So USA has this happening...

Why? Why would we take a clear 3-4 OLB who can't set the edge for our 4-3?

With such few needs, this makes no sense...and I'm not convinced Landry can get it done against superior talent...

We'd also have to consider swapping fourth round picks in that deal, but if Bryan and Vander Esch or off the board, I really like idea of trading back...

That damn Fanspeak Premium Draft Sim is addictive...

Right where he should be, but Taven Bryan & Harrison Phillips still on the board (Bryan won't, but Phillips could), take Phillips and use a third on a tight end...

We have this player already in Trey Hendrickson and Alex Okafor...besides, I'd moved up a couple of spots and taken Josey Jewell and closed out my needs on defense...

True, we need help at NT, but I'm not sold as he's only stayed in shape for one year and with Kyzir White, Brian O'neill, and MJ Stewart - those are better picks...

Saints offense is predicated on timing and reliable hands which Hamilton has same stone paws as Coleman...Grab Texas Tech Dylan Cantrell, Big, Quick, Reliable Hands...

No. 147: Jack Cichy, LB, Wisconsin

Like Cichy's instincts, game, but those injuries and availability is a key concern - too early for a draft and stash pick with Schultz and Teller there......

He left LSU for Academic Reasons...

No. 171: Troy Apke, S, Penn State

Too early for Apke despite his awesome combine; he's never showed the physicality of a SS; Skyler Phillips, Parry Nickerson, ...

Picks that won't last this far...

Watch Taven Bryan stump blocker, rush the passer, and then recover to catch the option pitch out...

If Troy Apke could actually play DB he’d a be a monster with that athleticism. He doesn’t have any of the intuition of a Safety; free or strong. Gesicki is pretty nice though. I like him as a 2nd rounder.

Do we try to jump ahead of Atlanta for Taven Bryan? He’s a perfect fit for what they’re doing on defense and it’s a position of need for them. It would probably take our extra 4th and 5th round picks just to move up two spots with Tennessee.
