I mean, considering the stupid strategy they did generally draft good players.

1. Mason Graham 2. Jalon Walker 3. Tyler Warren

You spelled it wrong; it's PEZ, not PED.

A damn shame. I love him as a player.

I agree. We need to find a way to get him in the 2nd.

Thomas Davis wasn't a hybrid in the NFL, though. After his rookie season they basically just put him at OLB and that's where he stayed. Had they tried to turn him into some mythical position that doesn't exist he may have been a bust, too.

Having said all of that, it's a damn shame Mike Green has the off-field concerns because he would be a slam dunk choice at #8, IMO.

My order of (realistic) preference at #8: 1. Mason Graham 2. Jalon Walker 3. Jihaad Campbell 4. Tyler Warren 5. Mykel Williams There's an outside chance that Graham falls to us, but it's unlikely. I hope we don't have it in our heads to just take an EDGE no matter what because if Graham doesn't fall and for some reason Walker isn't there the BPA isn't going to be one of the other edge rushers. I'd much rather add Jihaad Campbell and get that stud ILB we've been lacking or even just go offense with Warren than reach for Mykel, Pierce or Stewart at #8. Even if we trade down to around the 12-15 range I feel like Campbell or Warren (or even one of the safeties) would be the better pick if Walker goes off the board. There's plenty of depth at EDGE in this class; absolutely no reason to box ourselves in to taking one in the 1st if the value isn't there

I hate that 2nd round pick.

This might be my favorite realistic mock draft I've done...

I feel like Carter is a safer pick than most players in the top-10 just because he can play off-ball linebacker at a high level, even if he doesn't pan out as an edge rusher.

Yes. Whether I'd actually take the deal depends on what we'd have to give up, but I think we have to call in that scenario.

I just hope they know how to use him properly. If they try to make him an off-ball linebacker that blitzes sometimes it'll be a waste, IMO. He needs to play EDGE, not linebacker.

Very little reason to have too much confidence in Legette, IMO. He cares more about catching rodents than he does catching footballs. Another player who will probably make a fortune as a podcast host/personality after they flunk out of the league.
