Just saw a mock on cbssports has us taking Ford, Wren, and the safety out of BC in rd 3.

That works for me!

Pretty good group to choose from. FWIW, I think we got the best player in the draft last year.

I do too.

Id really like to think we would have drafted LVE had James not been there. I was really in love with that guy. Same with Evans. I heard Taven Bryan was at the top of our draft board but i dont buy it.

Rashan, Montez, Bradbury and Ferrell fail to qualify for top 32 consideration.... D. Bush and DK Metcalf held in high teens.

2 CBs in top 32, w/5 safeties in top 50.... not including Thornhill, Deionte and Abrams ??

That would be one hell of a free fall. That would surpass Derwin by a bunch. It aint gonna happen.......

Never say never...there were MANY people who said Derwin wouldn't fall to us, but he did...

Pipe dream but wouldn't it be amazing if Ed Oliver has a similar freefall as Derwin and we were able to nab him. Basically, the main knock against Olvier is his size and that he did not play that great as a NT for Houston. But he would be amazing as a 3T for us.

The real question is... What are the eagles, colts and Raiders going to do? I'm pretty sure the boltz won't move up in the first.
my guess is the eagles go defense, colts get a WR or DT. Raiders need a TE, G, RB and CB, edge.
The boltz will get the player this 4 teams pass on.

Hey man welcome to the Blues. Its great to have you. Make yourself at home.

FWIW We are in the market for inside pressure. Pure 1TECHs need not apply. Late round developmental OTs. TEs.

With regard to FSs do NOT forget about instincts and sound tackling. Athleticism and physicality without tackling is only a faster version of Addae.

Agree, Wood, instincts are key. If you watch the tape on Derwin the few times he's played deep safety, he frequently edges up and over, even before the ball is thrown, to where the play is going to be. Then, all he has to do is turn on the jets to break it up. THAT'S what we need in a FS...
