Nice value in the 7th. I saw him going in the fourth.
Nice! Thank you!

So next year so far it looks like:

1st
2nd
3rd
3rd (Projected compensatory for Waynes)
4th
4th (diggs trade)
4th (2020 draft trade)
5th
5th (2020 draft trade)
5th (2020 draft trade)
6th
6th (projected compensatory for Alexander)
7th
7th (projected compensatory for sendejo)
7th (projected compensatory for Kearse, based on playing time)

We literally could have roughly 15 picks going into next year already. And that’s not counting some more we could land today. I said this offseason on here that guys had to stop worrying about free agency and it looked like they were planning on building through the draft. Not only have they done that this year but they are doing it again next year
I love it. Rick knows how to work a draft.

Wouldn't Waynes compensatory be offset by our DT signing?

He's a high motor guy with a good bull rush. Not a great athlete but had 51 tackles for a loss.

I believe 10.5 sacks this year. Not bad at all. Those 51 must be career.

They really wanted that QB with a 60% completion rating.

Lance Zierlein projects him to be a "sitting duck" against NFL defenses. :lol:

Statue in the pocket but apparently has a good arm. Ran a pro style offense and could be a long-term back up.
