Wynn. For those curious:

6th on ITP's Board
11th on Jon Ledyard's Board
10th on Kyle Crabbs Board
11th on Joe Marino's Board

He is the 2nd best guard prospect in the class and has the potential to play tackle. He's a stud. Great pick. Not sexy but smart.
Feeing better about my gut “Cowboys going seemingly off the board to build through the trenches” reaction.

Trade down twice and get the best TE.

Wrong about the Ravens interest in Jackson.

Bill probably decided that if if Brady is going to be here a few more years, it would be a good idea to keep him alive. Although he would have taken Evans in a heartbeat but for Vrabel.

In terms of roster considerations if you lose Shaq Mason he likely would qualify for a 3rd or 4th round comp pick. They were high on Garcia. They needed quality depth at both positions and now have 3 guys to compete for OT.

Can't help but thinking this really was a great move.

Hayden Hurst is the best complete tight end this year. He was a 3rd rounder to me. College TEs are not coming out the same way as Nomario has pointed out. YMMV on him. I prefer Maurice to Hayden.

23 seems like a place where the choice essentially is between solid but not spectacular and high risk high reward.

Could we see Denver trade back up for Jackson? #27 for #40, #99 and their last 5th rounder

Hmm, Ridley to Atlanta? That's going to be scary for secondaries.

Ridley is the perfect compliment to Jones. Really excited for the Falcons with this pick even if it means no Taven Bryan for them.

I am guessing Josh Sweat or Connor Williams. So many possibilities here and not that many picks.
Josh Jackson is really good for them too... in fact isn't he the perfect corner for their system?

Seahawks I mean not Pats at 31.

When every fan on every team wants their team to draft Jackson, and every team passes, are we sure hes Desaun Watson and not Tyrod Taylor?

I mean, I understand he can’t get a Maroney or Chad Jackson every year but would it hurt to try?
I don’t understand this comment. BB isn’t perfect? You know better than him? Honestly, I really don’t understand people who sink all of this time into the draft and then sulk way disappointed when their pet guy doesn’t get picked. Nobody knows shit, including the guys running the most well run franchise in the NFL.

But by all means, BB whiffed on Jackson and Maloney and a few others, so he probably should have picked the guy you liked.

You should have stopped after your first sentence. It was a joke about sexy picks.

I have not sunk any time into the draft and certainly am not sulking over a guy with monster OL production.

Pretty sure that was a sarcastic joke maybe about taking a guy from UGA with a medical issue?
