Tank Dell did not play at power 5 school.

You're right, they were AAC when he was there.

This defense doesn't use a traditional NT. I could see Wingo there.

Like Wright's speed as a complement to Mixon.

Trotter also seems like a DeMeco guy.

I like Caserio's mix of need vs. best-player-available

I agree, and I also like the fit of the players. Lassiter and Bullock seem to be a great fit for what we need in the defensive backfield. Fisher is a great pick since he has one of the highest ceilings in this draft and we can take some time with him to build him up without the expectations of coming in and anchoring our line. Fisher is a double good pick because if he does come in and end up supplanting Howard, we can dump Howard next year and actually save money.

Some think Fisher could also play inside, which would be big if he can handle guard until we need him at tackle.

Between all five of these guys, hopefully we can find a good starting five. Some luck with health would also help.

Our defense is going to look different this year. We already signed the NT from Jax though, so they may view him and Settle as the bigger bodies.

To that point, I have been wondering if DeMeco has shifted his defense into more of the traditional line with two larger clogs in the middle to prevent anyone from stepping up and then using Hunter and Will to collapse the pocket from the outside? Moving away from the San Fran defense that relies on extremely athletic DTs?

Autry will be that athletic DT. But still need the bigger body ala Javon Kinlaw in the middle.

Why did the dolphins need a 3rd speed RB?

Trade

Finally the Tightend pick

Boom mother****er. I said this morning I wish we would take Cade stover today

What was the trade?

To move up 4 spots seems a little high

You would expect it to be at the end of the 5th, near the 6th .

Move up to get a pick you think helps the team now vs having a pick that might not do anything for you next year.

It is good trade, of course if they are awful next year, then this trade will look a lot worse.

Nope. Maybe we pick up whoever they cut rather than draft a guy now.

Seems we get 2 out of DT/LB/RB on these sixth rounders

I'm kind of surprised that Miami DT Leonard Taylor III is still on the board, I saw some mocks that had him in the 3rd.

First pick is Oregon Linebacker Jamal Hill

And we traded the other pick to the Lions

New #Texans linebacker Jamal Hill ran the 40-yard dash in 4.41 seconds at 226 pounds with a 33-inch vertical leap and a 10-1 broad jump. His 40-yard dash would have led all linebackers at the combine and tied him with the best safety time @KPRC2

Couple of things I think about in these situations:

1) the Texans have a board for each team. They're looking at depth charts with an eye on vets that might get cut due to rookies selected.

2) they like the guys they have that we might not see why.

3) I'm definitely wearing H-Town blue glasses these days and I hope we don't regress.

Do we have 3 7th rd picks now?

We now have another 6th and 3 picks in the 7th. Wondering if we're about to load up on some kickers?

Wouldn't be surprised if they traded them for picks next year. Belichick used to do that.

I'mi not sure if anyone will trade a future pick for a 6th or a 7th at this point. Was kind of an odd move, unless we're trying to grab a lot of special teamers we have targeted.

We drafted RB Jawhar Jordan from Louisville

Im thinking we like our guys and there's a few summer cuts that will take favorable deals to play with us.

Not a bad draft, some solid pieces. Glad we have a coach, culture, and system where these guys will come in and get better. The BoB taint is almost gone…

Dumb question - who is our punter?
