His coverage grade was in the 80s according to PFF. He actually had quite a few INTs too. 4 in his career
Ya I saw that later. Honestly haven't ever seen him I just go by what I info I can scrounge up lol. Hope he turns out to be great.
Same here. Didn’t know much about this one

If Rick insists on this shotgun approach, at least he grabbed OL early as he's clearly struggled with finding guys in the late rounds. He's done better at other positions, especially defense.

I get the strategy, you build through the draft and every pick gives you a better hit rate. But I think there is a happy medium and Rick does go a bit overboard. And why is it he never uses any of these picks on QB?

Really good value on the Boyd pick. Very physical and started a lot of games. Read he has tight hips though and may project better as a safety.

I'm thinking maybe a "big nickel" guy ala Jayron Kearse. I saw a few highlights, he's physical but doesn't play the ball much. He's also friends with Holton Hill and had similar concerns.

I like Dillon Mitchell. Is he a bigger Diggs?

Well I would say we have our developmental QB in Sloter

I'd like to see some competition or even having Sloter take over the #2 spot and developing someone else. Looks like they grabbed a UDFA but I'd be nice to see a 5th or so used on a QB once in a while. Maybe this wasn't the best year because of Mannion but maybe we wouldn't need a Mannion if Rick actually tried to draft a depth QB for once.

?? Whats the difference of having Sloter as a developmental guy or drafting a 7th round pick? Not sure how that is "BS"

We might have to use Sloter as the backup. Sloter is better than any guy we could get late is this draft
