Honestly, I see Ruiz being the long term answer at center with pro bowl nods as well. But I am more excited about Trautman. He should help make the game much more exciting with Payton using him to the maximum of his abilities. Either way, I think we nailed this draft. Fewer quality players will have a chance to make this stacked roster and we picked players that we needed to fill a role.

Rugs,

Your thoughts on the linebacker from Wisconsin? Some scouts gave him a 1st round grade leading up to the 2020 draft.

Another ex-QB!

He's an impact player being moved to a new position. Now we have the coaching for our rookies and I believe from looking at his film and from what I've read that it's possible he's the best of our draft picks in the long run. Nonetheless, I believe that all three of our picks are important to the future of our program and will all play better than for the round that they were picked in. Payton doesn't let players he covets keep sliding past him. He throws draft picks away like poker discards to move up to get what he wants.
