Here's a look at him and Bradberry:

Nice pick.   I wonder if we can trade back up, lots of talent still left

Gotta say it Hurney and Rhule have done a great job in this draft

It’s nice having a guy (Rhule) with experience evaluating college talent calling the shots on draft day.  Give this man all the control he wants 

No kidding. We are actually drafting BPA and not reaching at all. So different from the past two years. It’s 100% obvious that Rhule’s guys are running this draft.

Naw, plenty of rough physical violent CBs. 

Go watch Amik Robertson. 

But yea, a lot of CBs are finesse soft players. 

I want my D to be nasty, full effort and vicious as baseline traits. 

Robertson would get abused by a lot of the NFC South WR's. He is a tough guy but that isn't going to be as effective at the NFL level.

Yeah ATL got our center. But a Jake Hanson pick would be cool.  Big center. 4 year starter on a very good online. Oregon did almost exclusive shotgun but I have a feeling we will see some of that from Brady.

At this point we trade back.  By round 5 we will be in solid backup territory.  Start stockpiling picks.

I had him mocked to us in the4/5th in almost every mock I did. Tanner muse has been the only big surprise imo, didn’t expect him to be gone already or Ben Bartch. Hopefully Thaddeus Moss is there in the 5th for us.

Robinson just got picked by the Cowgirls.  So Holmes, Pride and Robinson all went within 13 picks of one another in the top of round #4.

Have to respect the Panthers going all-in to address that broken defense. Very intrigued by what they are doing

Which is exactly what I suggested that they would do weeks ago! It just made too much sense! And it really should give people a certain amount of comfort that we're not in any way building this team willy nilly. There's been a lot of thought into this whole process!

The best part about these picks is that they all seem to have tested off the charts even if they had good (not great) careers. To me that means this coaching staff feels they are the missing piece. In the past we basically have had coaching staffs who had to have pretty polished guys and if they weren’t they struggled. Rhule sticking to his game plan and I like it.
