influenced by who else he has on the roster already as he is picking. I think the vanilla scheme on defense hurts way worse than the personnel.

I think Bernard was drafted to develop behind Matt Milano as he missed games the prior 2 seasons with hamstring issues. Bernard had good speed, was a captain and academic all american. He likely checked a few "process guy" boxes. My concern with Bernard and a few others is they are too light and get exposed against the run. I am pretty sure he sticks a couple more seasons as he develops.

Myers is not happening. Spotrac, which analyzes contracts for major sports leagues, projects Jokobi Meyers to land a contract with an annual average salary of $12.5 million. This website uses past contracts of comparable players to come up with someone’s market value. They compare Meyers to the likes of Allen Robinson, Corey Davis, Jarvis Landry and Terry McLaurin and project he has a market value around a four-year, $50 million contract.

That article was beautifully written. Get well Kim!

130. Ronnie Hickman S Ohio State (know nothing about him. @YoloinOhio might?) Dean Kendig the draft guy has a nice writeup on Hickman/ 3rd or 4th rounder.

I put Ruben Brown, Byrd and Schobel

Cook had a nice game, his burst is exciting. Not sure he can pass block but definitely a receiving weapon. He will only get better.

I thought it was one of Saffold's best games. Bates does look different at RG.

Danielle Imports - 1556 Mohawk. Italian deli. A strong recommendation.

Spector looked very natural out there reading the play and taking on the blocker. I like him but replacing Jones or Matakevich on the roster is unlikely with a team so close to a championship. Practice squad is more likely and many of our late picks get picked up by other teams. Good problem to have.

I really like the attached analysis. Seems Burks is the guy to grab if he is available. Burks accomplished a lot in the best conference with so/so quarterbacks. The comments on the other wrs are pretty good. Bucs Briefing: 2022 NFL Draft WR Rankings & Grades (pewterreport.com) https://www.pewterreport.com/bucs-briefing-2022-nfl-draft-wr-rankings-grades/
