Problem is I don’t think this EDGE class has anyone top-15 worthy.  The higher touted guys have been banged up and underperforming. Makes me hope we can crank out some wins and develop our young guys a bit. If you put this edge group with last few years, I don’t think any touch Verse/Latu/Turner as prospects.

They kind of fall into that Chop Robinson/Will McDonald type tier. None of the guys are that well rounded and none are real pass disrupters. 

if we don’t go QB, IDL or DB may be our best bet in considering the talent at the top of this class.

There's a lot of decent edge players in this draft but none of them really stand out as being worthy of a top 5 pick thus far. 

There's no Myles Garrett/Nick Bosa/Aiden Hutchinson in this draft seemingly. 

I dont think Id want an edge in the 1st unless we traded down or something. Or some player just explodes before the college season ends. 

Kyle Kennard DE from South Carolina is cooking this year. Prime target with our 2nd rounder from the Rams.

Yeah, I think people sometimes get caught up looking at just prospects who they deem as elite. Just like every draft there will end up being good players who didn't project as elite prospects and the smart teams will find them. In other words, I don't like our chances. LOL

Finding the guys in that good tier that just need a bit of tapping into is key. 

No matter the position, we haven’t been able to land the Tuli, Brents, Byron Young, Kobie Turner, T Stevenson’s of the world. We keep just missing in that and zeroing in on certain types at that lovely WR spot.

That BC kid Donavan Ez-something is another in that mold who could be blooming.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland is a Hokie I'm interested in seeing hopefully in the senior bowl and underwear Olympics. He has had a knack getting to the QB. Mid to late round guy. He's gonna need at least 1-2 years development to really be in on most downs. Never going to be that run stuffer and tackles will always be able to run him over when teams run downhill. Little different than barno, who never will have the anchor to be more than a pass rush specialist or special teams guy. Barno has freakish length and speed but no anchor. Powell has better anchor, more compact, and isn't 100% a liability in the run

We need to get away from drafting WRs in the 2nd round in particular. none of them have worked with the exception of Musin Muhammad. Draft fuging defense. EDGE, LB, CB, DT. Have at it.

Feel we should go D.  So an edge player. 

is QB the biggest need? Sure.  But we have been so horrific while fixated on that for a half decade… I would focus on just building a functional team for a year or so.  No draft picks assets to QB.  Pay a vet.  

 

Not a great class at DE/Edge. BPA, even if that means passing on an edge rusher in the top 5.

Only rooms you can feel decent about are offensive line, WR and RB. 
 

Outside of those areas you gotta go BPA.  Wouldn’t even hate a LT or a WR. 
 

Defense needs a lot of assistance just to reach the point of below average in the NFL. This group is pretty historically bad.

There is some good pass rushers in this class but nobody worth taking top 5 maybe even top 10. I have been saying that..... but we can definitely fix the position later in the draft tho. It's a lot of guys I like in this draft on the D line.

I think our first pick has to be a player thats gonna make the biggest impact and that's at any position on this team including QB.

      Best to see Icky in the position we drafted him in to see if he continues making progress. All signs point to Canales/Morgan staying on board and so decisions on whether to move him elsewhere on the line will probably be done during the offseason. Personally, I'm more concerned about a more long-term answer at safety and Moton's spot. Love the guy but he's a FA after 2026 and he'll be 32 by then. Kinda has that sign of having to let a player walk one year too early.

      All I am saying is IMO if we were going to rework or extend his deal I think it would have happened by now.   Just feels like they are going to bite the bullet and let it run its course

      I mean me speaking honestly per normal- RT is not even on my radar for needing fixing....it sorta should be, but I feel its around 20s in "hey this need attention". Motown could have another 5 years of solid play leftd in his body and mind. I know something needs to done with his contract, its had money pushed back into the late years like three times now. He got like a 38 million cap number cause rhule, frittterererer and this past season Dan deferred money.  I think he's been "healthy" for most of his career and seems to work hard at being able to play. He's a good player to have on the team. I got no idea how this plays out.   We need to have friendly bet about Christs next contract- I say he gets 8million per and 40% guaranteed. If he gets below that, you are the true kungfu master- deal?
