Now, if we can get Caldwell with our next pick then this draft is a homerun for the defense imo. 

He'll be there in the 5th. Go get Thornton @ 132.

Im not a huge fan. They could find more compelling presenters. Not that it matters all that much *shrugs*

I just don't like them playing the heel.

Landon Jackson was the #43 prospect on NFL Network (Daniel Jeremiah) board.  Getting Jackson at #72 is very high value on his board.  

He also had Sanders around 97 or so and the other Sanders at 20.. so who knows

Either WR Isiah Bond or Jalen Royals would be awesome adds.

I'd argue it's only set because Josh played out of his skin, partially coupled up with Cook's breakthrough. There's not a single WR on the roster who is a stand out, grade A, receiver. Shakir may get there but he's still young.

I think you are really underrating what a healthy Kincaid will look like this year.

 

If we get pre-injury Coleman and a healthy Kincaid, Josh will have much better options.

 

Draft a speedster (might need to move up...) to round it out and I think we're looking good.

Xavier Watts would be a great pick in the 4th round if still there. 

[NeverOutNick]

I actually really like our first and third round picks. I’m just trying to pretend we got Burden instead of another rotational DT that plays 15 snaps a game. One day we will actually draft WRs for Josh that can actually create space

They punted more times in the Super Bowl than they've punted against us in all 3 playoff matchups combined. Let's be real, our defense has been a massive disappointment in those games. So we gave McDermott all his toys. I'm not going to totally hate on the strategy. But the strategy needs to produce a different result.

Yep, excuses for Sean are gonna be thin if his D doesnt perform.

Which is why we are sticking to the same strategy -- that the Eagles used to force those punts.  Pressure with front 4- take away quick passing game.

 

This is the right move, it's a player e v a l issue if this doesn't work.  Which is my concern, Beane and staff haven't crushed DL historically but now just poured 5 new players into the equation ( so far): Bosa, Oji, Hoecht, Sanders, Jackson.

 

I thought they'd remake the secondary with more speed in FA.  Hit Max in draft, S is the weakness- guess they're counting on Bishop/DL to cause enough havoc to hide them.

Who is blocking for Stroud??

Brugler has jackson at 47 overall too.

[billsnheels]

It would be really great if Ayomanor kept falling and we could find a way to come back up around where our early 4th was. Assume someone will grab him before this round ends, though.

 

And there's another WR for Houston...

Okay top player on my board has gone - Revel, which means time for a board update!!

 

1. Princely Umanmeilen^, DE, Ole Miss

2. Isaiah Bond^, WR, Texas

3. Shedeur Sanders, QB, Colorado

4. Xavier Watts, S, Notre Dame

5. Cam Williams, OT, Texas

6. Bradyn Swinson, DE, LSU

7. Marcus Mbow, IOL, Purdue

8. Charles Grant, OT, William & Mary

9. Elic Ayomanor, WR, Stanford

10. Jalen Royas, WR, Utah State

I really hope we can land a speed WR.  

 

That's it for me, putting the grandkiddos to bed, and then hitting it myself.

I think they will take a receiver with their first pick tomorrow. Currently #132.... but I think they will use another day 3 pick to get up a bit higher in the 4th.

 

Two of our 5ths could get us to the top of the 4th. I'd be looking to do something like that for Royals, Felton, or Horton, whoever happens to still be on the board. I'll be disappointed if our vertical WR addition ends up being like Arian Smith in the 7th. I want a legit prospect.

[Ben]

I bet we trade once more into the back of the 3rd

[gonzo1105]

They have a lot of Weapons now but they literally have no interior offensive line and their tackles are very average.

Great point or he’s gonna be doing a whole bunch of bubble screens 😆 

[JaCrispy]

Had we just taken Collins instead of sanders, this draft would have been perfect so far 

[Draconator]

Dawn Aponte must have had a personality bypass as a toddler.

[C.Biscuit97]

Texans absolutely loaded up for CJ. Love both the ISU WRs and they compliment Nico very well.
