He was openly saying how he didn't think he could play RT before his start against the Seahawks IIRC and thus he ended up playing just one half. One player in a string of mentally weak players we went for in early rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had good technique for a rookie, he was just too weak, especially in the lower half and got pushed around. Then he saw his first opportunity at RT and got manhandled. I don't know of anyone who at the time though he was a bad pick. In fact, it was widely regarded as a coup to move up ahead of Texas for him. It doesn't appear that he did all that was necessary to get functionally stronger. Sometimes the right pick just doesn't work out. Now, Reagor over Jefferson ..........😭 Yeah, I can't fault a GM as much when a guy falls in the draft and seems like a great pick. It is when there are obvious picks like Jefferson over Reagor or Hamilton over Davis that I can really fault them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UndyTaker Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Alright ive narrowed down my predictions for who they are taking in the 1st round weather its by staying still or trading up/down. I think the pick will be Verse or Mims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best thing I could say about Mims is we probably don’t have to move up to get him, compared to the other Tackles. But yeah wouldn’t love the pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
