Yea, with Hicks it's a matter of skill set and how teams value and utilize it. I also think he's more of that type DJ is referring to that goes 30 picks later than they should as opposed to a full 2 rounds. Box safeties like him normally don't go in the 2nd.

Matt Derrick said on 41 is the Mike that some teams were out on Hicks because he's still growing and may physically outgrow being a safety. But the Chiefs are fine with it and even a few pounds heavier have a role for him.

I definitely saw R2 grades on Hicks, but yeah we're going to use that player a lot more effectively than other teams

Oh I did too, but I'm saying given his skill set that was probably never going to happen. It's probably more realistic to say that he's a R3 talent that fell to the 4th.

Chargers got better but assuming Alt goes to RT it sort of feels...a bit of a waste. Still a very good draft. Eagles' was excellent imo, but I think that most years.

It's hard to separate what people got from where they picked. I'd put the Chiefs right up there based on the latter.

Not enough Eagles in here.
They absolutely maximized what they had to work with |

I think Philadelphia, Detroit, and us all had really good drafts that fill needs with quality players.
I think Houston had a good draft too, especially since they gave up their number one pick. I actually think they are going to be our main competition this year. |

Came back to shout out the Panthers...
Xavier Legette, Jonathan Brooks, Ja'Tavian Sanders, and a late Michael Barret pick probably makes for one of my favorite drafts! |

Love to hear all the positivity around Hicks!
I didn't do much research on DBs this year. |

Man there's actually a lot of teams who seemed to draft well.

Just realize that more than 2/3rds will be jags at best for various reasons. Hitting on even 40% of your draft picks (either starter, spot starter, or backup) is considered otherworldy and hitting on you a third is a great draft.
