So I’m ok ish there but as far as risk assess he’s a top 40 area player at a premium position locked up in our house B-.Safety and LB were our biggest need. We basically attained arguably 1 of the 2 best Safeties in this class. A-How we were able to pull off a risky trade back and still land Edgerrin Cooper? might just be grace from above. Yea he’s slightly undersized but that’s what modern players at his position look like in ‘24 and beyond. Not all Wills are 255lb. He wins by early disruption and not letting the play come to him. A-Lloyd is arguably one of the top 5 RB’s in this class. I still gave Brooks #1 but he wasn’t an option. After that there are several graded very close in that top 100 area. We got one that fit us. Without the loose hands he’s a top #75 selection. He’s a little risky but if he can mitigate those fumbles he’s worth a Later RD3 easy. I think he’ll be better than Dillon was as a 2nd rounder. B+Ty Ron Hopper was rated by CBS at #95 overall and they’ve been surprisingly accurate at a number of players across the years. I picked him in the Rd 4 span to adjust his 5th rd consensus. We took him later rd3 in Jordan Morgan style, but we got OUR fit. 2 very good LB’s.B gradeBryan reached slightly on players that he felt strongly fit our purpose. This is an outlier draft for him, but it’s a draft that screams WIN NOW.  He’s not waiting for player development he wants early results. Any of those positions of guys can play Week 1 IMO because they are all very determined style players. These are NOT the Ted types of “I play 4 sports” and an a good athlete. If you put Hopper in there Week 1 he’s an average LB now. If you hand the ball to Lloyd he’ll go rogue off assignment and still carry 4.5 per not knowing design. He’s just that good.That concept of plugging needs with immediate results and then drafting  ultra experienced players in Day 3 spells we expect to rely on on the job training and get more immediate production. Similar to Reed at WR or Brooks at DT.I thought it interesting that we literally completely bypassed altogetherTE,DT,DEWRAnd almost CB! (I see Kalen King as a poor man’s Brian Branch).We are primarily set with multiple picks at Safety, LB and OL our 3 biggest needs Day1 B+Day2 A-Day3 B</blockquote>
