With 88 staying another year and 2 other TEs signed, I don’t see Sadiq at 23. I also don’t think he falls past the teens, but you never know with the draft.

I’m not a fan of going so heavy on OL (especially IOL) at the expense of no DE.

Overall, would be very bummed with this draft.

I'd be happy coming out of the draft with this crop.

I love day 1 and 2 even with Goedert back.

If I'm going to nitpick - Pavia isn't my guy. I'd be ok with Taafe buy would preder Wheatley. With so many young OT's already on the roster 2 more OT's seems like overkill.

Nice job though.

Questoin - did you do this one or was it one that PFN or another of the mock sites ran?

No edge & 4 Olinemen, they like the 2 they drafted last year in Hinton & Williams. Turn one of the 3rd rd picks in to an Edge & its perfect. 👍

Maybe 1 too many, but a back up center (Lew) seems necessary based on Jurgens reported back issues. An IOL seems likely given that Steen will be a FA next off-season and Dickerson's longevity looks like 2 years. I really like Crownover, former TE and really big. Perfect replacement for Big Fred, but like anyone we add it's a question if he can actually replace Lane. OK - Bell might be one I'd have passed on and looked at another position, but given last years indications Williams, Hinton, and Pierce are even more questionable resulting in a continued roll of the dice. Having said that, I understand the Bell pick but dont't agree with it. I'd have gone edge, as you suggested. Dennis-Sutton is rated right in that space.

I understand your thought process but i do think they like what they saw from Drew Kendall with him & Dickersons ability to play center. I'd also argue that any interior lineman they pick will have versatility to play center as well as both guard spots so with that in mind & Ebikatie on a one year deal & Nolan Smith playing on lasts year of contract at Edge (yes there's an option year) they need to draft an edge.
