Plus for some reason completion percentage matters for Lamar Jackson but not Josh Allen.

A Big, Tall TE and a Big Tall WR, yes versus speedy quick slot back or super fast flanker...

Really liked taking BJ Hill early on, after the Senior Weekend, but starting to think we'd do better singing Hankins instead...

Thomas needs a legit player opposite him and the defense needs a true space eating, block engaging, run stuffing NT.

Taven Bryan. He could play DE5, DT3, DT4, and play NT on passing downs...

He was missing in action for the Tigers for almost 3 months due to "personal issues" (details are still sketchy on that), gained weight in the process & didn't seem to be in game shape upon returning. I'd love to know what he told executives on his personal visit/Saints one on one interview.

Freakish ability but I wouldn't touch Arden in the first round. No way.

I'd take Bryan all day and twice on Sundays. Disruptive & can get in the backfield quickly. Day 1 starter.

Guess who some scouts compare him to? Cameron Jordan.

Yeah, saw Z's comments on NFL.com - but, you know, Cam is more upright, boxes, hand fights like a fierce kangaroo...

Bryan, he's in your backpocket from the time the Center pulls the ball off the ground till he releases the snap...

Bryan is disruptive as hell. The way he flies into the backfield really is something else. There are a lot of times though where he runs himself right out of the play and the RB just breezes right by him through his gap.

After the 1st Rasheen Green would fit nicely. Got to get a NT with that 1st.
