Quick and twitchy defensive lineman. Not my first choice, but I like the player.

Wow, gave up a 5th snd next year’s second to move up for him. Guess I’ll have to see what he brings to be convinced

Next years 2nd should be pick 64. So not a big loss
Remember if looking at trade value, 2nd rounder next year equivalent to 3rd this year. So really a 2024 3 & 5 value wise. Fiske is a beast at a needed position, I think def worth. Not to mention the chemistry with Verse.

I like the pick. Defensive line is solid. Now we need to somehow find a pro bowl LT

D Line is looking fast and nasty. Love it. Want to see an off ball Linebacker added.

Same feelings as Verse pick… makes total sense. A little pricey, but they have an extra 3rd next year.
They obviously want mature guys who are ready to play with the first 2 picks. Plug and play.

One of the things I think y'all will love is his motor. He never stops competing, never stops working, has a quick and explosive first step. Verse is more a physical edge, but Fiske's motor and explosion off the snap helped Florida State's defense. We're talking about one of the best defenses in the country; he's worth it. Transferred from Western Michigan, is an older prospect...like Kobie Turner and Byron Young were.

1. He’s got a non-stop motor
2. He blew up the combine
3. He’s Verse’s partner in crime
4. He’s a Ram

Love the pick, although I don’t like the fact that we gave up next year’s second.

Another high energy consistent motor guy. Kinda reminds me of Greg Gaines but more athletic. All this talk about offense in the draft and they go defense with the first two picks. At positions of need. Verse was easily both BPA and need. Was Fiske both too? Possibly.

Next year's draft is a very weak class, in my opinion. Doesn't have the Covid players that this one had, and honestly don't see any real potentially generational prospects, Luther Burden III aside.
