Unless we take a punter or a TE they are all reserves, pretty much.
QB: Burrow
WR: Chase, Higgins, Boyd
LT: Brown
LG: Volson
C: Karras
RG: Cappa
DE: Hendrickson, Hubbard
DT: Reader, Hill
LB: Wilson, Pratt
CB: Chido, CTB, Hilton
S: Scott, Hill
You could put forth RB. The only 2 RBs thatcwere starter/1st round worthy were gone long before #28. And Charbonnet was gone before #60. And Mixon IS still under contract. And RB is not a prime position (QB, WR, OT, DE, CB).
We got two ELITE athletes that we can develop to hopefully take over for higher priced guys heading to their third contacts. Contenders don't have a lot of holes.
At CB, we'd have loved to had Forbes or Banks, but they were gone. Porter had issues (Pitt) and is a press guy, not zone. We took a CB 2nd round.
Ditto at RT. Skoronski, Wright, Johnson, & B. Jones all gone in Rd 1. Bergeron long gone & Mauch also. D. Jines sliding for a reason. Still out there.
IOL could use more depth. Not a prime position. None taken in Rd 1. Mauch, Avila, Torrence, Tippman, Schmitz gone by #60. Avila starts over Volson, but he was top 2nd. We ain't trading up 25 spits for him too expensive. Torrence would have to switch sides. Not sure Schmitz/Tippman beat out Karras year one.
No 1st round worthy Ss. Only one taken so far. Branch. You wanna trade UP for him? Not a premium position. .
TE is not a premium spot. Especially under ZT. I think we'll take one Rd 3 or 4.
