Given this always had to be a developmental pick, and this guy DOES have tools, it feels decent enough. He definitely needs a year minimum but that's fine. Like Rice it's maybe not my favourite pick but it's OK.

Maybe cheer for some D-II college team and talk about kids playing the game the "right way" and mention things like lunch pails like it's the 50s |

The last two drafts were amazing, we're use to finding starters up and down the board.
This draft as a whole feels more typical of how drafts usually are. We picked players who have some nice upside but in all reality they will be valuable depth for a while. Kind of like Skyy rode the bench for a vast majority of last season. That's not a bad thing. |

I like what we’re (likely) going to be putting out there at both tackle spots as much or more than I did last year and think there’s room for growth on both sides (where OBJ probably not and Wylie felt like he was playing at the peak of his ability). That alone makes me feel a lot better and like the pick regardless of whether he beats Niang, etc out.

You're just welcoming more criticism to your takes by being an insufferable person who needs to disagree with each pick... I would never consider myself draft savy, but let's just see, I have some faith in Veach and reid |

It blows my mind how dumb these GM’s are. In no way should a tackle that has excellent size, elite arm length (35 inches!), huge hands, very good athleticism and a proven track record on film of quality pass protection be available at the end of the 3rd rd.
Did I mention he was a 5 star recruit? Did I also mention he had the 4th best 10 yard split among all OL at the combine? His tape at the Senior Bowl was excellent too. Goddamnit this was the best pick of the draft just purely based off value alone |

Jones is just OBJ but even bigger, and even slower to my eye. That's just my opinion and I'll be honest-I watched like 5 minutes of video on him before I was just like-Nah. We just let Brown walk. Don't need another. |

But I was never an OBJ fan, and I think I've made myself clear in my belief that Wylie blows goats. |

Those picks have all been, so far, better than you would expect. Hardman and Nnadi could also be added as "meets expectations" type picks. Neither was a star, but they filled needed roles on 2 Super Bowl winners. (both more impactful in the first SB win than the second, obviously).
