I don't have nearly enough knowledge about the draft to hate it. However, I was not thinking swing tackle at that spot. It is fine if he can play & can be RT in a couple years but not what I was hoping for there. I guess I have irrational love for Ajayi even with a potential EXPLODING KNEE!!!
He should thank the D.J. Humphries hype for helping him out.
Bryce Petty? I'd actually be ok with it in the fourth.
No but they worked him out.
Well, OK. Don't know anything about him outside of a couple draft profiles I read. Not a dire situation at RB I guess but if they are truly going for it over the next couple of years that stable does not inspire a whole lot of confidence outside of 'they should be OK with these guys at RB'.
I felt the same way, and wanted Ajayi there too. Hell, if it was up to me, we would have traded up for him. But we as fans fall in love with players that we know or have followed thru college. If we're honest with ourselves, we don't know shit about the vast majority of the players drafted each year. Which makes it look all the more retarded to throw the tantrums we're seeing out of some.
Not right now. Not after taking a swing tackle in the third round.
Looking at his highlights he has some good feet and he runs with power I can see him as a Murray lite.
Other then RB what position would you be happy with in the fourth? I'd say DT I guess.
And when each guy goes before our pick, you will look back at this choice.
Backup punter.
RB or DT. It is almost a must.
Carl Davis would have been amazing. Talk about rebuilding the D-line quickly. With Davis and Gregory I would have felt pretty damn good about the future of this D-line. Especially with Crawford and Lawrence on the roster already.
I wouldn't be surprised to see us pass on DT the entire draft. I'd really like Michael Bennett at this point but I don't know that we have shown any interest in the guy. At least he would provide us with someone to rotate in at the 3 technique spot and protect us from Crawford getting hurt.
They seem to like Terrell McClain quite a bit. I've heard Broaddus mention that more than on e & if they ignore DT in the draft it may be true. They might feel like the rotational guys they have at DT right now can get them through the year. Going to have to address it soon though. Now would be good if they can still find a guy with some upside.
