Actions speak louder than words.  If you believe in Quan as a high level FS than our secondary shouldn't be too much of a weakness and taking a slot CB in the 2nd round given our other needs doesn't make much sense.

 

(Quan was one of the few picks that I really liked from last year's draft.  It certainly seems to me that he had the making of being a good player.  But I'm also trying to make sense of this pick in the context of putting together a team.)

Quan just dropped down the depth chart

He's much better than Moreland gtfoh

Says the person who compared Newton to Ion Man 

Will be interesting to see how Peters goes about life today. He’s got this rep of being a mid/late round genius, I’m sure there is a more suitable word.

Anyway, I wonder if he’s tempted to throw a 2025 3rd or 4th on the table to play the game more today. I don’t see two 5ths and a 7th quenching his thirst. Time will tell.

The McCaffrey pick, whilst very good, looked like a slight reach…maybe…perhaps an indication we are holding firm until the 5th round.

Dejean fell for a reason. Broken legs are one of the hardest injuries to recover from. There are fighters like Connor Mcgregor and Chris Wideman have never been the same since breaking legs. I would argue you would rather tear your ACL than breaking Fibula.

Agree..I’d say a medical flag is part of that story too.

I’m hoping for a couple more fat boys on the oline, preferably ones that have a lot of starting experience under their belt

Same here.

Still think we need to reach out to Xavien Howard after the draft. 

I’m wondering about the veteran safety market.

There really are a ton of options available at outside CB. Think that’s the way to go today.

Having looked through the players available, these 2 OL would be high on my list of players for today. Plus the LB from Washington Edefuan Ulofoshio.

OG Mason McCormick 

OT Javon Foster

Interesting that Peters dealt with Roseman. Also referred to them being good friends. Eagles got these left. Wonder if we swing an another trade with them using a 2025 pick….
 

Round 4: 120th overall (from the Pittsburgh Steelers)

Round 4: 123rd overall (from Houston Texans)

Round 4: 132nd overall (from San Francisco 49ers)

Round 5: 152nd overall (from Washington Commanders)

Round 5: 171st overall (compensatory pick)

Round 5: 172nd overall (compensatory pick)

Round 6: 210th overall (compensatory pick)

Franklin must be a medical related issue. If he drops much further anyway.

That said, there is still a ton of very good receivers available. Same at DB. Incredible depth.

I hope if we have one or two high ranked players still on the board, say in the mid to higher third range, that’s we are aggressive and make a move up. 
 

Get us one more real quality pick to feast over….

He's a beast. Ionidis 2.0 but even more athletic.

I think that is selling him short.

I lied….
 

Mason McCormick - G South Dakota State

Overview

Three-year team captain who brings an incredible amount of starting experience and toughness to the table. McCormick plays with tightness in both his upper and lower half that shows itself when he's forced to make athletic plays. He can be forceful into first contact but doesn't display the flexion needed to redirect his weight quickly or play with leverage at the point of attack. His clear-eyed pass protection will attract offensive line coaches and his NFL Scouting Combine testing should have coaches believing there is still much more to bring out of him as a player.

Last one…but let’s now sleep on a kicker in the 7th round…
 

Anim Dankwah - OT Howard - Had a top 30 visit.
 

Overview

Decorated left tackle with extremely rare size, mass and length. Dankwah is a human wall with the ability to grind and drive opponents off their turf once he's centered up and has his legs driving. He moves with adequate initial quickness but will struggle to redirect his weight to make blocks on the move or to recover against quick inside rush counters. Dankwah is too tall to play guard and might not have the lateral quickness to protect the passer at an acceptable level. However, size and power matter to NFL teams, and there is enough on tape for a general manager to invest a late-round pick in him.

128. Hunter Nourzad, C, Penn State (6-3, 317)

Nourzad might be this year’s Tyler Biadasz, as he lacks overwhelming strength or elite athleticism but maximizes what he has with smarts, physicality and well -schooled technique. He has center-guard experience and should compete for starting reps as early as his rookie season.

144. Javon Foster, OT, Missouri (6-5, 313)

Foster isn’t a great bender, and his footwork and technique must continue to improve. But his size, strength and functional movements are a solid starting point for an NFL team looking for a developmental prospect. He projects as a backup left tackle with a chance to be more.

151. Edefuan Ulofoshio, LB, Washington (6-0, 236)

Ulofoshio might have a capped ceiling in the NFL, but he has overachieved at every other level because of his football instincts and active play style. He has the “all-in” mentality of a core special teamer who can make a living covering kicks while competing for defensive snaps.

Edefuan Ulofoshio - LB
 

Ulofoshio is a former walk-on who developed into a team captain and All-America player. He ran well at the combine, and flashed in the national championship with a fourth-down pass breakup in the second quarter. That was an excellent example of his ability to cover ground in coverage. Ulofoshio is also competitive matching up with backs and tight ends. He is a rangy run-defender who flashes the ability to slip blocks between the tackles. In the NFL, he should make early contributions on special teams. -- Steve Muench

A few guys I see them looking at today sticking with no 4th round picks:

 

EDGE - Kamara, Solomon

CB - Brownlee, Jackson, Hart

LB - Trotter, Knight,..... Williams

T - Jones

RB - Lots of options - Shipley, Laube

WR - Rice, Thrash

 

Jean Baptiste was another edge we looked at early in the off-season 

Wonder if we wait until the 5th or trade into the 4th. Maybe we are happy with our lot. 
 

Austin Booker would be a tempting move….

Was clear BPA on our board. What’s not to like. First round talent.

Stud, this was a player I really wanted us to get.

Love the player. Interesting to see how he’ll be utilized. He has to play in the slot. At 5-8 he’s going to get roasted on the outside, though I’m sure he could do it once in awhile.

 

Great talent. But as with a lot of our picks size is the concern.

 

I’m really optimistic here, though.

 

But this leaves Forbes and Juice as our corners…

I think Michael Davis starts

Love that haul of no picks. Round 2 has given us three studs. Anyone that remembers us taking Thomas,Davis and Kelly together In round 2 should embrace this moment.

The DL pick is great. First round grade. He’s a player. 

I also like both third rounders. Perhaps a heavier lean on need came in. And maybe the lack of a 4th rounder pushed the WR pick.

all round - great day 2 of the draft IMO.

Corley would be a beast too. Still need that bigger receiver though.

Cooper DeJean and Patrick Paul next up please

Well that’s me off to a bloody family commitment for the next day or so.

Here’s hoping day 2 drops us some great picks. Maybe even an outrageous trade for Aiyuk involving 2025 picks only. One can dream.

Have fun….

1. McConkey

2. Kool-Aid

3. Dejean

4. Paul

You could always add 40 and 100 together to move up ….. and get 2 of those…

Then back out of either 67 or 78 to recover the traded pick.

Just now, Warhead36 said:

Dont reach for an OT. Take BAP. We can get two high quality starters at WR/CB potentially.

That’s my take…….for now

Apparently Jerry spilled the beans on what the Cowboys want to do for their R2 pick.  He said Brooks was one of the most impressive interviews he has ever conducted in the last 30 years.  McClay & Stephen Jones quickly pivoted to another topic LOL.

The RB ?

Max Melton is another CB to watch

I would not be able to ignore DeJean at 36. He is my automatic pick

Difficult seeing him last that long, you think ?
