No ****ing way would I spend a top 17-ish pick on a RT when we need a LT. I don't dislike him, but not a chance I'd blow that kind of pick. Maybe I'd spend the late 1st on him if we didn't have a RT we have to pay for a couple of seasons. And no, I'm not a believer in this move captain penalty flag to LT nonsense. Fuaga is not a LT to me. I know people like to think the two are nearly equivalent these days, but I'm not in that group. More athleticism is needed at LT than RT. They also aren't as easily interchangeable as people like to believe.
No way would I spend a 2nd round pick on Jack Sawyer and I'm a Buckeyes fan. Not that he isn't a nice player, but that's way too high for him IMO. Maybe a 3rd. He just doesn't generate enough pressure for me. Solid base end that might be a Smoot type.
Can I ask what your hard-on is this year for two RBs in the draft and why one needs to come on day 2? I swear every mock from you has had the same thing. What makes you think Veach would do that?
There's a few picks in there I like. Worthy is okay. I like the Michigan guy but he's a bit shorter than Reid normally employs. Cypress is solid.
I don't hate any player, really, I just think this is grossly out of proportion to what I'd see Veach doing this offseason. A RT in the mid-1st, 2 RBs with one on day 2, a DE that doesn't get home very often, and short OG isn't likely to move the needle a whole bunch if you just read it from the outside looking in.
