Teven Jenkins or Landon Dickerson are prized picks, depending on Dickerson’s medical of course. It would take about a 4th to move up 5 spots to snag Jenkins. It’s a move I’m okay with making. He can start at RG in year one and kick him out to replace Reiff at RT in year two (if we decide to go that route). 

Would also be happy sitting tight and taking Humphrey or Eichenberg. 

No need to trade up stay put and get a starter.

My guess is a lot of GMs looked at the depth of the class and decided to prioritise other positions first.

I think the lack of 2020 tape from Sewell ended up knocking him down the board.  He was a top 3 prospect in this year's draft based on his 2019 tape.

That and the worst holes were patched last draft. 

I assume you noted that four of the last five were Edge. Even with the first taken at#18, unless you count Collins, there were six in the round. that seems to be the new higher priority. 

It does not bode well for the Chiefs, even with two picks in round #2.

Dallas was most successful when they have had an elite OL.  What have they not had the last few years?  Pick should have been Slater.

Cowboys' O-line problems were caused by injuries. Picking Slater would do nothing to get those players healthy.

These are the position breakdowns for the last two drafts. 

2021

QB - 5
RB - 2
WR - 5
TE - 1
OT - 4
IOL - 1

DT - 0
EDGE - 6
LB - 3 
S - 0
CB - 5

2020

QB - 4
RB - 2
WR - 6
TE - 1
OT - 6
IOL - 1

DT - 0
EDGE - 4
LB - 4 
S - 1
CB - 3

Those 2020 numbers don’t look right to me

 

Edwards-Helaire was the only RB IIRC and I don’t remember a single TE

 

There were like 6 corners IIRC (Henderson, Terrell, Gladney, Okudah, Igbonoghine and Arnette)

 

Derrick Brown and Kinlaw both went at DT 

 

Don’t remember a safety going either

I know Fields didn't fall that far, but i guess those rumours of teams not being as high on him were true. 

Lions, Panthers, & Broncos all have stopgap QB solutions and passed on Fields for OT/DB help. Teams are more desperate than ever to nowadays to get the right QB. Not sure if those will be the right long-term moves. 

I think Fields suffered a bit from prospect fatigue & overthinking. I think he'll be great with Chicago, and while Pace may have been desperate to get a QB, their trade up was fair compensation for all parties involved.
