Please share possible steals late in the draft that do not seem to be getting the love they deserve in mocks or rankings. I wanted to share Buster Skrine (CB Chattanooga) with everyone, but the Combine has him shooting up everyone's boards.

MY GEM OF THE DRAFT for TODAY IS: WILLIE SMITH, LOT, ECU

One who caught my eye during the NC State - ECU game was Pirate Offensive Left Tackle Willie Smith. I have found very little on him. This site gives nice write ups on most players:

To summarize the details: Is only starting to scratch the surface of his potential. Possesses an excellent frame, is a very gifted athlete and bends extremely well for the position. Needs some time to develop, but I definitely see this guy starting as a left tackle for an NFL team in a year or two.

Many mocks and lists do not have him in the top 150 players.

Combine Gross's age, Otah's knees, Schwartz becoming a guard, and Williams' suckage, and the need for depth at OT should be a second-tier priority. And to find a guy who could possibly take over the left side one day in the fourth round? Please check him out.

      Anyone know XL’s drop % rate?

      After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA

      But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.

      It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
