I haven't seen anything either. But, ACL recovery time is supposedly 9 - 12 months. He was placed on IR in August. That would put him ready sometime this Summer.

Another player who should be back, as well, is LB D'Marco Jackson who should also be ready following his knee injury in camp. We can basically look at these two as first year players being added on top of this year's draft.

Especially those requiring multiple picks for that number one.

It's supposedly a deep DL draft. We'll see who falls to us at #29.

IMO those Davenport (huge reach) & Turner DE draft picks were greatly influenced by former HC Sean Payton.

I'm no fan a Dennis as a head coach, however I have COMPLETE trust in him when it comes to building back up this defense to compete. Specifically coming off those edges (DE).

Felix Anudike- Uzomah
DE

Kansas State

Speed-to-power ratio is good. Fluid to redirect & usually first off the ball with snap anticipation.

Rd 2 selection on most scouting reports.

Being it’s supposedly a deep DL draft, I wouldn’t be mad using our first pick on a stud RB if he falls to us… primarily Bijan Robinson. I went watch some video on him and was really impressed with him, especially his vision

I was hearing the other day that there are very good RB options that should be available all three days of the draft. And there should be several proven vets out there in later waves of free agency on the cheap. Just what I've been hearing.
