But if Graham was there you have to take it. An elite DL makes everyone else better. Look at Philly.

Same can be said about OL. Look at Dallas.

If we walk away with the top dt in the first, another de in the 2nd, and an OG in the 3rd, all starting and playing well - were vastly better off.

What we can't afford is another decimated OL AND a QB bring ping ponged around. A DL incapable of stopping the run. Those two will end our seasons.

I do agree I’d love to see a big hog on the Dline to pair with Breese. Almost more than a pass rushing DE just to see if adding that big space eater that demands double teams can make what we have better. Yea we definitely bleed to add talent on the ends but with limited resources (picks) and many needs it really make it important to get bang for the buck with at least the first two weeks picks.

I want a pass rushing DE. But I think the smart play is to hope Graham falls to 9 and you pick him there, then get a DE in the 2nd or 3rd. Abdul Carter is the elite DE in the draft and won’t fall to us. But there are a lot of DEs that will likely be available in the 2nd like Landon Jackson, LT Overton and Jack
Sawyer.

That being said, I like Deone Walker if he falls to the second. He’s huge, but athletic. He could be a beast of a run stuffer that would pair well with Breese.

6'7" 353

if he tests well no way he falls too far.

I agree totally that the defensive interior is unacceptable and needs help to spring Breese.

Idk about any of these QB's, and we need OL. We have a couple good tackles, though, but Will Campbell will be talented depth absolutely.

I believe in starting in the trenches, outside of maybe QB.

I honestly didn’t count him on purpose cause they spent a 3rd rounder on him. That’s like counting Hopkins for the chiefs. They aren’t what they used to be.


I cannot say this enough. Do not pick a WR in the 1st round.

Hard pass on Will Campbell. LSU was close to last in the country in rushing yards production . Dude is highly overrated.

Issues seemed to be on the interior of the line.

We already traded 3 draft picks to get Olave. he played 8 games. i would trade him and never give him a second contract. Hes good, but not great. No Yak.Not a big touchdown scorer

Is Tyler Warren too much of a reach at 9? That dude looks like Travis Kelce and Gronk had a baby.

Dane Brugler has Saints going

1.9 Malachi Starks, S UGA
2.40 Matthew Golden WR Texas

Mock drafts before the Sr bowl is silly but this would be a nice start

Are you people CLOWNS a WR at 9.Have you watched the O@D lines inability win the LOS.If you can`t win at the point of attack you lose.What don`t you get!!!!!


You do realize that 3 of our last 5 drafts we’ve spent first rounders on our oline. And where has that gotten us?

4/5 on the line if you count Breese. But yea let’s keep going and pass on skill positions….
