And what fuck are we doing with Rankin?

Right now, all we have to go on is that Veach said Niang was going to be a guard to start with. Who knows now.

Pretty sure he wants out of Baltimore because he wants to be a LT.

That’s fine

Pay him well and he won’t care I’d guess

If we’re looking for a 3rd rd gem I highly recommend D’Ante Smith. He can play anywhere but C and looks athletic as all hell.

Here’s some footage:

To the echo of the whistle! D’Ante Smith (#67) plays with a nasty temperament. Most of his experience is at left tackle, some teams may value that type of disposition inside. pic.twitter.com/iDDHqfuXsI

Reminds me a ton of Matt Peart from last year who ended up going 99th. Same guy, light in the pants but ultra-athletic and pops on tape. I think you'd have to spend a year bulking him up to move him inside unless he could end up handling center, otherwise you're probably looking at leaving him at LT. Interesting guy though.

I’ve been on the Smith bandwagon ever since I saw him during Senior Bowl week.

He’s going to be a great late day 2 to early day 2 value.

I am currently thinking I would prefer an edge rusher in round 1 and then an OT in round 2 and WR in Round 3.

Think the field is deep for WR and OT but not so for edge rushers.

Gonna have to ask htismaqe about the Iowa kid Alaric Jackson. He seems like an excellent G prospect who has played extensive time at Tackle.

Seems like an ideal mid rd option

Probably a little later than mid-round. He was inconsistent at tackle but could definitely play inside in the NFL. I think he'll likely be a 5th round pick at this point.
