Personally I think Thomas is a plain bust at this point. I always thought the hype machine for him was a little out of control.

The production and draft positions for that line do not match.  Some wasted picks for sure.

Likewise.  Never understood it.   They rarely played him inside last year.  I think of given the chance, he may be a solid player inside

With the 2nd pick of the TSW Mock Draft, the San Francisco 49ers select Nick Bosa, Edge, Ohio St. 

 

The Jets are on the clock

FWIW, there was a guy on Sirius NFL Radio the other day who covers the 49ers and he was convinced that they would take Williams.

I looked at 10 mocks. 7 of them had them taking Bosa.  He’s considered the best taken in the draft.  

 

He’s the safest pick and locks them up on the edges for years

I don't disagree, Virg. I'd take him, as well. Just passing along that tidbit.

Good pick but I get left with one question (not necessarily to you, but to those who predict Bosa to the 9ers.) 

 

Ford got traded (I thought at least) because he didn't fit the new 4-3.

 

Bosa is prototypical 4-3 end.

 

What defense does SF run, and how do these two things match up?

4-3

 Bosa plays DE.  Imo, ford plays DE as well.

 

I believe he got traded because  he was too expensive

Gotcha.. I couldn't remember if his trade was a product of the switch, or just another business move. Seems weird that the Chiefs off loaded 22 sacks so willingly...

At last...

In order to fight fire with Fire, the New Jersey football Jets, with the third overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft, take their own Josh Allen DE Kentucky.  The Raiders of Oakland or Vegas or...somewhere and @Joe in Winslow are on the clock.

 

the jests sorely need someone who can put heat on the QB, especially his namesake, and they (we) believe Allen is the best edge pass rusher in the draft. Yeah QWill is tempting, but Allen is the bigger need and an ideal 3-4 fit.

This is the right pick for them - both value and need.

Yeah, it’ll be interesting to see how bad their D is next year.  Hopefully they take a nosedive

We're the raiders. Nothing we ever do makes sense. Our owner is Patrick starfish from SpongeBob. But even WE couldn't screw this one up. We take Ed Oliver.

I would say Williams is the bigger "can't-miss" DT, but Oliver is good nonetheless.

Options considered:

QB:  Winston may not be the long-term solution but will give him a year under Arians.

DL:  Williams is also good value but the Bucs still have McCoy.

LB:  Need to replace Alexander with a true playmaker.

So, with those thoughts I see Williams slightly ahead of White but not enough to avoid the need pick.

With the 5th overall pick, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Devin White, LB LSU.  The Giants @BuffaloHokie13  are on the clock.
