Tennessee OL Trey Smith is a super good dude and a really talented player. I’m not sure there’s a scheme fit necessarily, but he’s a top 15 talent that has been dealing with a blood clot issue for a couple years. That’s the only reason he fell. He’s played OT and OG, seems better suited for OG, but I wouldn’t count him out of anything. He played LT his true freshman season and played well enough that there was top 10 buzz for him if played at that level for 2 more years. Were it not for health problems and coaching incompetence I think he could have stayed there and been a top pick.

@Henry posted:Yeah, not thinking the value is there. Like the pick though.
If he does nothing else but competently returns punts and is a moderate threat to break a few, he's worth the pick. I think he's better than that.
Adams, MVS, Aaron Jones, Amari Rodgers, Lazard, and Tonyan give you a lot of options on passing downs. More importantly, we don't have to play ESB or a guy like Taylor anymore.
I largely agree. Overpaid a little for the position, but the player looks to be a great fit and a potential difference-maker that is needed from the slot. I like it.
It looks like a run on defensive linemen and linebackers so far in the fourth.
You just KNEW Jerruh was gonna take Jabril Cox...he's a sucker for a big dick
I've seen Rodgers go in the second in quite a few mocks, so good chance that Gute had him rated similar. I think he overpaid to move up but like when TT traded up to get CMIII, sometimes you overpay to move up because you just can't believe your guy is there. And like CMIII, it won't matter if the Rodgers performs at a high level.
Is Moses still available? (The player not the Prophet)
I want to biggest slobs we can find for both sides of the ball. Screw LB, don't need one. Just beef, tons and tons of beef.
Nice pick by the Vikings to take Robinson. Packers would have been on the clock now. What felt like it was going to be a big day three has been blunted a bit.
WTAF?? Showing a vaxx then the doc that administered the vaxx, announces the draft pick for the AZ Cardinals?!!?
I have definitely seen it all now

Yep. If there was a hell of a prospect at ILB, great, get him. But I'd rather have DT, more DT and more DT.
Oh good, they found something for McFat to do
Hey..... Mike McCarthy announced the Cokeboys pick. Josh Balls
Kaindoh from F$U would be a nice prospect to replace Lowery
Royce Newman...NICE! Him, Ealy from Okie and Jaimes from Nebraska were the best outside zbs OT on the board
Newman is a motherfucker...he reminds me of Jenkins.
Not going to complain about a slob but time to look forward to a middling defense again.
The new man on the o-line is Newman. He played right tackle his last year but is listed as guard. Nice hair BTW.
Very poor DT class...my guess is we get a couple UDFA...
I’ll never be upset with a versatile slob. But it’s time to collect some DL prospects to see who develops.
Interesting,. It's looking more and more like Jenkins might be lining up on the edge, though it's possible Newman lines up outside.
Looking at remaining DT's. This guy sounds like Keke as far as supposed playing style. Not a run stopper but a gap shooter.
Draft weinie comments welcome.
Packers scouts certainly know how to select these versatile, athletic O-Linemen.
If we get five Elgton Jenkins in front of the QB, even Mitch Trubisky would look good behind that line.

Something happened off the field that must of raised character concerns about Nixon. I don't know what the story is, but he was the B1G DPOY and ranked as at least the 3rd best DT prospect going into the draft. He had a hell of a year at Iowa and back in January there was talk about him going late 1st or early 2nd Rd.
Ah shit, Evan McPherson is off the board.
Time to use the remaining picks to shotgun for long snappers.

Damn. I shall research.
The only thing I could dig up is he's raw and will take time to develop. But if he's dropping like a stone after reading some of his positive press he must of fucked up somehow.
