I’m still hoping they try to trade a 6th rounder to the
G-Men for Darius Slayton.

Zach Tom can mirror.
No anchor.
IMHO LAC developmental OT.
Sleeper alert...DaRon Bland Fresno State.
Akayleb.
Need EDGE depth.

Up to this point, no other AFC west team has improved themselves on the Oline this offseason:

Chumps/Faiders/Donkeys all need RTs.

Its a division of edge rushers.

Good eye. I like these dudes.

Something to bear in mind:
So far 2 picks, two Senior Bowl standouts.
We should have known.

Also really like Joshua Williams as a developmental guy who might supplant Mike Davis in ‘23.

What do you see Zack Tom as? Tackle or Guard in the NFL? Just curious....

[Charge!]

The thing to remember is that we have had 2 picks so far and both will be starters and improve those positions. If you include Mack that is 3 starters so far which is as good as one could expect or want.

If we land one of the top 2 punters today, we will have at least a 4th starter out of this draft, and likely we will draft a RB who will likely be a 1a/1b rotational back with Ekler so a key contributor and possible starter. We might also find a blazing fast WR who could also be a key contributor on passing downs and as a returner or gadget player, etc.... and we will improve some of or depth.

I do think Araiza gets picked by the end of R5 - I am hoping its the Chargers actually. I mean after reading about Woods - the pick made sense as I don't know enough of these names at this level. Nakobe Dean went R3; the kid the Ravens got - R3. RAvens are slamming it I know that much

So if the pick is Araiza - it does feel an area of need to me.

GMs know that Dean is that great producing college LB that doesn’t have “it” for the next level. He had the best DL in perhaps college history in front of him. Time will tell … small and slow is not the formula for great NFL LBs.

Agreed.
Good prospect.
Length and speed.
Easy to visualize StaleyD interest.

Most say Center.
Point is IMV no OL on the board
now are better than Pip & vet + June 1st.
This guy has pass pro possibilities.
But I know you like your thumpers.
The more I study--the wronger I get.

Edge depth....what do we think of Dominique Robinson? Jeffery Gunter?

I like the thinking....but I'm selfishly liking the best RB we can scoop...Boltdude, how do we like the "contact balance" on Zamir White, Dameon Pierce, and Tyler Allgeier?:hello:

Yea...I like him as developmental IOL...so we are on the same page.

I was not a big Nakobe Dean fan.
He missed a few tackles from what little i saw.....i want those guys to gobble up everything.

Too small to shadow tight ends.
