I am however disappointed that we seem to have passed on CB in what I view as a very strong class to pick one up in. Jalon Kilgore probably doesn't solve our outside CB depth, but he feels like a Texans type pick at 5-1.
I get that sports brings out strong emotions, but I really don't get fans working themselves up in an anger frenzy when we are talking about guys picked in the 4th and beyond rounds.
He had some injury issues last year, but I'm hoping them not going CB high in the draft is an indication that they still have faith that Jaylen Smith can be a good player.
The other tone of this draft is players with flexibility - Rutledge at G/C, Klein at receiving/blocking TE, Nwaiwu at OG/OC, etc. Randall fits that mold. Feels like it is prioritizing inside-out but also versatility this year.
Ball security, pass protection, and lack of wiggle. I like his style of running though, no nonsense, one cut, get through the hole and go.
You need a good OLine to have a good running game. They had, for last 3 years, crappy run game. Something tells me that is changing. They spend 2 'pick' for the starting RB. They have a decent 2nd RB and I think he woild be better with a improved OLine. Next pick could be a RB, CB, WR.
Abney was a CB projected as a 2nd rd Texans pick in a lot of mocks. I think they could go Johnson or Singleton at HB or a center but I’m fine with Abney as a #3 CB
Looking at BPA, it's kinda crazy to still see higher rated TEs on the board than the one we took earlier. It might sound crazy, but at a certain point, do we grab Joly or Trigg? We need weapons and if we're going to run, going 12 personnel might be smarter than we think at times. Woodaz was the #24 LB too, and there are still some top LBs on the board that might slide to undrafted and could be interesting looks if they actually make it that far - Perkins, York, Williams.
The other theme that is evident is that culture matters. We're taking good/great football players that are also good/great humans/teammates.
