​🔥​ Pick #231 is in: Nesta Jade Silvera, DT, Arizona State

[Geezy]

Love the competition up front between Young, Nesta, Tillery, Butler, Jenkins, Farrell, Nichols. Hopefully it’s brings the best out of them and raises the level of the entire group.

I hear what you’re saying but that’s a very uninspiring group of players. We need a lynchpin DT to elevate the entire team. That’s why I was so intent on drafting Carter. Guess we’ll see soon enough

Let me dream lol 

I say Young, Nichols, Tillery and Farrell can be solid. Especially if Wilson can bump inside in certain fronts. A dog in ‘24 would definitely be nice. I just feel Carter was too much of a red flag and not someone like the Raiders could take. He landed in the perfect situation and will probably be a pro bowler now in Philly but we don’t have the structure in place to take those swings just yet.

Has a fun bunch of highlights for a 7th rounder. I'll be looking for him in the 4th quarter this August. Hope he makes the PS

Have people thrown in the towel on Matthew Butler already or something? 

I see Adam Butler's name tossed around a bit, along with Farrell, Nichols, Tillery, Young, etc, but the other Butler seems to be getting left out of the conversation. 

I was pretty happy about grabbing him last year.

He's  the forgotten man mainly because he didn't see the field much at all. But he was a great value pick in 2022. Needed to get stronger, so hopefully did that this offseason and can take a step forward. 

There are a lot of young guys on the Dline. Will be fun to see that competition play out in camp.

Will be interesting if Farrell and M Butler have indeed kicked on a bit and if they are high on A Butler as Tillery will be kept and obviously Young. If they plan on using Wilson inside on passing downs, Nichols should be concerned IMO. Certainly if Silvera can show a bit too.

They would lose 3ish mill but save 3ish mill from cutting him. Don’t think they’d be bold enough to flat out cut him. But he was such a disappointment. I honestly can’t remember a single okay he made and I defo don’t remember a really good game from him.

Matthew Butler has t rex arms. that's why he fell in the draft. He did next to nothing as a rookie. This camp is about him just making the team. He might be XFL bound.

I feel this way, good to have competition but you feel if these guys were on a good team they’d all be competing for the last roster spot as depth but with us they’re battling to be our starter 😳

Young is the only one I think has a chance to be a good starter……..

[big_palooka]

Worth mentioning, Dline has a new coach. Well regarded. Let's hope it leads to progress in the young group.

Butler won't make it out of camp, hopefully Farrell becomes a good starter

Carter has bust written all over him. Shows up at his pro day 10 pounds overweight can’t even finish the exercises that’s a huge red flag.

isn't he more of a NT? I don't like this pick because it shows a lack of confidence in Farrell. I was hoping all the coaches were high on him, but they have brought in like 6-7 DTs and multiple NT. I could be wrong, but I don't think this staff if sold on Farrell being a starter. Which would suck 

DTs rotate.  Can't have the big boys playing 100% of snaps.  Need talented depth as well.
