Ingram, Brockers. Hell, even Mercilus.

I honestly can't fault them for addressing our biggest need and selecting one of the very few individuals on the planet big enough & strong enough to play NT in the NFL.
Ingram would have been okay but outside of that who? DeCastro? He's just a Guard and they all slid for a reason. Brockers? Great. Another DE which is much, much less important than NT in a 3-4. |

IMO, Brockers has a very high upside and could have very well been the pick.

Same here. I know you said no trades, but Tannehill is going to be on my watch list. I hope sitting in spot #11... which is cheaper... is/was not a factor in our decision not to move up. I don't want to become the Royals and be penny pinchers. I also am going to keep an eye on Chapman, and who winds up being the better NT over the long haul. Dude from Washington too. But for now I am happy we addressed our 2nd biggest need.

Nobody except Tannehill was going to make me exactly giddy.
I would have been content and understanding if they had taken Brockers, Ingram, Mercilus, or even DeCastro. I wouldn't have been pissed. Just would have taken my lumps and moved onto the later rounds. Trade down would have been optimal, obviously. I would have been curious to see those two offers Pioli got from other teams. |

Cox would have to make the same adjustment as Glenn Dorsey did. Waste of a talent.

IF I knew DeCastro would fall so far down, I WOULD have traded down. BUT, that's BS, because I had to grab POE.
POE SHOULD have gone to the Ravens.

Yeah Cox was no good for us.
I just feel that with our pick, there wasn't another guy that would or could have the impact that Poe could bring. |
