Does NFLN seriously go to commercial every time we pick?

Never said that

I believe in what this FO has done and I feel they know what they're doing over stupid armchair GMs who think they do(they don't or they'd be paid to do so)

I'm a glass half full guy and have a postitve outlook

People that just look at negatives are flawed.

Well they added some depth to the Oline. Not an interior lineman though.

Alright just got back and caught up. Our 4th and 5th rounders were all under the radar guys that have great physical tools and varying levels of football readiness.

I don't like the fact that they all were injured, but if healthy all 3 could be great.

It was likely we would take another S, LB, NT/Big DE, OT, C/G, HB, or TE for depth reason so we obviously took what we felt was the most high potential guys at those spots that we took.

CB and WR are full to the brim and it was unlikely we would take a QB, FB, P, or LS. No kickers were worth taking over what we have this year.

Looks like Goodwin will get a call soon and I'll have to check out this OT we just took. I also didn't know the second LB an S we took so I'll have to look more into them too.

Not too shocked on Skov because word got out early he might fall, but how in the frick is Christian Jones still there?

If he makes it out of the 7th we need to bring him in.

I know he has lower upside than the guys we picked but he is ready to play ball this year.

I spent so much time this off-season doing mock drafts, and I thought for sure I knew most of the prospects, but the Saints laughed at me after the 2nd round.

Yeah those guys were off a lot of boards because of their injuries. Our 4th rounder was the only guy I really saw in consideration in the 4th-5th. The other 2 nada. Still have to check out that OT. Hopefully he's a 10.

Larry Holder tweets:

Payton said it wasn't a deep draft at center. Handful of players, but it never matched.

Payton said center grades were seemingly a round or two off.

Yeah I figured as much. We would have needed a 3rd to get one. All the other ones went before our pick in the round or would have been a reach at our pick.

Goodwin this year and a draft pick next year.

Wouldn't surprise me but he honestly projects better at guard and will likely replace Grubbs. Either way we will need to draft a C/G player next year(or sign one in FA) because we will be shallow there again next year.

Read up more on our 6th rounder and he could be a serious candidate to replace one of our guards(Grubbs) next year. He's a RT/G prospect.

Team showing full faith in Armstead as he's the only one that can play LT well on our squad. That's somewhat concerning(because of you know; not jinxing it).
