Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

Overview
Leonard is a top-heavy tackle with decent athleticism but lacking in consistency and fundamentals at this stage of his development. There is enough athleticism and potential to work with, but he is still a project with a lack of body control and balance that creates challenges in landing anywhere but a practice squad early in his career.

Perhaps the FO sees something I don't. I'm not too high on this pick.

Oh no... Rick Leonard wasn’t even a draftable prospect. Pretty much unanimously projected to be an undrafted free agent. This is awful.

Yeah I don't see it. Position makes sense, though I personally was hoping they'd be trying to shore up the interior line, but this guy? Oh well..hoping for the best, expecting he doesn't even make the squad.

Trying to keep faith with the FO after this pick but good grief! With all the o line out there why him? I’ve yet to find any good words on him.

Not liking this draft so far, Jeff Ireland magic seems to have disappeared. Too many project picks.

Re: 2018 NFL Draft - Draft Day

Ugh! Love 1st two picks, not liking this one at all just based on what I'm reading.

Projected as an UDFA in the 4th?

I would have liked this pick in the 6th or 7th, but the 4th?
