I'm kinda ok with a tackle. We needed one, but we still need two pass rushers in my opinion, and we still need 2-3 good DB's. We intercepted 6 total passes last year and didn't have a corner grade out in the top 80, and our safeties weren't any better, but I'm optimistic about weddle. On a related note, jimmy smith had screws taken out of his foot. He's out 4-6 weeks.

Yeah ive been saying Stanley>Tunsil for a minute now but I really didn't want either

Tunsil reminds me too much of Monroe thats why I didn't like him

And we can't get rid of Monroe until after June 1st so we can push the cap hit to next year

Were gonna have about 18 mill in cap space after we cut him and you know cap space rolls over to the next year so we should be sitting pretty next offseason for the first time in years

Unless we take Jack I think our next 2 picks have to be pass rusher and cb

We might go CB first since there are more pass rushers left

Draft a CB with the 36th pick and then trade up in the end of the 2nd for the pass rusher

But I'd take pass rusher first and trade up for Cyrus Jones at the end of the 2nd

Jones is great retuner too so thats killing two birds with one stone

If we can get some combination of Alexander/Howard/Jones and Spence/Dodd/Ogbah/Correa tonight our defense will be good next year

Nah man, I think we gotta keep Monroe for this year. Think about it, we got Monroe, Stanley, Zuttah, Yanda, and Wagner. If Monroe gets hurt, we slide Stanley over to LT and insert Urban. This pushes Hurst to third string or off the roster. Stanley can get comfortable at LG for a year like we did with JO.

As far as Tunsil, I agree he looks and reminds me of Monroe. I see a little of bit Mckinny in him as well.

Yeah I watched the press conference earlier and they said they gonna play the 5 best lineman and Monroe and Stanley would play together if they're a part of the top 5

Personally I'd rather have Stanley/Urshel starting on the left side over Monroe/Stanley

I wanted Ramsey but seems everyone kinda down on him. I want Noah Spence tonight
Im ok with any of the top pass rushers or CBs with our 2nd round pick

I think I'd take Kevin Dodd but i think the Ravens probably like Ogbah the most

Im ok with any of the 3 though plus Correa

I want corners. Our 2006 pass rush would struggle with our secondary
I want us to take Cyrus Jones

Hopefully he lasts til the 3rd or we trade up for him

I want us to go pass rusher with our 2nd round pick but I wouldn't be mad if we took Alexander or Howard

So how do y'all feel about our 1st round pick?

Not gonna lie i was kinda mad yesterday,I really wanted a defensive player

Im tired off see our D be trash but I've come around a little bit

I think Stanley will be good and we definitely needed to replace Monroe so im now ok with the pick

I think we have to roll the dice on Myles Jack in round 2

We desperately need a playmaker on that defense and he's by far the best player left on the board

Some other players I wouldn't mind us taking:

OLB Kevin Dodd
OLB Noah Spence
OLB Emannuel Ogbah
OLB Kamalei Correa
CB Mackensie Alexander
CB Xavian Howard
CB Cyrus Jones
DE Jonathan Bullard
DE Chris Jones
DT Andrew Billings

Hopefully we end up 2 or 3 of those guys by the end of the night
^^^ we got Correa now we gotta get the CB next

We traded back twice and got a 4th and 5th

We might use those picks to trade up

Im guessing were targeting Cyrus Jones

Don't know much about this Bronson Kaufausi cat..guess we're loading up on the D side of the ball now
Yeah he was completely off my radar

Kinda reminds me of when we took Brandon Williams in the sense that I didn't know who he was but when i looked him up i was ok with the pick

Kafusi will play the 5 tech for us and hes a pass rusher

Great athlete,came to BYU as a TE,played LB and DE,28.5 career sacks(11 this past season)

I like the pick :ehh:

We have 5 picks in the 4th round today including 2 of the first 8 picks

This round will make or break our draft

We gotta hit on atleast 2 of these picks

All the CB talent is gone but it's still some nice okayers in the board

We need to get a WR.Hollywood Highins and Pharoh Cooper are still on the board

Kenneth Dixon and Devonte Booker are still out there at RB

Hopefully we can get atleast one of those guys today

So far we've taken 2 tackles,2 OLBs,2 dlineman,a WR,a RB,and a CB

We've passed on some good talent at other positions every round,its gonna be interesting to see how this draft looks a couple years from now

We still have 2 picks left but so far my favorite picks are Kenneth Dixon and Matt Judon
