    IDK. They may have thought SF/Fins were gonna grab him. This had King Coles fingerprints all over it.

    Probably the starting center. I remember him saying he can play guard or center.

    Dammit....that #69 could've been used to trade up in the 2nd for Delp. We're going DL in 2nd round pick.

    Awesome, more Caserio guard fun in the first round. I’m expecting total bust bc every other lineman has been.

    Yeah, it seems that way.
    If they got their guy then it is what it is

    But gave up a 5th

    LOL. We all know they needed to upgrade the Center position. He will probably play there. John Harris LOVES the pick. All they did was a 3rd round pick swap and gave up a 5th. That is not much.

    did we give up too much? How do y’all like the pick?

    I don’t know anything about the player or the draft this year.

    Nick did just what I didn’t want. Trade away a pick to move up two spots. Were other teams really this hot for this guy?

    I'm not sure he's a quality starter in the next 2 seasons

    22 pick difference in the 3rd is huge

    When I google Keylan Rutledge, I see multiple articles titled “Would be day 2 steal for Steelers”

    I love the pick! Did we overpay a bit? Yes, but this was the other guy Harris was talking about today that was someone the team liked and who had that swarm mentality. We didn't have any solid depth behind our OGs and there is also a chance he might be developed as an OC.

    I'm okay with anything that might improve the OL.

    If SF immediately traded out then we should probably stop saying he would have been there at 28.

    It worked out so well the last time the Texans reached for a guard in the first round.

    CJ officially on notice. Rebuilt the OL this offseason and goes OL in the 1st again alongside the Monty trade and return of Dell at some point.

    Would probably have gone DT, but we still have 38 and we all know OL has to gel or we will stumble again.

    Rutledge is going to be the starting C I guess?
