    I see him as a duel use high grade backup with exceptional trade value. I also see great depth in moderate quality OL throughout the draft.

    Please note I did not take Dart at 25. This is where I took Golden, Dart was there at 58 and totally unexpectedly. It's strictly a value play with benefits.

    It would not normally be my choice, but someone will pay dearly for a QB when the inevitable long term injury to numero uno happens and threatens a promising season. It could be us, but more likely another team. But there is value there.

    Coincidentally, BDN has a golden dart that he throws at the draft board when he gets hung up.

    CJ will go apocalyptic if we use our #2 on a QB.

    The bad news is that we have nearly SIX weeks of waiting until the draft. Obviously, what Nick does with regard to signing a guy or two will change how we draft. My GUESS is that our top-3 picks will be OL & WR.

    Those 6 weeks seem like 6 months.

    I sure hope so, but we know how DeMeco loves building his defense. I hope he doesn't say he signed an offensive lineman and WR in free agency to justify drafting a defensive guy first.

    I have been out of the country in the jungle for 2 weeks totally unplugged from news. Anyone have a quick summary? I caught that we traded Tunsil for picks and Kenyon Greene for Safety Gardner-Johnson while trading for WR Christian Kirk & signing WRs Berrios & Watson. Don’t know much about OL Laken Tomlinson who they signed, also saw they signed Sheldon Rankins. Looking at all that, my rough and uninformed opinion is that LT is IMMEDIATELY a position of need and am assuming that will be a high round priority in the draft. WR maybe less so now with the additions there?

    Pretty much sums it up.
    There’s talk from some of the insiders that they want to roll with Tytus at LT, but not sure how true that is.

    Costa Rica (The Arenal Volcano area, Monteverde Cloud Forest, & The Osa Peninsula). I love wild life tracking and photography, and when I travel I often target such activities and locations around the globe. Usually, I end up in places with absent or sketchy wifi, though in recent years, I’ve found even the remotest of places often have some form of wifi, albeit not always dependable

    I love Costa Rica. Heading to the jungle next month myself, to a little place off the grid, about 2 1/2 hours north of San Jose. The night hikes there are awesome, but my adrenaline gets pumped because I'm terrified of the fer-de-lance and coral snakes, which we encountered on my last trip. But, the ambiance is well worth it. I do wear long boots and gaiters though on those hikes.

    1.25 - Donovan Jackson : LG for next Decade.
    2.58 - Alfred Collins: Eater of double teams and destroyer of run games.
    3.79 - Wyatt Milum: OL depth
    3.89 - Charles Grant: Future LT after a red shirt year in S&C program.
    5.166 - Logan Brown: swing OT
    7.236 - Isaac Teslaa: traits based outside receiver
    7.241 - Dont'e Thornton: traits based outside receiver

    If things fell this way I'd consider moving 79 for more swings. Id like to get Caleb Rogers as a OG/OT piece and Vernon Broughton as a 3T to pair with Collins.
