Not upset with a single one of our picks so far. After a huge FA this all feels like the Bizarro world...

Man, Gruden/Mayock really love Clemson. I'm convinced that they'll draft Lawrence next season.

Really wanting a good OT. We need to keep Burrow upright. Not 2nd guessing Zac tho because he seems to be killing it.

I hope your right. Zac had to have a plan and I was disappointed in his use last year. I don't want this team sliding into the old Marvin way of drafting good players and letting them sit a year or two with little utilization.

But let's not think about that. We just got ADG in the 4th freaking round!

It's not so much the picks involved.  Th big thing is how much money he will want.

Great draft, we need some depth at Oline, but we are thin at DE.

Missed out on a pass rusher that can help, but we just didn't have enough picks.

SO excited about our defense right now. Added 2 dynamite playmakers that are smart and explosive. Combine that with the free agent additions and we're going be a different defensive ball club this year!

Now if we can get a good interior OLineman, we'll be able to compete in a very tough division.

I thought so at first, too , but apparently there’s a 3rd next year included? That’s a lot for one year of Williams.

Wouldn't that mean they'd have to sukk ass this year?

Weaver and Anae still out there and can be effective in rotation roles year one.

Nothing against the players they have taken in 2nd through 4th but I don't know how you don't invest in upgrading the line when you just drafted a franchise QB you have to protect. I guess we'll know next year if Burrow is still standing upright halfway through the season.

They looked better at the end of the year vs. crappy teams. They’ve totally overhauled the D now though. The Oline is still in the bottom quarter of the league. The offensive playmakers are nice but it’s like having brand new wipers on a busted windshield.

It’s very possible that they take calvin throckmorton in the 7th as the only OL player

It amazes people jump the gun and a rookie who was injured a bust. I call BS and it unfortunate to trash a player because you thought bad pick to begin with as the reason.

Bengals are stacked

[CarolinaBengalFanGuy]

Can’t help if Burrow looks at all these linemen the Dolphins are taking and wishes he was there lol

Rumors were they wanted a 2nd round pick. So even if it's a 2021 3rd with a 5th this year, that's a great deal for SF.

ADG Knee issues? There is one random tweet out there saying his knee is bone to bone. First I'm hearing about it.

Burrow can hide a lot of the blemishes both in pre snap reads and his ability to move. Add in that we can spread the field and have smaller box counts and we will be okay. I think some additions later in the summer when these draft picks replace a vet or two could be had as well if needed.
