Only knock on him is his short arms....and the fact that he didn't play against very good competition. But hey, he's got 29 career sacks and it's a DE. I'll take it.

NFL Network showed he was the conference usa def player of the year 2016. Did I read that right?

He's a one dimensional player and equivalent to a high volume chucker in basketball. He gets a good number of sacks, but it's basically because he just pina his ears back and goes after the QB literally in every play and ignores everything else.

In other words, EDGE rusher. Or are you thinking Myles Garrett is going to shut the run down?

Mayock just said Kamara was the biggest value pick today. Gotta call this draft an A- or B+.

After the third, and even moreso after the fourth, position targets go out the window and it's 100% about value.

So it literally could be ANY position. Whoever is THE highest rated left.

So I think we did just fine, all things considered.

Defense- added a starting (and likely #1) corner, a likely starting FS with a nose for the ball (and who doesn't get beat deep), a possible future starter at LB if his shoulder is fine (I really, really don't care that he broke his forearm. Unless he has bone cancer, it's irrelevant), and a pure pass rusher with good speed and a good burst (4 blocked kicks says he is quick at the snap).
So what if the DE isn't a force against the run, I'm guessing the DTs and LBs will clean that up.

Offense- improved the O line, and added a serious weapon with fresh legs (Kamara sat behind Hurd a lot, instead of being ground up during his SEC career).

I'm going with an A, regardless of the last pick.

Yeah, the rest of our defensive line does well against the run. I feel like we can mask one guy while he's in there.
