If one accepts that Mixon & Jonah are staying (I think they are) and that Irv Smith is Hurst's replacement (as it now looks like), then EVERY pick is a depth piece, except possible punter.

I rated our needs thusly coming in

1. TE1 (I viewed Irv as a TE2 and Sample as TE3). (no help yet, OK with passing on Mayer/Kraft for Murphy/Turner), but Washington in Rd 3 stung, medicals or no.
2. Pass rush outside (Murphy)
3. Pass rush interior (not directly but Murphy helps some, Kancey/Benton gone)
4. CB depth/future starter (Turner)
5. RB2/RB1 if Mixon goes (Bijan/Gubbs went early, OK with passing afterwards)
6. IOL depth (the guys I liked wwre gonexwhen we picked, though Torrence was close)
7. WR speed/depth (Rd1 gone, Hyatt there in Rd2 but Turner better)
8. DT depth (Ika made sense to me Rd 3)
9. S depth (Battle)
10. Punter (always gonna be late)
11. QB2 (no way early).
---------------------

Having a night to sleep on Day 2. I like the Turner pick a LOT more. He is better in coverage than I thought (by a lot). I was in on Forbes, I am OK with his size.

Names for today:

1) TE: Kuntz, Whyle, Allen, Mallory
2) Ext rush: no need (Murphy)
3) Int Rush: Brooks, Adebewore
4) CB depth: Trice, Rush, Ringo, Phillips, Bennett (never have enough)
5) RB: Abanikanda, Johnson, McBride, Brown, Mitchell, Gonzalez
6) IOL: Wypler, Zavala, Daniels, McClendon, Gaines
7) WR: Scott, Jones, Washington, Iosivas, Bell, Bryce-Wheaton, Landers
8) NT depth: no idea (punt)
9) S depth: no need (Battle)
10) Punter: Korsak, Turk, Baringer (late or UDFA)
11) QB: get a vet
12) OT: D. Jones (draft plus weight watchers!)

4th: Wypler, Scott, Jones, Washington, Abanikanda, Johnson, Adebewore, Brooks, D. Jones, Kuntz, Zavala, Ringo, Phillips, Trice, Rush, Whyle.

I really like your list. I would add Keondre Coburn in for NT and Dante Stills for interior pass rush.

Moreno Cropper and Josh Vann as late round slot receivers and Aiden O’Connell and DTR as back up QB.

I also wouldn’t mind Deuce Vaughn late. I know, I know he’s tiny. Lol
