I'm exactly the same, still not sure how I feel about it.

I THINK I'm marginally in favour of BPA in R1, because my assumption is that that is a DL pick, and that is sorely needed. Given an LT would probably redshirt, I think I'd then go for another developmental guy with one of our next two picks, perhaps move up slightly.

But man, I don't know, which is why I couldn't hate Crow's approach here. DT feels like our weakest position, but LT our only true "needs to be fixed" one. We know we can win with Jones and a bag of @ss at DT. If I liked the LTs in this draft more it would make this decision a lot easier.

For me, the big thing is we have to be better on the OL. I hate giving up picks but a better OL makes the QB, RB's, WR's, and TEAM better. I think our draft will primarly depend on what Andy and guys think about Moore .

My theory is if you can get a LT in R1 like Conerly and you start him at LT, then you start Moore at LG and move him to LT if you need to at any point. You keep developing Suamataia as either a swing or as RT to take over for Taylor. That's my theory at least.

I know every draft has disparities but this one is going to be a clinic on “teams feel differently about a certain player” from about pick 25 to 100.

It's a craps shoot after pick 4 IMO. Going to be a really interesting draft.

I honestly think if you redshirted Conerly to build his play strength, I couldn't hate the approach. Realistically, we'd judge success on the eventual outcome I imagine. If that meant Conerly starting in his 3rd year, and being an above average LT in year 4...I think I'd consider that a win.

It's probably the only position I'd be OK with zero returns the first year. If if meant we'd somehow passed on a stud DL, it'd sting, but I could accept it.

A nice little cut-up to share with you guys on Etienne's blocking

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">RB Trevor Etienne (#1) blocking vs:<br>- Kentucky<br>- Alabama<br>- Texas <a href="https://t.co/jnDB6szFoZ">pic.twitter.com/jnDB6szFoZ</a></p>&mdash; Taylor Kyles (@tkyles39) <a href="https://twitter.com/tkyles39/status/1914724487804616795?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That is one good thing about not breaking the bank for Moore.

You can’t do that if you give Dan Moore 4/82

He's willing to stick his nose in. That's for sure.

You don't get to play for Kirby if you're uninterested in blocking.

Note to self: Do not draft Xavier Truss.

Whole bunch of those clips were #73 getting his ass kicked...

I would also like to reiterate that Carson Beck pretty much sucks.

Yeah, he sucks total shit. I don't think Brugler had him with a draft grade, just as an UDFA. He'll be lucky to see a camp IMO. He needs to play OG but he's too tall IMHO.

Wait - Miami is paying him HOW much?!?!?!

Dude is getting $4.3 million dollars!?!

Well no damn wonder he didn't declare. Carson Beck would've struggled to get the league minimum. Dude's getting 3-4 times what he'd make in the NFL to go to Miami. That's lunacy.

Yeah, that checks out. But he was getting dog-walked on a couple of those as well. Guys just getting immediately under his pads and shoving him backwards.

That ain't gonna play at OG either.

Camp body. Maybe.

Got some actual highlights of JJ Roberts now too so I edited the OP

He might be the best of the guys like him bc of his blocking ability. He’s be really good here
