Edge at 34. Yes, yes, yes, yes, and more yes. This is the ideal spot to be taking an Edge. I could not agree more. You prefer Willis, I prefer Lawson, but in the end, who cares? I don't. Willis is awesome, and would step right in at a position of huge need and impact. Get an Edge here – you did.
Peterman at 66. Completely agree here. Last I checked we're rolling out Hoyer on Day 1. We need to be drafting and developing QBs until we find our guy, and then we need to keep on drafting and developing QBs so that we become the factory we used to be. How does that start, by drafting a damn QB – who just so happens to fit exactly what we're looking for. I have a concern about his arm strength, but again, 3rd round pick for, at worst, a solid backup QB that we develop going forward.
WR in 4th. Could not agree more on the value here. Again, yes! There will be stud WRs available here. Carlos would thrive in our O, and Shanny needs toys – currently, our toy box is a tad depressing.
Big Fat 2-gapping Run-Stuffing NT in the 4th. For the love of God Lynch, please get us one of these. "Smart" pick.
WR in the 5th. Oh look, another toy. And this one is 6'3 230 lbs. Uh, yes.
CB in 5th. Athlete still developing at the position. 6'1 and has a decent vert. We need more guys like this.
OG in the 6th. I recently (about a few days ago) developed a mile love affair with Levin. I was looking at OGs we interviewed, and where they were slotted to go, and his value late is terrific. I agree that he'd fit right into what we're going to be asking our OL. He easily makes the roster, and at the minimum, develops into a backup OL guy. Great pick.
Jones in the 7th. Tremendous value. The guy still reminds me of his haunting destruction he laid on to my beloved Lobos a couple of years ago, and if he's a Niner, my workplace offers therapy – I may have to enroll. Another toy for Shanny.
Chuck Clark. Who? Love it. We need depth and competition at the back end of our D. Good find, and good spreading of the draft love.
And, as for McC at 2. IDGAF. If we take this guy, then Shanny must've been banging the table for him, and coupled with my draft crush for McC, I'd be completely fine with the pick. Like I've said many times, come out in 12 personnel and then find the mismatch and exploit the fuk out of it. Run it, Go 5 wide, and everything in between. Good luck D. We get a true 4 down player, and a slot WR for 3 wide. Another toy, and this one is shiny. Talk to me in three years, after he's put up his second 1,000/1,000 season, and ask me again about "value".
Nice, nice job.
And, yes, you know it's coming:
(Would've been even better with Hooker though).
