Trayveon Williams makes a lot of sense.  Ton of value if they go that route.

Hey great call! Have another shot of Crown on me - Cinci just grabbed him

I'm keeping that company in business it seems!

Trayveon would have been our 3rd player drafted this year out of Texas A&M.

I'm happy that for the most part, the Day 3 gimmicks and announcements have been mostly been eliminated or toned down.

Don't get me wrong, I won't be completely happy until all of these drunken Hoorah Henrys and Minnesota 10s have fresh hot molten lava poured over them as they cheer their team drafting a backup nose tackle from Southeast Rhode Island A&M State, but it's a start.

Two smiths at OLB and now two Williams at RB. That will confuse the opponents.

Blake Martinez has to change his name to Blake Morrissey so that our LB corps can be called "Morrissey and the Smiths"

QB Tyree "The G.O.A.T." Jackson. Mark it down.

That would be my guess.

Or Lukas Denis.

I think they'll pursue Ty Summers as an UDFA at ILB and maybe a Greg Dortch at WR.

Takeaways from FA and the draft. 

Defense. Pretty clear Gute wanted to completely flip talent level on defense starting with last years draft, FA this year, and this years draft. Not convinced he’s happy with the end result but it’s not from a lack of effort. 

Offense. Also pretty clear the plan this year is to actually run the football. A lot. And then run it again. He had chances to get a RT but he didn’t. IMO the thinking is you take stress off Bulaga by building up the interior and RTFB. Best way to slow down a pass rush is to run the ball. Been that way forever. Would have liked a TE that blocked but good luck finding that in the draft. Hockenson was a one off. Jenkins is my second favorite pick in this draft after Savage (see defensive point above). Love the players GB has for the OL interior. Really, really love the interior OL GB should put on the field. 

Closing thoughts would be this. This draft was Gute telling MLF and the staff that they best coach every last bit of effort out of Josh Jackson, Oren Burks, and J’mon Moore.

You're missing the clear indication that this FO and coaching staff has supreme confidence in what it currently has at WR.  We used to take RD2 or 3 WRs every year, even when there was more talent already on the roster.  Not a one taken today.  No high round WR taken since Adams.  Is that 5 years ago?
