5th Rd / Pick #172 - Chris Paul Jr, LB, Ole Miss

[Jacobarch]

Dude is gonna be the steal of the draft on defense. Book it

 

[El Chapo Jr]

This draft looks really strong overall with only one potential complaint, that being no CB. Rams obviously like their boys back there.

Think that's a huge mistake unless they actually trade for Ramsey, uncover some hidden UDFA gems, or if we have a surprise current player that improves by leaps and bounds. At least one player there would have been nice.

What about OLT2?

Yeah I really liked this dude's games. Wanted Nick Martin but have to admit that Chris Paul is a better prospect, better drops and a bit stronger in his tackling.

This is a really good player for round 5 man. Figured he was gonna go round 3-4.

Did he really pull an RB down with one hand with a blocker still on him?!

HOLY SCHNIKEES

I suppose best way to summarize that is you can't solve everything in one draft. Every team has those areas of weakness. Ours is gonna be that Jackson has to stay healthy or we fucked.

Huge area of need! Does anybody know what picks we have next year after this move?

We only gave up two 6th rounders to Minnesota (201 and 202). No 2026 picks. So on the weekend we gave up 1 2026 pick, a fourth rounder.

Fuckin Bills

I didn't expect much at CB. Where I'm concerned is the lack of OT. I don't know what the plan is for OT3. Really felt we needed to upgrade.

Goes hard and fast to the ball when he sees it. Nice...

Still a couple vet free agents out there that wouldn't be bad as 1 or 2 year rental swing tackles. Also a couple draft picks who could be interesting.

Yeah I'd be calling Smith's agents.

Former 1st round pick Forbes. He puts it together then season (I hope).

True, but I can say if Jordan Mailata goes down or Lane Johnson, and the Eagles will have issues. Hurts us more with an inmobile QB, but not many teams can lose a LT and survive.

You have a nice talk with him then. I'll call some others

Assuming you mean Tyron

Another vet: Noteboom!!

Yeah. I wanted him last offseason too. Have always respected his pass pro.

 

[den-the-coach]

And he can cover!!

The Horns have to first feed Forbes intravenously until he actually looks like a primetime NFL starting CB. Scarecrows won't get the job done against some of the beefy WRs, TEs, & RBs he will face.

Agreed. But until you're out of cap space trying to get that roster as good as possible is the goal. So it's a fair point that swing OT is a potential target for us.
