I doubt he's there at 9, but we have to take him if he is there. Put him next to Geno and let them tear up the inside of any Oline.I think Solomom will last until the 9th; as he is the 3rd-4th highest DE prospect. Garrett (would love him) and Allen (I'm not a fan) should go earlier.

I think grabbing Kiel in the 7th would be a fantastic move and definitely would mean we traded or are going to trade McCarron.
Trading AJ prior to the draft makes a lot of sense. I went with Kiel because he brings something different

Gennessy seems like a pretty big reach in the 2nd, and with the struggles of Joeckel and Og transitioning to the NFL, I'm wary about A&M tackles. Beckwith is a big upgrade over Maualuga in the LB corps. Myrick is a good prospect, and between Dre hitting FA and Pacman's off field stupidity, we will likely need another CB. Pumphrey can hopefully handle some of the load if Giovanni is slow rounding back into form.
Fair point on Gennessy; however, he went JuCo before coming to A&M. Maybe he learned there.
