I only question the value given the glaring need we still have at RT.
Eight tackles went before we got to our pick, so any tackle with a first round grade was probably gone. That being said I still would have liked to take one somewhere in the draft, but there where similar occurrences in rounds two and three. There was a run of five tackles before our pick in the second and I believe another eight before our pick of Puni in the third. It's easy to say that they should have traded up- and maybe they tried, but the whole league is in dire need for O-Linemen, so perhaps teams were intent on capitalizing on a deep O-Linemen class. Under these circumstances, I'm glad that they didn't try and force a pick.
My only problem with the pick is that we could have easily gone up to get Tyler Guyton - who fills a bigger need now, and potentially more once Trent Willams retires. When the Bucs took Barton, Guyton to the Cowboys became clear. The Bills traded the pic before, and I am pretty certain they would rather have dealt with us than the Chiefs! That being said, I don't think Pearsall would have been there for us in the 2nd, and I don't hate the player. I think he is a better fit for the offense with Brock, than Deebo. And I do think Deebo is gone next year.
