I know people might disagree but I could see us cutting Shi Smith. We’ve been cutting later round draft picks the last few years and we have so many WRs that I could see him potentially being cut. Kirkwood might make the team because of his experience in the system and relationship with Brady. I think David Moore has a very small chance of being cut. Who knows maybe someone gets injured which will open up the door. Special teams plays a big role in those last WR spots which is why I personally think we keep Smith, Moore and Zylstra. Maybe Kirkwood makes the team and Zylstra doesn’t but personally I think Zylstra is the better option. I don’t think Bayless makes the roster unless an injury occurs. He doesn’t offer anything to special teams.

To be fair this was a tough draft to predict. There’s also just too many factors to not only predict when someone is drafted but how successful they will be in the NFL. all it takes is for one team to pick someone different and the whole board is messed up.

I read somewhere that Brady Christensen had I think the 19th highest RAS in 20 years

Have to wonder if any of our CBs can play Safety? I could see us cutting a draft pick.

I’ve seen some concern about Brady Christensen’s arm length being a problem. Well I have good news. The stats show it doesn’t really matter. https://www.pff.com/news/does-arm-length-affect-ot-play on top of that it’s good to note that Brady graded very high and was ranked top 20 in offensive linemen over the past 20 years or so. so yes he can still be a successful NFL tackle. If history has shown us anything it’s that athleticism doesn’t always beat out skill and experience.

I have to wonder if we liked this guy from watching tape last year against Brown? I mean Brown is a great nfl player and if he can hold his own then he should be able to make it in the NFL.

I think we could have drafted him in the 6th or 7th.

Yeah but I mean how many times have we seen a offensive linemen test bad athletically and kill it in the NFL? I believe Orlando brown was horrible athletically and we see how he turned out. Only problem I see is if he can’t control his weight and gets so out of shape he can’t play or hurts himself. I also wonder if he looses weight if it will effect his play negatively?

I don’t like it. Lots of wear and tear and those negatives listed makes it seem to me like he won’t make it long in the nfl.

That’s all? I mean plenty of out of shape fat people get drafted high. It’s not hard to make a player eat right. Just have to have a good staff that will work with the guy.

I don’t understand why the nfl doesn’t have programs to help players with off field issues. I mean you invest millions of dollars in a player and you are in a company that makes billions each year. Make a babysitting program. Make these players with off field issues get counseling, mental health help and make it to where they have someone watch them and make them live in a controlled environment. It’s not like you couldn’t make them sign a contract where they would have to agree to it.

I read he had a great first step which is great. He was a top college player. Maybe didn’t get a lot of nfl sacks but lots of successful defensive linemen didn’t get lots of sacks in college. He can sit a few years and develop, it can take a few years for a defensive linemen to develop anyhow.

So guy is a mammoth of a man, hasn’t allowed a sack in 3 years in the SEC, arguably the best conference, on one of the top teams in college which is know to produce lots of NFL talent yet fell this far? What’s wrong with this guy? What am I missing? Someone has to be wrong with him to fall this far.

Another player who can play multiple positions.

So you would only take 3 shots?

They find probowl offensive linemen in 2nd-7th rounds all the time. I’m not worried.

With all the Ohio state qb bust I don’t want him. Also lots of red flags for fields.

Is slater that good or is he ranked that high simply because of his game against Young?

To be fair as crazy as this sounds just remember Carolina cut cam Newton 4 years after winning the MVP and taking Carolina to the Super Bowl. So I guess it’s possible especially considering that Lamar can’t even throw as good as cam.

Good technique can make up for physical shortcomings

The problem with Teams trading for Jackson is that you have to have your offense specifically set up for him.

Jesus Christ this guy is young. They say the human brain doesn’t develop fully until you’re 25 so there’s a lot of hope for him improving here.

Fun fact: teams will put out misinformation to the media during the draft as part of their draft strategies.

Yeah I keep hearing people say that Mond is supposed to be Dak Prescott 2.0 but I disagree. Dak was a lot better a player in college, look at his numbers they were almost twice as good as Monds in every category:

Looks like he’s lost some weight.
