I don’t dislike any of the picks they made. I was surprised by the battle pick as I thought safety wasn’t a high priority. But you can’t enough pass rushers and secondary depth.

I was surprised that they didn’t draft a tight end or oline, especially on the interior. And spare me yet another lecture about how unimportant the te position is in the offense. With most of the tight ends we’ve had they should be unimportant. I bet a Travis kelce type player would change the dynamic but I digress.

I wonder if tycen anderson might eventually move to linebacker with his size and the depth we have at those positions

Maybe Anderson can play TE? :) just playin. I was surprised we didn’t pick a TE, I was disappointed we didn’t address both lines more. I’m sure the defensive players we got can help the defense more resulting in coverage sacks but I can’t believe we didn’t do more with the lines. Just because the belief was this draft was shallow at the OL position does not mean you can’t pick some. Hell I saw players ranked 2nd at their position go undrafted, while players thought to be UDFA’s getting selected in early rounds. You still have to try. Everyone thought the same when Carmen and Vols was drafted and they turned out ok. We are still 2 he’ll maybe only 1 injury away from the Oline being a disaster again.

I actually like the players we got, just surprised with direction we went with the positions. As soon as the AFCC game ended I told myself, wish we could just use every draft pick on O & D line to try to fix this mess once and for all. I hope the Oline gels and stays healthy or the end result will be the same. It all starts and ends in the trenches.

Side note: I am glad we DIDN'T draft the TE Washington. I just don’t think he’s going to be a good pro at all. Now that he’s with Pitt he will probably be the next Kelce/Gronk superstar TE. Ffs I hate that team.
