Kyle doesn't trust most rookies. He buries them for a year or two tbh. I wish he had more balls like Walsh.

I think positions like OT and EDGE are groups where more often than not, the good/great players are higher end picks. Most often you're not finding really good EDGE rushers out of the 1st 2 rds. The same (to a lesser extent) is true with OT.
I feel like you can find good IOL talent outside of the top 64 picks. Same with WR/LBer/DBs. Scheme fit is big there. EDGE and OT overall need to be able to do the same s**t regardless of the scheme.
Also to play devils advocate about the no call stuff, wouldn't that also make OT less of a premium? I mean if they can just all hold all the time
Someone else said it and I agree, I'd much rather see them go after one of the top 2 or 3 interior OL's or LB's in the draft then the 9th or 10th best tackle. Whoever they draft in the first two rounds, they need starters and contributors, not projects.
To me, it really depends who falls. My order of desire would be Jackson Powers-Johnson (IOL) > Amarius Mims (OT) > Troy Fautanu (OL) > Terrion Arnold (CB) > Quinyon Mitchell (CB) > Cooper DeJean (DB) > Darius Robinson (DL)
Considering it's highly unlikely any of those players minus Robinson will be available, it'd be Robinson for me. If he's gone as well, I'd look to trade down
I think they have a shot at these two plus Guyton or Morgan in R1.
That was me talking about taking the best IOL over the 10th tackle etc.
I see a lot of mocks showing the F'in rams taking Powers-Johnson and Steelers Fautanu now. Evan see Frazier going to Detroit in some mocks Literally last week all were down at the bottom of 1/ top 2nd.
I hate looking at the draft this early because guys always rise up.
I really want a center, but if its not there they should take BPA who can play tackle or slide in at guard. If its really not a guy they love maybe there's a CB there?
JPJ is the only center worthy of R1, the other guys are R3 at best IMO. 31 is kind of a dead zone for OL nad even CBs. I just hope one of Guyton, Mims, Morgan, ot Fautanu is there. CBs, guessing the top 4 are gone then maybe Lassiter...not too much a reach at 31. One or two teams always reach (Raiders) so hopefully they do again and one of those OL falls to 31. Never know.
Good to know. I see Frazier going end r1 through mid rd2 in mocks so far. I know we need it but my god it can't be d line in rd1 again- nooooooo lol
