who says he will apparently struggle in pass pro?

Just about every source reviewing him says this is a weakness. One reason he got his reps inside at the senior bowl, where he did very well btw.

Your OL Day 1

 

LT - Glenn

LG - InCognito

C - Wood

RG - Miller

RT - Dawkins

 

Honestly, I love Woody and what he's done for Buffalo .. but I'd of preferred to see us take a Center in the 3rd. We led the league in rushing and interchanged all over the line .. Woody got the most miles (as Ritchie had a little time off from Miami).

Yet a scout says otherwise

 

Sources Tell Us

"I don't know if I see him as a guard or a tackle yet, but I think he can play both. I like him because I think he could upgrade our pass protection inside if we did bump him to guard, but he's athletic enough to play right tackle, too." -- AFC West scout

You get 2 long term starters. Doesnt matter does it. Then still have a 2018 1st in your pocket.

That would be great, how do you know that? How do you know who the three picks given away would have been? Just surprised they spent 5 picks for 2 guys that are unproven and they may have gotten anyway.

Still got two picks.

 

Never has a 4th.

 

So used a 3rd and 5th to come get thier RT (wouldnt have made it to Thier pick. Was going next to Car)

 

Used 3rd to get their No 2 WR. A top producing WR.

 

That is good use of 5th rounds when you have 4 of them

The most interesting thing about this pick to me is that McD apparently thinks more of our LBs than we all do.

 

Honestly Mills was probably our worst starter last year. An upgrade was needed.

 

I'm intrigued to see Ragland (slowness comments aside) and a full year of Shaq Lawson ... those guys did nothing last year .. they are like to additional #1 and #2's this year ... knock on wood. Stay healthy ... Love everything about this draft so far.

Do I understand we gave up three picks for this guy and two picks for the last guy. So 5 picks for two guys. A 2nd rnd, 2 3rd rnds and 2 5ths to get 2 guys. One near mid and the other at the end of the 2nd round. So much for the trade back, just couldn't wait to spend/waste that draft capital. Not being negative, just extremely unimpressed.

 

I can't spout the percentages off the top of my head .. but I think the staying power of 2nd round picks have more longevity than 5th round picks ... and one of the 3rds we flipped was from KC last night and I'm A-OK with their 2018 1st rounder ... still in our pocket from KC.

2018 picks can be dealt still. You know mcD has his eye on a safety[/quote)

 

Really? There were a couple really good ones available. about 4 or 5 safeties and 3 or 4 tackles rated higher than Dawkins on a few draft boards I respect.

Which is okay, but giving up 3 picks for that?

They are down 1 total pick than what they started with.

 

And have

 

One 1st round talent

Two 2nd round talents

 

And still a 2018 1st in pocket.
