Not exciting but if you think about it, it's the sensical pick.

1. Covers the biggest hole on our team 

2. Chance of finding a competent day 1 starter at cb after the first round was not very good.

3. Get our choice of the top player at the position rather than whatever is leftover.

4. Our 2nd biggest need, tackle, has a ton of depth in this draft and we had just missed out on the 1 clear elite LT prospect with question marks about Slater being a better fit at guard. Much more likely we find a starter in the 2nd round and consider switching Moton to LT.

5. With Denver taking a cb and Dallas with a huge need at cb, if we really honed in on Horn, trading back probably wasn't going to work (not to mention, given how long we took to make the pick, I bet we tried but the offers were paltry).

I'd be okay with it if Fields was taken already and was gone.  But this is very underwhelming.  In the long run it'll likely be worthwhile since our CB depth is thin and our 2 best corners have 1 year contracts left, but it's hard to get excited about it right now.

Yea that is what gets me. This FO must really believe in Sam Darnold... im going to be pissed if feilds turns into a great qb and we passed on him for sam darnold. 

Darnold was viewed as an elite prospect for a reason and I'd imagine he's viewed at below Zach Wilson and Lawrence, but above the others.

I'll stick with them until they start really screwing up but can't assume anything right now.  Gonna be a shut down defense.

+Fox DE/DT, Perryman OLB, Reddick DE/LB, Horn CB, Bouye CB.  This defense is stacked and the offense is needing some OLs and maybe a playmaker.  We've got 7 more picks.

CB is very thin this draft, offensive line is very deep

I would have preferred Slater but obviously they believe that the 2nd round talent is up to par

If it wasn't LT, I would be completely fine with it.   If it wasn't a gaping hole on this team for the last like almost 10 years I wouldn't mind.   I mean here we are, we just have to hope this guy is a beast but Darnold may not make it a season.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
