But:

Cosmi - Thuney - Meinerz/Green - Green/Meinerz - Niang

That’s a great OL for 2022-2025.

A lot of youth, but agree it would be a solid foundation for years to come. Green is a weird prospect because he declared late. A lot of people (media) haven’t fully evaluated him yet. His size is a slight negative, but his motor, athleticism, and intelligence are a huge plus. I think he will carve out a solid role in the NFL as a starter.

Yea the idea would be to have stop gaps in front of all of the rookies (at least going into camp) with the hope that they’ll all be ready to start by 2022.

For those 4 years, you could possibly get solid to elite OL play with everybody but Thuney on rookie deals. This would allow you to spend money on weapons and defense.

A vent cover pops out near the stage.

[Rain Man]

A face appears inside the vent.

"Is this Nakatomi Plaza?", he asks.

[Rain Man]

"It's not? Well, yippee-ki-yay, m***********s."

He pulls himself back into the vent, then stops.

"Oh, and the Los Angeles Rams select Wyatt Hubert, DE, Kansas State. Welcome to the party, pal."

Green Bay Packers Select: Dan Moore Jr, OT, Texas A&M

[RunKC]

Just now seeing this. Only thing I’ll say is if the Jets pass on Zach Wilson for Kyle Pitts then Jets fans will have the guillotine ready for Joe Douglas in Times Square.

[Rain Man]

An athletic young man from the 1890s enters the stage, wearing his vintage Yale football jersey.

[Rain Man]

He nods toward the audience.

"My name is Pudge Heffelfinger. I started playing football at a young age," he says. "I was born in Minneapolis, and when I was in high school I would suit up for the University of Minnesota."

[Rain Man]

"Statistically, the best team I ever played on was the 1888 Yale football team. We went 13-0 and outscored our opponents 698 to 0 on the season. But I personally thought our 1891 team was the best team I ever played on. We went 13-0, outscored our opponents 488-0, and we were named the national champions. Here's a picture of the team. I'm the guy at top right."

[Rain Man]

"But you may know me best for another thing. You see, I was kind of the guy who started this whole thing. I am the first professional football player ever. I was paid $500 by the Allegheny Athletic Association to play in a game against this Pittsburgh Athletic Club. Here's the receipt. This is the equivalent of about $15,000 today for one game."

[Rain Man]

"So I'm here today to announce the pick of another young man who, if he applies himself, might one day also get paid $15,000 for one game. Good luck to you."

He looks at the paper.

"The Minnesota Vikings select Osa Odighizuwa, DE, UCLA."

[Rain Man]

Pudge dispatches a Western Union telegram to the next drafter on the list to let him know he's on the clock.

The Kansas City Chiefs select Jamar Johnson, S, Indiana

I know, I know. “WTF are you doing staylor? No edge rusher?”

I’m sorry guys, but the Chiefs are getting value in every single round here while filling other positions of need (for now and the future), but it just so happens that the stars haven’t aligned for an edge rusher just yet.

There are still a handful of guys I like, and if this were a real draft, I’d probably be using my 2 5ths to trade up and get one. But when you’re picking at the bottom of every round, you absolutely have to get value as much as you can.

McGrone and Johnson are terrific values in the 4th. I have both of those guys inside my top 100, so I’d be crazy to pass them up at the bottom of the 4th.

There are also a few free agents left, and I’m pretty confident that we end up with 1. If I were the GM, I’d be signing somebody like Ingram immediately after the draft.

I personally like the pick (and logic).

This will be a hot take for some... but Clark, Taco, Danna, and Ward spelled with Chris Jones playing 30-50% of his snaps at end (as rumored thanks to the Jarran Reed signing) is a servicable unit without any additions. Sure, it would be great to upgrade now with the recognition that we probably lose Clark and Reed in 2022... But it's not a must. I'd also argue that any edge drafted after the 2nd probably doesn't provide an immediate impact in 2021 in contrast with Taco, Danna, and Ward. If we don't get one early, hold off until next year (no issue still taking a late flyer again like Danna).

Clark-Reed-Nnadi/Saunders-Jones (when Jones is split wide) is probably in the top half if not top third of starting units.
