Taven Bryan and Cam Jordan in the same front line would just be devastating; then you rotate in Onyemata, Rankins, Hendrickson, Davison...

They're are good, smart MLBer through three rounds who can cover; Bryan reminds me of a bigger, faster Derland Moore...

Josey Jewell and Tegray Scales are nice options in the 3rd-4th round. Haven’t really looked into Taven Bryan much.

Nice

LB Evans checks a lot of boxes for me.

I could live with taking Evans there, but I don't think a Sean Payton/Saints pick in the first round will ever be a linebacker again...

Thomas is too short for what we need a TE to do and that is to box out defenders in the red zone and provide an obscene catch radius...

Love the picks of Neal and Fitts where you have them...

Really like Warner and Gossett, but I think they're going a round ahead of where you have them...

Nice list Chris!!!

This is where I’m having trouble with us not having a 2nd round pick. All of the really good pass catching TE’s like Gesicki, Hurst, Goedert, etc are all likely to be gone by our 3rd round pick.

Three Starting Left Tackles - Armstead, Peat, Ramczyk - is one too many; we should've move one last offseason, must do it now...

Move the guy who needs constant adulation of how tough he is and keep the two soldiers who've come in and quietly done their job...

It's a lot easier to find right tackles and big guards, so I'd move Ramczyk to LT, trade Armstead and his cap number...

You'd have a helluva left side and when Peat's rookie deal comes due he can either move him or grab a left tackle...

Ramczyk is the Left Tackle we need...

Dalton Schultz is a very intriguing project from Stanford . He is an EXceptional blocker
Compares to Jason Witten.
He has good hands and catches the ball with his hands extended away from his body.
This is a player that IMHO will be a better pro than college football player
He wasn't use well in Stanford's offense.
Might be there when we pick in the third rd.
