I would've much preferred to see us take Reuban Foster if we were going linebacker.

He reminds me of a Linebacker version of James Harrison. Just a beast

Would've loved to see Dalvin Cook too. Im sick of our horrible Running game

#30 to the Steelers

But with how crazy this draft has gone Im not so sure anymore. It seems tons of defensive talent has fallen. Hopefully Foster is taken before Pit picks or else they might go for him to bring some of that grit back to their defense

Yeah. They kept Watson in check and picked him off twice as well. They just gave up a ton of rushing yards because the offense went 3 and out every drive. Would've lost by 50 with an average secondary.

A lot of people said that about Taco...let's be honest, he was nothing but a pass rusher until this past year. It's still his strength, but after 4 years of Mattison...if you can't beast in run support, you just aren't a good football player. What Mattison did with that kid is unreal. His last 6 games were almost Allen/Garrett good. He was unblockable late in the year.

Engram feels like he'll be a solid WR, but I always wonder why guys who barely play TE are still listed as it.  He's going to be a WR in the pros, so saying he's a TE gives the false assumption he'll be even an adequate blocker.

So apparently sexual assault claims don't block you from being a first-rounder.  Good example, you POS Raiders.  Look for Joe Mixon to be off the board in 2 picks.
