Drew Sanders at 39 if he is there.

I think we might take more than one LSU players in this draft. It's just falling together that way a lot in the sims anyway. Don't forget the Terrace Marshall Jr. connection. B.J OLB, Roy DE, and Boutte should see the field.

Here I did a ton of trades because the draft was not going well. Downs boosts our weak WR corps. Williams can come in and start at CB. Then I started moving down so that I didn't overdraft Nick Herbig. I like Nick to be our OLB, but at the right draft price. Next was Brooks who is a developmental guy who might be able to play DE.... maybe. The rest is depth.

B.J to OLB. Turner starts until Jackson returns in week 3 or so. Karl Brooks will need to bulk up some, learn, and then he will play DE.

Jackson will not be ready to start the 2023 season imo. We need a CB who can take place until he is ready to play in October imo, so I took Kelly. I do not trust Henderson in a major role in the secondary.

By taking Mayer here we all but ensure that we'll have a top TE on the field throughout the season. If Hayden does down, we still have Mayer, and that is critical for a rookie QB. The TE is his safety net in many ways. Perry is much needed talent added to a worrisome WR corps. Roy to DE. Nick to OLB.

Simpson to OLB, Roy to DE.

The two headed monster returns, and just in time to help our rookie QB. Mazi Smith goes to NT, and Brown movies out to DE.

Calijah to DE. Cox to OLB. The rest is obvious.

Why Kuntz? Think about this for a second. I think the Panthers are going to throw to Hayden Hurst so many times that's he's going to get beaten all to hell. He might end up being most of our offense, and he's going to be 30. This dude is in for a beating imo. Kuntz can sit for a while and learn and hit the weight room, and when Hayden inevitably goes down we don't send in Ian, we have Kuntz.

We can't fix everything. If we go offense then the defense is short changed. If we go defense, then the offense might be spooky bad. We've lost CMC and DJ, and the free agents we brought in are not equivalent to our losses by any stretch of the imagination. We're basically the weakest offensive team weapon wise in the the NFCS and it's not even close. I had to take Zay here. If a WR slips down we have to take them. Fitt is not bringing in a good #1 WR unless a miracle happens. The rest of the draft is a scramble to get the budget version of what we need on defense.

The monstrosity is constructed. Clearly we won't have all these picks but that is the simulators fault. Mazi will play NT. Drew to OLB. Gibbs gives us a two headed monster like the old days. Henley to back up Shaq. Mims for depth. Garner in case there is injury trouble at CB (there will be.)

Had they demanded Burns instead of DJ I think we'd be picking 9th. Fitt is not trading that dude. j/k
