He's similar to a younger Frank Clark to me, so Veach/Spags definitely seem to have a type at RDE.
My only real disappointment is passing on Hyatt. He could have put that explosive player back in the KC offense. But eh, there are plenty of WRs that might do that yet.
Kind of hopeful they make a move up for Benton tomorrow, really want that cat on the interior DL.
I also like Benton and see DT as a major need. Would be a really nice fit.
I don’t want Nnadi playing any significant number of snaps. I’ve seen enough. [Reply]

Idk, DT is still really thin after CJ, and as of now CJ is in his last year in KC. [Reply]
It’s painful to see how many draft experts on this board don’t watch college football. this kid came from our backyard and played 2 hours away…. [Reply]

Thanks man.
I thought one of those guys that went in the last half of the draft were going to fall to us, but FAU was my worst case scenario pick (in terms of how the board falls).
Bascially, there are quite a few guys I would've taken had they fallen, but he was my BPA (outside of Porter Jr.) [Reply]
I would still like to bring in a free agent DE on a one year deal like Dunlop or Clark. Let that player take most of the snaps early, and increase snaps for Felix as he gets acclimated. [Reply]
