They are killing it so far in my opinion.

Really? That was quick. Swift was just being rumored as being made available for trade.

I am conflicted on the draft so far. I love the players value they drafted. But I’m not confident 4-7 can fix all the offensive holes. Clearly they feel good about RT and Trayveon Williams & Chris Evans. Can’t imagine they don’t draft a TE

I thought we’d value Darnell’s size there and i thought that’s really all we’d want a TE to do after blocking. Just be hard to tackle. I’m assuming that’s what we want

Bengal Dude mentioned it earlier but it may not have been Washington's skillset that disqualified him for Cincinnati. James Rapien mentioned that Cincinnati was "never in on" Darnell. It makes me wonder if we were one of the teams that medically disqualified him. Here is the link to Rapien discussing it. 

It is pure speculation on my part as maybe they also didn't like his skillset. It is hard to know.

Another short QB.

I still can't believe Tucker went ahead of him.

So Stafford probably retires in a year or two. Insert Bennett and get 1-2 years out of him before he has to retire. Bold strategy. 

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I'd have been happy with Wypler or Scott in the 3rd.

Wypler seems strange with Karras,,butit wouod allow us to have Kareas be OG3 instead of Scharping since Wypler could play C well. He wyped Cartet's butt in the BCS.

Personally I love that name.   there is a whole clan of To'o To'os here in coastal carolina--great family.   Though their name is properly pronounced toe-ah, toe-ah....most of the younger ones have just given up and to by "tootoo."

I want Will Mallory with this pick

That's what they said on NFLN.  Have not seen what the compensation was.  But with the Lions taking Gibbs in the 1st wasn't surprising.

Agree.  4 defensive players incl. 3 from UGA defense at great values when they picked them and add Swift.  They are winning the draft so far.

[RunKijanaRun]

I would have liked DeAndre Swift. Probably would have cost us a 4th.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Mallory cannot block, but he is a very good receiver. Kincaid light.

They are killing it this offseason.

Elmer Fudd Gantry and Claude Henry Smoot :)

How the hell does a guy named Stetson not go to the Cowboys by default?

Sometimes getting a guy later than expected isn’t “value.”

Every Georgia Bulldog other than Broderick Jones has slid. Character concerns and and name value inflation.

Every NFL GM had chances to take those guys and passed. 2 or 3 times in some cases.
