1st Round: Tyler Warren TE Penn State - Nolen was there, same with the Safeties and the Ends but I went with the BPA who somehow
fell who I don't think will fall this far. Warren would instantly add an element to our Offense we haven't had, great pass and run blocker
while being able to play TE, H-Back, Fullback and WR if needed. With Erick All's injury, upgrades the Offense with an immediate impact
starter while it doesn't hurt Gesicki who is pretty much a WR anyways.

2nd Round (trade back to 53) adds a 3rd and 4th rounder: Landon Jackson EDGE Arkansas - Athletic freak that can rush the passer
opposite of Trey, great size to put our pass rush in another dimension and also a future Trey replacement.

3rd Round: Marcus Mbow IOL Purdue - Solidifies the interior with a much better Guard, steal in the 3rd. A+ pick here.

3rd Round: Ty Robinson DT Nebraska - Can rush the passer, stop the run, great character and we met with him. No brainer in the 3rd.

4th Round: Jonas Sanker Safety Virginia - Bates replacement finally for FS next to Jordan Battle. Cut Stone to free up money for more 
Defensive talent or OL help like Risner. Sanker has the range and instincts to be a stud for us for years to come.

4th Round: Danny Stutsman LB Oklahoma - Steal to play Viper LB for us, great tackler, can cover and rush the passer.

5th Nohl Williams CB California - Too talented of a Corner to pass up on. A+ pick in the 5th.

6th Round (trade up) Lequint Allen RB Syracuse - One of the best pass protecting RB's in this draft that can help Chase Brown carry the
load but can take it to the house and is a good pass catcher as well.

I geek out and get excited about adding a weapon like Warren in round 1, but defense and more OL protection for Burrow should be a priority this year.
