Love every pick. But we needed to trade back and add more picks to get an A in my eyes.

Knight was my least favorite pick but our front office puts immense weight on character and really loves this guy and appears to want him to be a team leader.

I wrote him off and didn't even look in to him for being an older prospect. His highlights gave me faster Burfict vibes. And we haven't drafted LB since 2020 when Al was here and we went 3/3 drafting NFL caliber LBs who contributed. So we were past due adding talent at LB. If it's the home run Al thinks it is we are Golden

I have 0 idea why folks are downgrading the Knight pick because he's 25. We've got him for 4-years and we're not in the middle of a long rebuild. If he's too old at 29 in 4-years let him walk and get another one. I'm worried about how he'll do over the next couple years, not the next decade.

As to the draft the only fine favs on it are Stewart and Fairchild. But I dig that everyone appears to be of high quality and only 1 (Rivers) comes with injury concerns.

I'll give it a B-
