Figured they would grab one. Liked Carlos Henderson but he went a lot higher than I thought he would.

Per PFF, Isorda didn't allow a pressure in 9 of 13 games last season despite having apparent greater strength in run blocking. Has started all 39 games at RG, allowing it 9 sacks in 1,376 snaps.

Possible Berger replacement in '18.

Looks like the Vikings moved down out of pick 199 with the Redskins.

Any truth that using 7th round picks instead of fighting for a player as an UFA carry any weight?

Fair point. I was looking strictly at the decision to move down from #139. Yesterday Spielman was asked in his presser what he enjoys most about the draft and he said it was doing trades. Perhaps he enjoys it too much.

He's just raw, doesn't run great routes, not a blocker. He's a specialist out of the box but he also has upside.

I love the Bucky pick and for a lot lower than I would have taken him. This was a fantastic pick by Rick
