Warhead36 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Another freaking backup DT picked in round 2. But Dejean and Mckinstry might still be there at 40… 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Never heard of the guy, but the highlights showed a guy who is quick off the jump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Could still get one of the DB’s at 40 tbh, if one of these next two picks goes our way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhd24 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I can't fault the talent as Newton was clearly a first round talent. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jumbo Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I like the pick but yeah the reactions are understandable 🙂 Also interesting that we tried trading back up into the twenties, for a wr, according to Jeremiah. But they couldn't make the right deal. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice_of_Reason Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 2 minutes ago, RWJ said: They may be getting ready to trade Allen. No. They’re getting ready to cut Mathis. Who isn’t good and is often injured. Or they are giving themselves flexibility not to have to give Allen another contract. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRagone Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 BPA I'm sure. They likely had a 1st round grade on the guy. Good franchises do this. Doesn't mean we’re getting rid of Allen or Payne this year, but does give us the ability to potentially trade them or move on at some point soon. Plus we still have another pick very shortly, with a lot of great talent still there. Wouldn't shock me if we leave the 2nd with three guys that our staff rated as 1st round talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cakmoney61 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 You definitely want people that you strongly believe will be a good to great NFL player, but I was not expecting that person to be a DT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 This is why I said in the OLine thread that I wasn’t happy with the free agency moves to address the line. The 1st pick was always going to be a QB and after that there’s no control over who falls. This team needs Offensive line first and foremost, and is loaded with needs elsewhere besides, but best player available has landed us a depth player on the DL instead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it's not a position of immediate need, but if he's BPA for them, it still makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Consigliere Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 2 minutes ago, Idaho fan said: Wow. Seems like a major luxury pick for us but huge value. I expect Allen or Payne to be gone soon. Allen's got 2 years left on his deal, Payne's got what looks like 3. I could see Allen being traded, and this guy seemed to be slotted to go in that 25-28 zone, and he looks pretty damn impressive. I'd have gotten one of the DB's, but he's in the same tier as them, and they must have had him higher on the board, I don't mind it considering I want to trade Allen anyway (or Payne, either one). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The Titans were probably going to take Newton. This is probably a WR here for them. Mitchell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berggy9598 Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Give me Cooper Beebe at 40. I'm so tired of not being a team other teams hate playing against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderInTheRye Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 4 minutes ago, KillBill26 said: Didn't see that coming. But if he was high on their board, means they probably had a mid 1st grade at this point, hard to fell bad about that. Was Cooper Dejean ripping out of Tunsils bong this week? Real bad heroin habit. Probably drop a few rounds unless Dallas takes him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is disruptive but was surrounded by mostly garbage on Illinois. Actually, rumor I saw was one of his downsides was he wasn't a supportive teammate, he would rip into his teammates on Illinois for ****ing up and not being as good as he was.
