And while I think I like the trade-up for McDuffie, I still have some concerns there. I mean....McDuffie really does have T-Rex arms. And for all the bright line rules people like to throw around, dudes with arms like his just don't typically succeed at this level. And we could've grabbed someone like Myjai Sanders with that pick at 93. 125 could've been Ezukanma or Austin
Kyler Gordon/George Karlaftis/Myjai Sanders/Erik Ezukanma - That's looks awfully good to me.
But man, some of his tape looks so good. I can't recall seeing many guys who can mirror a route like he does. That ability to stay in a guys hip on one of those comeback routes is so rare but he gears down and then changes direction so so well.
But yeah, you said most of what I would say. A couple of luxury picks (though like I said, I loved the Chenal pick) and I think too much emphasis on floor over ceiling across the board to go with too much confidence in a DL that still looks like a big ol' pile of smashed assholes.
It's a good draft - and it SHOULD be given the capital we brought in. But there were some rough edges to it, IMO, so I wouldn't go all the way to an A.

Think I agree with most of this but I'd have gone with different options at the Cook pick. I'd have been very happy with T. Jones.
I actually quite liked the emphasis on floor in the earlier rounds and ceiling in the latter. It's definitely possible this ends with McDuffie's micro arms being a huge hindrance alongside Karlaftis' lack of bend. But their production had been so high you have to hope ar least one of them makes it. I'd be far less confident that someone like Mafe adds immediate value.
