  1. They picked Lassiter among a pretty loaded nickel group (Sainristil, Rakestraw, Melton, Green). I would have guessed they'd opt for Rakestraw. The league seemed a bit cooler on DeJean and Kool-Aid than the internet, not sure if that's due to their recent injuries (that seem recoverable), or based on tape. When the pick was made for Fisher, Caserio looked pretty pumped on TV. Never sure if that's performative. He's a nice tackle fit for an OZ team, and a redshirt year should help him iron our his technical issues and to add some weight
  2. You're assuming they wanted Sweat there
  3. It’s depth this year with an eye towards starting 2-3 years down the road One of the draft guys on TV said that he basically doesn’t have an ACL in one of his knees. He might not make it to his second contract
  4. Lassiter is more than fine at nickel in this defense that sits in a two safety shell all day. You don’t want him at outside corner
  5. Here's the summary from Brugler's blurbs on our picks Lassiter doesn’t have elite physical traits at a position where size and speed are at a premium, but his play recognition and competitiveness are both off the charts. Although he is viewed as a nickel-only by several teams, he has starting talent that is best suited for a zone-match scheme. Fisher is a big, athletic finesse blocker who flashes power but falls off too many blocks and needs to introduce mor e control to his play style before he is ready for NFL competition. He is a developmental prospect reminiscent of Nicholas Petit-Frere (2022 third-round pick). Bullock is a fast, twitchy athlete with split-field range to overlap verticals or spin to the post, but he needs to play with improved discipline and control to cut down on the mistakes, specifically in the run game. Stover might never be a top-tier blocker, but he is solid in all phases and will earn NFL paychecks because of his coordinated athleticism to finish at the catch point and move the chains. With his defensive mentality, offensive skills and special-teams experience, he projects as an NFL role player with starting upside and valuable versatility. Hill might be without a true position in most schemes, but he can be a standout on coverage teams and provide depth as a hybrid ‘backer in subpackages. Jordan is a lightweight runner with questionable durability to secure a meaningful role at the NFL level, but he has the start/stop quickness and natural run instincts to be a change-of-pace option in the right situation. He also brings value as a kick returner. Byrd has NFL-worthy flashes, because of his length and always-revving motor, but his consistency — especially as a run defender — must improve for him to make it in the NFL. He projects as a development prospect and a likely candidate for the practice squad. Harris is an undersized tackle who can be neutralized versuslong-armed blockers, but he has the quickness and instincts to clear creases as a one -gap penetrator. He can find an NFL home as part of a rotation. Henderson has the length and movement skill that NFL offensive line coaches want to work with, but his inconsistent slide tempo and overall feel for balance might put a cap on his pro ceiling. There is some upside there for a zone-blocking scheme to develop.
  6. Look, once you're good it's tough to find instant starters in the draft after the second round. Houston probably found a starting nickel. Their other starter from the draft is Stefon Diggs. I really like the Fisher pick because it's difficult to find plus left tackle upside players outside of the first half or so of the first round (this year was an abnormally deep draft). If this was a regular tackle draft, Fisher likely goes towards the top of the second or even sneaks into the first due to the positional inflation. There's a good chance he plays tackle this year simply because the starters seem to struggle to stay healthy for every game.
  7. The RB is a zone plug and play guy. He'll push if not surpass Pierce
  8. Nice developmental high upside LB pick
  9. I love the fisher pick. Good chance he would have been something like OT4 next year and would have been a first. Now you get to develop him in the league a year early while adding playable depth I like the bullock pick in a vacuum, but I don’t love trading a 4th to move up 8 spots at the end of the third Lassiter is fine if he’s playing only nickel. This was a loaded nickel class, and Houston picked him other several others. I do wonder how they felt about DeJean and Kool-Aid as nickels, who went right before After the two DB picks, I wonder if they’re still looking for a starting safety in free agency (Simmons), or if they’d rather just develop these guys

    Where Pearsall was drafted is more than fine. He was a late first early second guy. Even with San Francisco shopping Deebo and potentially trading him today, I thought it was a weird fit for them
  11. I think they'd go Rakestraw over Sainristil. Hall Jr at #59 would be a home run
  12. There's four "first rounders" with red flags who went undrafted in Cooper DeJean, Jer'Zhan Newton, Adonai Mitchell, and Kool-Aid McKinstry. Teams might not have some or all of them on their boards at all. I wonder if Houston does? There's several centers who I don't think Houston would take, so root for those guys to go off the board early (Jackson Powers-Johnson and Zach Frazier) Here's DJ's best available 24 Cooper DeJean 25 Jer'Zhan Newton 27 Adonai Mitchell 28 Kool-Aid McKinstry 29 Edgerrin Cooper 30 Ladd McConkey 32 Ennis Rakestraw Jr 34 Zach Frazier 38 Braden Fiske 41 Payton Wilson 42 Keon Coleman 43 Junior Colson 44 Malachi Corley 45 Marshawn Kneeland The top guys who visited who are still on the board Edgerrin Cooper Ennis Trakestraw Jr Payton Wilson Marshawn Kneeland Kignsley Suamataia Javon Bullard Michael Hall Jr
  13. Diggs helps you win more this year, which appears to be a priority

    No, they should draft the elite QB prospect and have a shot to win big in the four year rookie pay scale window
  15. Final visit list, at least those that were made public, with Brugler/DJ/Tice's rankings

    Worthy seems to have been rising while Adonai has been falling this week, per the betting markets. Both could easily go tonight
