    Yeah but like 58 of those safeties were taken in the 2nd round. At this point, I would rather take the tackle they like or Kittle.

    He could be a candidate for IR and they'd in essence have him as part of their draft class next year. Something else they could do is draft a TE now and trade CJF to the Patriots for a draft pick next year. I know the Pats would love a TE like CJ.

    AFC South


    [​IMG]
    Houston Texans
    Draft picks: Deshaun Watson (No. 12 overall), Zach Cunningham (No. 57 overall), D'Onta Foreman (No. 89 overall)
    Day 1 grade: A
    Day 2 grade: A
    Overall grade: A
    The skinny: Houston found the inside linebacker of the future with Zach Cunningham, a Daryl Washington-type defender who should be around for a while. They needed to find a running back, so they headed to Austin to pick up D'Onta Foreman, who could be a force if his weight is under control. Deshaun Watson was an excellent college quarterback, and the Texans are hoping he becomes a great NFL quarterback. I'm with Bill O'Brien on this one, even though Houston parted with a 2018 first-round pick in trade up to get him. With Houston's defense playing well, they needed a leader and playmaker to get the offense rolling.



    [​IMG]
    Indianapolis Colts
    Draft picks: Malik Hooker (No. 15 overall), Quincy Wilson (No. 46 overall), Tarell Basham (No. 80 overall)
    Day 1 grade: A
    Day 2 grade: A
    Overall grade: A
    The skinny: Indianapolis had to be thrilled to get Quincy Wilson to help out Hooker in the secondary. Tarell Basham is a pass rusher who can covert power to speed on the edge; getting him in the third was a good deal. In the first round, the Colts got the rangiest safety prospect since Earl Thomas. They got very good value at No. 15 at a major position of need. It's a big win for the Colts' defense.



    [​IMG]
    Jacksonville Jaguars
    Draft picks: Leonard Fournette (No. 4 overall), Cam Robinson (No. 34 overall), Dawuane Smoot (No. 68 overall),
    Day 1 grade: B+
    Day 2 grade: A
    Overall grade: A-
    The skinny: Cam Robinson is a beast, and will be a longtime starter inside or outside for Jacksonville; giving up a sixth-round pick to get him in the second round was no sweat. Duwuane Smoot from Illinois has strength and flashed off the edge, a solid pick in the early third round. Blake Bortles' development will be aided by Fournette's. Fournette's injury history is a bit worrisome, but the same was said about Adrian Peterson -- that turned out well. But will he be able to succeed like last year's No. 4 pick, Ezekiel Elliott, without a similarly talented offensive line?



    [​IMG]
    Tennessee Titans
    Draft picks: Corey Davis (No. 5 overall), Adoree' Jackson (No. 18 overall), Taywan Taylor (No. 72 overall), Jonnu Smith (No. 100 overall)
    Day 1 grade: A-
    Day 2 grade: B
    Overall grade: B+
    The skinny: Taywan Taylor adds solid hands in the receiving corps for the Titans, who apparently wanted to re-make their receiving corps at the expense of other positions. They continued to help the offense with tight end Jonnu Smith, another Jordan Reed-type matc-up issue. Smith was likely picked a bit early, and Tennessee could use linebacker help. Corey Davis is a really good player who deserved to be picked early. However, anytime you pick a player with an injury (Davis is coming off ankle surgery) at No. 5, there is a slight concern (thus the A-minus). Still, I expect he'll be a big-time receiver. Jackson has some work to do at cornerback, but he can learn and he's explosive as a returner.

    A.J Bouye will make 14 mil next season and he was undrafted, when it comes to dbs and safeties I trust our scouts to find quality regardless of round especially ufa. I'm very concerned with the o line more than anything, we NEED to get a starting right guard and a solid swing tackle

    Well the Cowboys just had another hole open up at DE as Randy Gregory fails his 7th drug test. Though it's not really new, he was already suspended

    Potentially yes to both.

    The Texans are sticking hard with BPA approach this year.
