Iowa linemen are usually pretty dependable so Jones is cool. They neede a TE3, and apparently Roush can block very well. Also there was a TE run after so if they got their best guy, good. Maybe it was a reach but maybe not considering where offenses are heading. Thomas is still a question but if he can make an impact in the return game he’ll have value. But that’s the weakest pick on paper.
Day 3 seems very good. Good value with Muhammad and the ASU kid who by all accounts is a great locker room guy to boot. The Ga Tech DL is exactly the kind of flyer you take in the 6th.
I wish they addressed DL more but it was a weak class and I’m glad they didn’t reach for one.

And we didn't do a dumb thing. Day two just kind of sucked overall. Jones is the best pick of the three, but he is like 24.5 years old, and it felt early. I don't get using an early third on a TE3 and a late third on a gadget/ST guy. There was a run on TEs, sure, but given our roster that is just a total luxury pick.
I liked day 3.

Welcome to the Outlier Draft.
The best players? All at "non-premium" positions. The 3 guys I think that can't miss are a running back, a safety, and an off-ball LB.
The prospects at premium positions all have a major flaw. The best pass rusher has T-Rex arms. The best offensive tackles might actually be guards. The best QB thinks whole milk is spicy.
Trying to figure out who goes where is a dart throw. Well, to be fair, it's always a dart throw. It's *especially* a dart throw this year, ok? Trying to figure out which team is going to be ok overlooking which weakness is going to be damn near impossible.
In the thread below, I'll make some posts about my thoughts on the different positions to get into more specific discussions on players.
