Asshole

Yeah, when they were talking about the WRs they'd take for the Chiefs I 'bout said "The guy I would take for the Chiefs will NOT make it to the Chiefs because I'm taking him w/ TB..."

Donovan Smith is really on a 1-year deal and Whirfs had some injury issues. Ideally I'd have found a high ceiling interior lineman here but really, Walker has more than enough power to move inside to G at least temporarily. He plays with his pads a tick high but that's because he's just a very large man. 6'6" is conventionally pretty damn tall for a G but we're seeing more and more tall Gs in the game.

There were two guys, maybe 3, on the board right now that I see as genuine 3rd round caliber players and Walker was just the best fit for the Bucs.

I haven't had too many tough choices yet to make and ultimately this one wasn't too hard either. Felt like this was an obvious pick (and really one that I felt like GB should've made there).

Bengals keep adding OL.

I like that pick.

I really like him and couldn't pass it up since I don't pick for a bit. I regret not taking a WR at all but here we are.

He’s a guy that I’d be okay with them grabbing if they took 2 DEs in the draft.

One of the reasons I hammered so hard against taking a LB in round 1. It just limits your ability to get all the positions you need to address checked off the box.

Without a trade down to acquire more picks, if you go LB in rounds 1-4, you're only drafting 3 from the prime DL, DB, WR group. And it gets really hard to double up on the DL.

I know you're high on Lloyd and see him being a force as a blitzer, a la Devin White. It just handcuffs what you can do as the Chiefs sans trade downs for more picks at critical spots.

:bravo:

The Pittsburgh Steelers select Erik Ezukanma, WR, Texas Tech

I really needed a LT here, but Rasheed Walker was the last guy I felt could potentially step in at that position this season... Thus I'm punting on that as a draft need as I waited to long. I really didn't want to take a QB for the Steelers but couldn't pass up Coral in the late 2nd. I genuinely think the Steelers focus on rebuilding their OL early in the draft this year and then draft QB next year. Their FA strategy has only reinforced this.

I think the Steelers will focus on finding a slot WR in the draft to replace JuJu. EZ isn't that player... But I think he's got too much upside to pass up. The Steelers will sort it out in camo to get him, Claypool, and DJ on the field together.

There goes the WR I was talking about.
