Yup... guilty as charged. Wrestled with it... especially Hooker. But BPA won out...

If Allen was there I take him, but he was not. But Solomon, who I see as more Allen-like than true Edge, unexpectedly was.

I simply could not resist.

It is a ridiculous pick. With a #2 and a #3 last year used on DEs...you use both #1 and #12 on DEs?

Browns took Bosa, Leonard Floyd and Sterling Shepherd last year .... check last years draft

So what are you doing with our current semi-promising edge guys, Tour.

Replacing them with better ones...

If they grow, continue to develop, then they'll make great trade capital.

Barring injury I don't see anyone on the roster that could keep Garrett-Thomas from being our starters. Do you?

From what I've read Solomon Thomas will be a 3 tech in the NFL not an edge guy

Too light to live inside as a steady diet at this point IMO. In our base I see him as a 5 or 7 tech opposite Myles' 7/9 tech, but dropping inside to the 3 in sub packages.

Picks should reflect that NMopar now has the #32 in round 1 due to the trade from last night [NE gets Cooks and NO's 2017 rd4#118, NO gets NE's 2017 round1 and round 3#103]

Don't Carolina have Patriots 2nd rounder too ?

I see it ... but is it confirmed?

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Panthers have traded defensive end Kony Ealy to the Patriots along with a third-round pick, and will get New England’s second-round pick in return.

EDIT: Also just saw this...

The good news for the Patriots is that they will be getting back the fourth-round pick that the NFL previously stripped as part of the #DeflateGate punishment. The bad news is that pick No. 132 will be restored only because the fourth-round pick that the Patriots are picking up from the Saints as part of the Brandin Cooks trade will be taken by the league.

Sooner or later were going to have to cut off updates. From here on I suggest once a round starts at least that round is frozen... and if folks are really thinking ahead that might not be enough.

As if that wasn't confusing enough, the saints could actually contact any team in the 4th interested in moving up.. because the NFL said they're going to take whichever one's higher, not a specific pick

Well, he was good enough that I was half-anticipating taking him at #12 until Thomas and Hooker and Foster were all there.

Gipper did something really helpful last year where he would put up the best available from round 3 onwards.....

The Seahawks and Chiefs both needed CB help but with only 2 off the board so far, as well as the depth of the position this year, the decided to beef up their front 7s. I was going to go OL for the Seahawks but with the top tackles off the board and their forays into FA, I went with the Brantley out of Florida. The Chiefs would've taken Brantley to help replace Poe but with him off the board and no other DT/NT types ranking high enough, decided to draft the (hopeful) successor to Derrick Johnson at the ILB spot in Zach Cunningham.
