Jonesy is going to fall off at some point. This is the year to double down with talent to support and eventually take the lead.

Ty Robinson might be this years Braden Fiske

I want two from our first three picks.

If we're going to have a $100 million OL, I'm not sure what choice we have but to save money on defense.

Because sign Smith or trade him - we HAVE to pay for an OT. So Smiths money isn't coming from the OL - it's coming from the DL.

Starting to look like a favorite for BPA. I think Harmon might be gone now.

I know RAS is kinda dumb, but this kid was the 73 linebacker out of 2893.

9.75 overall score. Big time athlete here, but kinda small.

Looks like most projections had him late or undrafted. Seems like the type of athlete you throw a late pick at or prioritize as a UFA.

Meh, don't even know about that. He's a 6th-year senior so he's already probably 24. He's also an atrocious tackler. He has like a career 20% missed tackle rate.

I still don't think he's getting drafted.

That might explain why I had never heard of this guy before.

Two guys who seem to have disappointed, and I'm kinda happy about, are Princely and Deone Walker.

I might have expected a little more than the 4.7 from Princely, but I really haven't seen the apparent speed from him on tape, his first step is repeatedly just...not that impressive. Given he's on the visit list I don't hate him not showing up.

Walker, man, he's just too stiff and upright. I'm not convinced he doesn't go in 3rd somewhere.

Completely agree. The simulators have got me a little squirrely about passing on the DL in the first though. Even with the depth at DT I'm frequently seeing most gone by our 2nd pick, even guys like Alfred Collins. If I'm left with Kyle Kennard and Deone Walker at that point....no thanks.

Here is an article from the Lincoln Journal Star on his performance yesterday.

Pretty impressive numbers in all of the drills. 10 yard split, 40, SBJ, VJ, 3 cone, and Shuttle.

That’s insanely fast for a dude his size!

How do these guys keep getting so much bigger, stronger, faster every year? And when do we reach the peak of human athletic ability and start to see a cap on what’s humanly possible? lol I talk about this all the time with my HS football buddy, these kids just keep getting better every generation.

RAS is reeruned.

5th year Senior who's production hasn't matched his tools....ever.

I dunno -- I mean maybe with a 4th? And if we had a 5th, that's probably where I'd be looking at him.

He's more of a BJ Thompson sort of overaged developmental pick on the 3rd day than anyone I'd be looking to target in the first 2 days in a class this deep at DL.

It is. Being tall boosts the score a bunch which is stupid.

The chart is nice for quick reference though.
