My thoughts: I like the Van Ness pick. I am higher on this pick than most. I think most are down on this pick because they are disappointed we didn't pick JSN or a top OT. Or they think we should have chosen Nolan Smith or Myles Murphy. My response would be that I think LVN is a good fit for...

Favorite: Tucker Craft Least Favorite: Anders Most Immediate Impact: Close between Kraft and Reed, but I am going with Jayden Reed. Most Long-Term Impact: Close between Musgrave and Van Ness, but I am going with Lucas Van Ness Round 6-7 Most Likely to Succeed: Brooks

This is definitely one of those picks where I the more I research him, the more I like him. Does seem to be a really good fit for the type of offense we run, I think he can fit into that slot role really well and will also be good on certain types of plays that we will probably run a lot of. He...

I agree about the O-Line. If I was going to take someone on the Oline this year, it would have been one of the top left tackles in the first round as an eventual replacement for Bakhtiari, but with the run-on edge rushers, I am glad they took LVN. We can draft his replacement next year if Love...

Shane McDonough is a really good punter. I know this having watched him at NC State. Of course, we already have a good punter though. Don't know much about the other UDFA's yet, I am going to have to do my research. I know with UDFA you are mostly just hoping to find competition for training...

Count me in the group that wanted JSN or a stud OT, but I am happy with the pick, and in hindsight, I think it was the right pick because there was a run-on edge rushers, and this is a great edge-rusher class. I think we have found our receiving later in the draft like usual and we can get Bak's...

Does seem like a really good fit for the type of offense that we run. His athleticism is a little bit of a concern (while not a bad RAS score, it wasn't very high either), and I do agree that there were some really good receivers available when the pick was made, but maybe he was just the best...

I really love this pick. He was actually one of my favorite TE prospects in the class, despite not getting as much attention as some of the others, very athletic (9.58 RAS), and great at both receiving and blocking, which makes him one of, if not the most, well rounded tight ends and one of the...

I really liked the idea of moving down with pick 15, but now that we have pick 13, I don't. I think we have a really great shot at either a top left tackle or JSN. I also read somewhere that players chosen with the 13 pick have a great track record of becoming pro bowlers. There's also the...

Personally, I am really hoping for a stud left tackle (Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones, or Darnell Wright), or Jaxon Smith Njigba. If I can't get one of these, then best pass rusher available.

I would probably go pass rusher if JSN or Paris Johnson, and maybe Darnell Wright, are not available. If we are going to go pass-rusher in the first round, I would like Lucas Van Ness the most. However, I also like Adetomiwa Adebawore and Felix Anudike-Uzomah, who could be selected in the...

I would love to get Paris Johnson as well. To me, either one are no brainer picks if available.

In all seriousness, Now maybe we have a realistic shot at Jaxon Smith-Njigba?

Great! Now let's trade down and select a wide receiver.

I don't like the idea of players running things and/or determining which team they play for (unless they are a free agent) either. It's not so much because I think players should be loyal to a franchise, this is a business after all, I just don't want the pros to be like college where it's the...
