Our roster is already loaded with high RAS players. We need to upgrade our RAS at head coach and GM.

Texas

My analysis is somewhat biased here. He was a wrecking show here in Dallas (Desoto High) & a disruptor down at Texas.
Has scored TWICE on offense, once rushing & once RECEIVING.

Big 12 DL of the year

We’ve ALL seen what happens when you bring heat up the middle.
Instant pressure can blow up run and passing games. Byron has shown the consistent ability to destroy pockets & take QBs off their spots.

Super talented & eager to learn and get better.

Not sure if he makes it to Day 2, but if so I’d be curious to see what the Saints do if he is there @ pick 45.

Would be floored if he drops to 45, but I know crazy things happen on draft day. I covet both him and Newton and would not be mad if either was our day one pick. I know we need o line talent, but there’s some to be had in the later rounds. Either one of those guys paired with Bresee would draw some attention to those young studs and leave some opportunities for our DE’s to eat

So, it seems that most are expecting a OL pick in the first round...

BUT....

if Nix or Penix fall to 14, do you take them?

Penix better be able to run and avoid contact if they drafted him over a lineman. Because that line would be lucky to stop a college team

I predict that whoever ends up with Daniels wins the draft. He’s as sure a thing at QB since Payton Manning IMO. He’s Dan Marino mixed with Michael Vick. Especially with the way the NFL is played today. Just my opinion of course.

The ceiling is there to be that. Would be exciting to see him get there.

I just read a report that OT Troy Fautana has a medical flag 😔.

Specifically a knee issue that could impact his longevity.

Some have mocked him to N.O.

Sounds like our kind of guy.
