I still have concerns that JC Latham is going to be Andre Smith 2.0, though I guess that is more acceptable at 18 overall than, what was it, the 6th overall pick we got Smith with? Anyways, we have Trent Brown so maybe between them they can put together an entire year of starts at right tackle.
Some will argue that rd 2 is where I should have gone skill player and there were some available but I committed to the idea of having depth and building a future on the lines. We have Burrow for the next 5 years for sure. Build your lines, then the defense, THEN worry about skill positions.
I feel like I addressed the nose tackle issue here fairly well. Maason Smith is big (315 lbs). Kristian Boyd is slightly bigger (317 lbs). And Favien Lovett is even slightly bigger than that (318 lbs) -- but he is 24 so that may be a knock against him.
No there isn't a TE or Tee Higgins replacement at WR (though Johnny Wilson is taller than Tee at least). There isn't some exciting RB to add to our room however for that I would look at players who get cut in August for. It is a draft I would feel good about and I believe that we could win a Super Bowl this year with, but also in future years with.
