Damn man - I feel like I also REALLY like Drake Jackson and got so far down on him after he weighed in that I never got back to where I started on him in January where I considered him a 1st round pick.
And like Karlaftis - he's young. Still only 21. The broad jump and vert tells me this guy is super explosive. Very good arm length even if he's a little shorter. If he's truly able to play at 265-270 (and at his age, why wouldn't he be?), then he's got enough bulk.
He and Ebiketie seem more and more like 6 in one hand, half dozen in the other. And if Jackson doesn't get hurt last year and maintains the same development arc, I think he pushes himself into the 1st.
Argh.
Fuck it.
50: Drake Jackson, Edge - USC
62: Jalen Tolbert, WR - Southern Alabama (I'm sold here)
103: Zyon McCollum (equally sold here)
135: Matthew Butler, DT - Tenn. I just really like how he developed at TN.
That's my call. I'm done. Until I change my mind again. [Reply]

They could also say fuck it and grab a guy like McCollum or Williams who will need some time and might not play a ton this season.
We absolutely need another DE though.
I'd like to come away with another DE and another CB.
We're an injury away from DeAndre Baker seeing meaningful snaps. [Reply]

Everybody really.
But also - look at that board and tell me we're not going to see a QB run in the first 8-10 picks of that round.
I think Willis, Corral and Ridder could ALL be gone by the time the Falcons make their pick. The Titans and Seahawks are also in there as QB-needy teams drafting ahead of us.
That's gonna help a bit. And like I said, there are a half-dozen DL I'd be just fine taking at that spot. One of them will slide. [Reply]

I think we’re going to see the QBs and maybe the top 2 RBs go before our pick.

True. And I think there's going to be a team that takes a RB ahead of 50 as well. [Reply]
