Outside of the last 2 taken, were you simply picking the most exotic names on the board? :-)

Quite the opposite. CJ is ready to go to battle with FAU

Welcome to the $45M QB, $25M WR era, brah.

Good value at a position of need. Nothing not to like about the pick.

Through years of back-testing I’ve found this to be the most sound method of evaluating talent.

But seriously, no. Didn’t even realize it until I finished and looked at the names lol.

You've got 2 good smart football players at DE on rookie deals. That's nice.

Would I like to have a Micah Parsons? Sure absolutely. Those guys go super early in the draft and we're a SB contender every year.

And by the time we have to pay them, Jonesy will be done with his extension most likely, and either retiring or settling into a less expensive rotational role.

Love his post-sack celebration! Gonna be seeing a lot of it this season.

89 pressures in his last 2 years holy shit :-)

There's a lot to like about Felix Anudike-Uzomah, but this note from PFF may be my favorite:

"Felix is one of the best edge benders in this class, and he's going to convert a lot of pressures into sacks because of it. Of his 89 pressures the past two years, 21 ended as sacks."

Value? How so? Didn't he go earlier than projected? He may be a good player, but how is it good value? Do u mean if he turns out to be good, he'll be on a rookie deal for 5 years?
