I listened to an interview with him this morning and he claims he’s 100% healthy and no lingering issues, so I feel much better about the pick. If he stays healthy and improves with good coaching, he’ll be a really good player for us. I love that he’s really good against the run because we need it, especially now that Bijan is in the division.

Yup... if one is to believe the hype, he was a top ten pick if not for the injury history. But Bryan stated that's the only time he's ever been injured in his life. And he played QB in HS too, FWIW. Tough story to hear with the recent loss of his sister to brain cancer. His character, attitude, mindset and moxie is just the kind of person you want on your team. His interview revealed a clean bill of health right now. So he should be an instant starter next to Cameron Jordan.

Breece Hall hasn't torn an ACL posting Aaron Rodgers memes on twitter yet. 50/50 this guy won't be better than the RB we signed for $4 million a year in free agency.

Good pick! I thought we would get Murphy and Dallas reached for Mazi! Oh well, always next year! Where do we go in the second round?

Let's allow Terry Fontenot & his group worry about who they should/shouldn't have taken inside the 10 spot.

We have our own concerns in the draft :bng:

If someone selects either overrated Levis or even Hooker tonight, that will push more good players down to us or definitely within reach.

In my mind, if you want to make a serious playoff push you'll need those nasty dogs in the trenches before a skill guy.

My best guess -> we go DL or OL @ #40 :beatnik: .

Wildcard - the safety from Bama.
