And then, yeah, just kind of solid positions, right?
Defensive tackle, Tyler Onyedin, a couple tight ends in Justin Jolly and Daylon Bentley.
Nothing too crazy there.
And again, when your first pick isn't until round three or four, it's just kind of taking some dark throws and seeing if any of these guys can make an impact immediately as a backup.
And if there are injuries, they can step in and go from there.
Yeah, we had him ranked as our 166th prospect, so drafted at 243, so good value there.
Just a quarterback of a national championship defense, right?
Since they're in the Mike Linebacker role, he's able to navigate through all the trash that he has to deal with on a play-by-play basis, really good instincts.
The reason why he falls is size, right?
6'1", 230, frame isn't that big, so has a
a little bit of trouble with one-on-one one-on-one competition there with some bigger offensive linemen.
His coverage ability is a little bit, a little more, a little suspect more, definitely better at stopping the run and making sure tackles overall we have him.
Our grade is a, is a first backup linebacker with a 5.9 grade.
So an injury or two and a little bit of refinement of some coverage skills can get him into more prominent role.
Yeah, this was definitely the most puzzling draft out of all the teams, we believe.
Every pick seemed to be a reach.
Emmanuel Pregnon was an okay selection there for the guard from Oregon.
But other than that,
The Nate Boer Kircher pick from Texas A&M going in the second round.
We had him as our 12th ranked tight end overall.
