This draft REALLY turned around. Another solid selection with Prince

Why do you think that though? We didn't draft anyone to replace him. No X receiver. 

They drafted jjaw as his replacement. He's the only X we have really. I'm not giving up on him. I liked him coming out and still do. Let's see how he plays this year. Jeffery probably won't even play the first 8 games if he's still on ther roster anyways. They'll IR him for the year

Two. Reagor can catch with his hands. 

I was counting some speedy UDFA that I assume will be signed.

What's up with Eno?

I have no idea.

Must have bombed the interviews is my only guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh snap, I forgot he was still available. Why’d he drop?

Knee

I kinda expected another OL....

guess one of DE or RB will also go unaddressed till UDFA. 

We should be an attractive spot for a RB. As for DE, I thought once Chiasson was gone that we wouldn’t bother with the position since we’re loaded with those types of mid-round prospects. Anae fell far enough I thought we might say eff it though.

I didn't realize he was still available....that's some insane value that late.

No I get that JJAW is the replacement but we have nobody behind him. And we shouldn't give up on him but we shouldn't go in to the season with just JJAW as our X receiver either.

It's time to change our criteria for an X receiver.  They don't have to be slow and plodding.

Tega is the pick!

I guess I was a few rounds early on that prediction

 

Howie is killing it! 

I’m interested to see what Mailata’s role is this year.

Im looking for a speedier guy. Tuczka is pretty much the last one I know of.  Would probably make that the pick. 

RBs have a few left. Warren and Corbin are RBs Id draft. And then since we have Scott I wouldnt draft pass catching types but as UDFAs for competition Id sign JJ Taylor or Killins. 

Tega is 7 of 9 (kids)...  Is he a Nigerian Royal Borg?

Hopefully he turns out as well as a King we drafted out of Auburn.

Seriously.  My question as well

On the surface this seems like a great pick, he is a great athlete with a large frame.   

So why was he available here?    I never hear anything negative about him relative to injury or character.

He seemed like a 4th round type guy.

EDIT:  Ahhh, just saw the medical concerns.  I missed that.

Well Jeffery won't be backing him up. I would be 99% positive of that. I'll leave the 1% open because of Howies unpredictably and maybe Jeffery heals up faster than expected

A second round grade? Really? Is this guy not very good at grading players? 😁

 

Prince Tegs. Raw but has all the tools and played well at Auburn.  Love this pick.   Driscoll as mini Seumalo and Prince as our swing T.    High value.  No idea why he slipped as I had him as an early day 3 pick.

Both he and Driscoll we can only hope have that type of career. Loaded up on auburn tackles.

At the beginning of the day people complained he got 1 player to help wentz. 

Now, in addition to that 1 player he has acquired Goodwin, and drafted Hightower and Quez Watkins. 

4 WRs that are 4.3 guys (Hightower ran a 4.4 but hes still on that level where maybe on a good day he runs a 4.3. )

 

The speed that he has added is amazing. Some of them have to pan out, right?

 

Assuming we carry 10 OL

Starters: Dillard-Seumalo-Kelce-Brooks-Johnson
Backups: Pryor/Driscoll/Prince/Mailta/Opeta/Herbig

That's 6 guys before UDFAs for 4-5 spots.
Prince does seem like a phamton IR candidate.
