They need him to be solid. We've drafted injured guys before who haven't ever played up to their scouting reports before they were hurt.

Yup...just about 7 weeks until camp. Seems like the season just ended.

This is pretty early to have the top 2 signed. Glad they have Tampa in the fold too. Rookie camp started today, I believe.

I think it's going to be KC and us. And KC will win again.

We'll see. Nearly all UDFA's wind up getting cut.

Yes...forgot about him. Still, they could have used that money on keeping somebody else instead. Queen? Clowney? Zeitler for one more season?

Well...even Ozzie flubbed here and there on draft picks but I can't say I ever remember him paying a guy before he earned it. Shoot, there was a better case to be made for Queen than Oweh!

$13 mil is a steal---from the Ravens. Can't believe they couldn't have negotiated a cheaper extension like they did with Bateman. The guy just hasn't panned out as hoped.

In my opinion, the overall grade depends on Rosenberger. If he can become the starter sooner rather than later at RT, I'll raise my grade. Yeah, Franklin kind of fell out of the whole draft.

These are probably just camp bodies. Do any of them really have a chance of sticking? Same question about our 6th-7th round picks. Overall, and just from what I've read, I'd give our draft a C at best. Your opinions? It's tough when you're drafting so far down in each round.

Walker had 12 drops last season. His drop rate is 8.5%. He's pretty solid otherwise but I'm still wary because of the Perryman fiasco.

Also, just read where Preston believes he could be a shutdown corner for us, which we haven't had in a long time. My concern is his size and tackling skills seem to be lacking from other sources I've been reading, but his coverage skills are sky-high they say. Regarding rounds 2-3 and later, we need an OT or two and I think they'll draft at least one tonight. And when they do get around to drafting a WR I'd like to see them consider Rice from USC. But, you guys know a lot more about college talent than I do. Who would you like to see?

Just read where 'The Athletic' gave a grade of A-.

Hi Dee...yeah they gave it a D but had him ranked at 34 on their big board. I don't know anything about the guy except what I've read here and online.

I understand your concerns about Stanley but I think he can give us one more year. Faalelle is big and has some talent but I see him more as a backup or rotational guy. That's why I'm worried here...plus our depth is non-existent.

One of the better picks they could have made given the run on OTs. But who is going to play RT this year? By that I mean who's ready at pick 62 to start at RT? I fear the answer is 'nobody'.

Actually, I expect them to trade down into the 2nd to get more picks especially since EDC said there's only 20 players with first round value on our board. 'Course, he might just be blowing smoke. We'll see.

If they haven't drafted by 11, I'll go to bed and see who they got on an iPad. As for the evening...I'll look at ESPN here and there to see what's happening. I'm planning on watching a 'Yellowstone' season 1 episode tonight with my wife.

Succinctly put and spot on.

27 is young enough to still improve, but as each year goes by it is more and more difficult to change. He did show strides of improvement last year as well as some foot-dragging at other times. IF he gets adequate protection this year, I think then we'll know if he is going to progress as a passer to the next level. My biggest concern though with Lamar is can he get his timing down on the deep ball to open receivers? We left some deep gains on the field last year because he had trouble timing his throws to receivers who had a full stride on the defender, but the ball was overthrown. I think the ability is there for him to do that physically, but has this become a psychological roadblock for him?

As long as the offensive line holds up, everything should work to Lamar's advantage.

Now all we need is for Lamar to throw the ball to him. He was open quite a bit last year, but the ball didn't come his way. He did drop a few and maybe Lamar didn't trust him?

There's nothing not to like about the deal. It's about as team friendly as can be.

I don't think we should go anywhere but with an OT in the first round and at this point in this mock Guyton is still available. And i think I like USC's Rice in a later round for WR.

Yep, we need a wr who's capable of going up for the ball and fighting for it. And I agree...wait until later to draft a RB. I don't have access to pff...was one of the 3 tackles an OT/G type?
