It's so annoying to me but yeah I think we may have to restart at RT. But seriously, when did it become that you couldn't find a damn Olineman outside of the first round? Like have we ever thought about maybe just taking a guy in the second or third round instead? I know we have Bebee. But that feels rare for this team.
Anyway, I feel like we are a long way from talking draft. And then you have resigning and free agency. And right now I'm a Pickens not resigning away from putting WR at the top of my list.

OT is better than DB at least.
I dunno, taking a guard over an impact TE like Tyler Warren feels like it would be bad. If you hit on an OT though, that's very helpful to this team.
What else? RB if the pick is late in the first? WR, but will one be available? Defensive lineman, LB or pass rusher, depends on best available. I'm not forcing a DE pick if there's an OT I feel great about.

I certainly feel better about an OT than an OG.
But that's also why I never wanted them to sort of lock Tyler Smith in at LG. Just feels a bit like a waste of his skill level. But yeah I don't know yet what our needs will be. Nor do I really know who the top prospects will be yet. OLBer/DE wouldn't be a priority at all for me. But that's because we have the young top picks there. Of course if a stud is there you can't really pass that up either.

We're halfway through the college season and this "generational" draft is starting to look kind of shitty.
Jeremiah Smith is one of the best prospects I've seen regardless of position probably ever, but one guy doesn't make a draft. Leonard Moore is a legit top 5ish talent, Colin Simmons probably as well even though he's a 3-4 OLB only, but other than that what is there?
Arch and Cam Coleman are pumpkins, Dante Moore has been underwhelming and injured, and Dylan Stewart got kicked off the team.
There are some good prospects of course but I think it's fair to say that the "generational" talk should be put to bed on this class.

I wouldnt think it would be a very fast one at this point.

KJ Duff is a massive dude. But he looks explosive still to me. Sometimes when you get a dude that tall they are just lumbering in and out of their breaks. This guy looks a little more like Tetairoa to me where you can see that change of direction despite the size. And yeah I'm guessing Duff is a legit 6'5" (I think he is listed at 6'6"). So yes, he'd be in consideration for me as a Pickens replacement. He'd do a lot of what Pickens gives you well.
Of course my problem is I don't want to let Pickens go for a 2028 third round comp pick. That's what will really piss me off. You can't give resources away like that.
