Since the season ended, we have improved every single position group, with maybe one exception - OT. I wanted the next TW too, but it didn't fall that way.

This team is so much better than it was 5 months ago.

Yep !

Love it.

I'm enjoying how we talked about how deep we are at DT and then they take a DT with the first pick in the second round.

But if that kid grows up to be the next Allen or Payne (aka similar/better production while also reducing their heavy snap count) it will be entirely worth it.

Phidarian Mathis' and his fat ass should be sweating heavy right now. Time to earn your roster spot my guy.

I forgot to add, they mentioned when he was taken that Allen/Payne played like 80% of the snaps last year. Next highest guy was John Ridgeway with like 30% of the snaps, and everybody else was under 20%. Those numbers aren't sustainable, we need depth that can rotate in/out on the regular.

Nobody is saying it isn’t better than it was (seemingly). What we are saying is it could be even better (seemingly). There is a difference. Lol.

Not hating on any of the picks per say - they will all hopefully and eventually contribute, but man Cooper was there for the taking. Also I feel like he took McCaffrey because of his relationship with his brother and there were some other wr’s there , more than a few, who were rated higher.

Newton is an absolute beast. Almost had to take him at 36. Daniels was obviously the pick at 2. Sansriti is a ball hawk but small and not Dejean. Sinnott is a good blocker and an instant upgrade.

Definitely not hating. I would have stuck with Cooper and would have taken another wr. That is all.

if what you are saying is true and you maybe correct it is disturbing that the new regime is not competent and failed to pick cooper and guys on forums no more than they do .. if so welcome to another dismal future with this team .... i however believe they know exactly what they are doing and it will show on the field .. but everyone is entitled to their opinions. this is not a jab at you punch more than me questioning there abilities and the whiff on that pick ..

Just want to point out guys on forums sometimes are in fact superior to actual front offices (and in the cases of Rivera and Cerretto far superior). It is not usually the case but time will tell in this instance. Oh and I really don't have any major issues with the actual picks just one nitpick with the lack of aggressiveness with the opportunity to move up into the 1st.

Yeah , its cool. Its just conversation. Thats what its all about. GM’s whiff. Guys on forums whiff. Lol. Only time will tell. Those guys went 2 for 1. Nobody knows how it will all unfold.
Im not insinuating that anyone is incompetent.

[That Guy]

cbs sports picked washington as the winner of day 2, not that any instant grades really mean anything, but some people covering this stuff weren't nearly as down on it. They really liked the TE (as a player/prospect) too.

kiper called WC day 2 winners as well, only thinking the WR was a reach.

so for whatever that's worth.

[skinsfan69]

Seems like they went bpa so it is what it is. Just wish there was a day one starting o-linemen in there, but they did grab a te. Only time will tell.

[HTTR]

Bringing our roster up to playoff caliber is a 2 year project, so bpa choices after round 1 make sense. But protecting JD is an immediate need. I don’t see Bobby Johnson as a guru who can turn our jags into solid performers, so AP/DQ must have a plan, other than going with max protect sets. My guess is they’re targeting someone’s expendable B grade LT

Well Peters has certainly stuck to his plan so far.

He stated very early on that he was going to build the roster from the inside out.

So the fact that he has almost completely ignored WR, CB and OT should not be a surprise.

Even the CB and WR picks are slot guys.

[AnonEmouse]

I may be on my own here, but while I don't love it, I like the draft and love a couple of the picks. JD (duh!), Newton and Sinnott. The rest are solid but not spectacular picks. My suspicion is they're looking at shipping Allen out and he'll be bait for an LT trade, after they couldn't trade up. Some of those that took LT's in rd 1 now have something of a surplus (Jets?) so will be looking to adjust post draft. Given they tried to trade back up into rd 1 but couldn't get a bite, they know full well that LT is a concern. But there's time to put a stop gap in place before camp, and look to the 25 draft to fill that gap long term.

Anyone going to the national harbor event from 11 to 4 today?

I love love love the Ben Sinnott pick. Some say we over drafted, but when this dude bails out JD on 3rd and long all season, people will lose their minds. By far my favorite non QB pick.

This and Sainristil are getting rave reviews everywhere, I haven't seen anybody saying an ill word about either yet. People were calling Sainristil the best player on the best defense in college football last year.

Not gonna lie it feels good to have a GM that can pick these guys in the 2nd/3rd. I'm excited already.

If Sainristil was 3+ inches taller he might have been a top 5 pick . . . top 10 minimum!!
