Great job, y'all.
I like the idea of moving back if our top targets (say, top 3) are gone. And if you'd ended up with that haul as recently as last month (i.e., move back, add a second-rounder and JPJ), it would have looked INSANELY good. I always find that's important to keep in mind. These guys' stocks are going up and down without playing in any games, as dictated by the draft hype machine. So if you look at it like that our haul here is impressive.
My favorite pick is actually Christian Jones. For one I think he'll make a fine pro. But it's also because Rosengarten and Fisher bug me as an idea and I hope to stay away from them: I don't want to settle for the second-best OT off any team. I'm tired of the little brother instinct. Let's take a shot at some upside. Let's start with someone who's at least the best lineman on his own team, and Jones is clearly that.
If I had to make one change I'd swap out Sinnott for T'Vondre Sweat. Kinda the same logic as above. If you'd told me we could get Sweat at #80 last month, I would've jumped on it like a fat kid on candy (like T'Vondre Sweat on candy?). Yes he's fighting a DWI now- but his game's the same. He's still by far the best NT in a draft class that lacks any depth, and we still have that need. I'd just trust in our locker room to handle the risk and, together with Jenkins, add a player who'd solidify our DI for years.
Great draft
