I concede that maybe I dont know wtf im talking about but I like the Roush pick. A 9.94 RAS at 6'6 265 and apparently a good blocker. Kmet was a 8.94. I bet Johnson is ecstatic to have this guy. Kmet should be traded. Roush and Loveland are going to terrorize defenses. Booking it.

The defensive line is awful and all these RAS athletes didn’t accomplish jack horsefeathers until Caleb started pulling rabbits out of hats in the second half of last year. 
 

im sure Roush will be put to use by Ben and Caleb but the draft is about making the team better and the team needs defensive linemen desperately.

I don’t feel nearly as bad about losing comp picks as I did 12 hours ago.

In Perfect world we drafted our future center for the next 8 years and Roush’s RAS score translates into the NFL where we’ll have the greatest 12 personal package since Gronk and Hernandez. Wishful thinking although He was hurt by bad quarterback play much like Burden a year ago.

Smith I still can’t make sense of and none of these guys improve the team in 2026 outside of maybe Logan Jones.

Even though tight end was as much of a priority as a punter there’s some upside there in 13 personnel and or they trade Kmet to shed cap. Smith was over-drafted by 3 rounds and is just a wasted cute pick. 

Do you restructure someone's contract and then trade him?

It would make as much sense as these picks.

I questioned many of the picks last year and that turned out to be a great draft, so I'm keeping my mouth shut on this year's draft.

To a degree, although Loveland and Burden you could still make sense of as BPA.

Maybe they will address the DLine on Saturday. 

 

This is puzzling 

It’s doubtful they’ll find any day 3 talent in the trenches that will address anything.

This is usually the point where I'd make a comment about the best available DL, but, well, yeah.
