I’m also not 100% sure I like Smith. He has good upside but it’s going to take 2 years I bet before he contributes. But I get it.
Good draft though. It’s exciting to see this kind of draft finally happen.
I liked Spencer Brown the best to learn behind Reiff and Jonah but D'Ante to me is even more pro ready.
He was my fall back. Might be my favorite pick of the Draft, him and Hill that late.

Like:
- Jamar Chase will likely be a star
- Nabbing a couple extra 4th rounders was nice
- We addressed both lines
- Loved getting the best K in the draft
Dislike:
- Passing on Sewell, who was clearly the best line prospect in this draft
- Trading back did burn us a bit, IMO
- The o-line depth of this draft seems like it was overrated, and we wound up with pretty mediocre prospects with some serious concerns
If you're going to pass on Sewell, we needed to nail that 2nd round lineman, and I don't think we did.
Could've had Sewell + Marshall, which would've been amazing.
If you could of told me we could of got both D'Ante Smith and Trey Hill that late I wouldn't of believed you.
If anything the depth of this draft was underrated for OL. Trey Smith going to the Chiefs in the 6th round?
Alaric Jackson lasting into the 7th? Crazy to me, these are quality OL to say the least.

Bet Carman starts at RG and opens up major holes for Mixon as a rookie. Also a great pass protector as he had to play OT
against top talent in college like Chase Young and more than held his own. Don't understand the Carman hate AT ALL.
