First impressions: Best and worst picks thus far?

People are looking at the Penix pick all wrong. The Falcons knew all along they were going to pick Penix and they signed Cousin because they were concerned about Penix injury history...

This is a meme.... Right?

They're not sitting him 2 years. Cousins is getting cut after this season and the Falcons are going to eat $60MM in dead cap money to do it. It's bad roster building and a $100MM free agent mistake.

It's not necessarily a bad draft pick.

What if it's both?  😆

Best Day two picks versus my board:

28. Dominick Puni | OL | Kansas - 49ers (-58)
33. Christian Haynes | IOL | Connecticut - Seahawks (-48)
58. Payton Wilson | LB | NC State - Steelers (-40)
9. Jer'Zhan Newton | DL | Illinois - Commanders (-27)
42. Junior Colson | LB | Michigan - Chargers (-27)
46. Cooper Beebe | IOL | Kansas State - Cowboys (-27)
66. Adisa Isaac | EDGE | Penn State - Ravens (-27)
15. Cooper DeJean | DB | Iowa - Eagles (-25)
39. Kingsley Suamataia | OT | BYU - Chiefs (-24)
30. Adonai Mitchell | WR | Texas - Colts (-22)
23. Jackson Powers-Johnson | OL | Oregon - Raiders (-21)
31. Zach Frazier | IOL | West Virginia - Steelers (-20)
48. Trey Benson | RB | Florida State - Cardinals (-18)
64. Jermaine Burton | WR | Alabama - Bengals (-16)
68. Roman Wilson | WR | Michigan - Steelers (-16)
 

Worst Value Day two picks versus my board:

68. Caedan Wallace | OT | Penn State - Patriots (Not Ranked Top 150)
79. Matt Goncalves | OL | Pittsburgh - Colts (Not Ranked Top 150)
82. Tip Reinman | TE | Illinois - Cardinals (Not Ranked Top 150)
87. Marist Liufau - Notre Dame - Cowboys (Not Ranked Top 150)
91. Ty'Ron Hopper - Missouri - Packers (Not Ranked Top 150)
145. Marshawn Lloyd | RB | USC - Packers (+57)
148. Jalyx Hunt | EDGE | Houston Baptist - Eagles (+54)
111. Blake Fisher | OT | Notre Dame - Texans (+52)
99. Maason Smith | DL | LSU - Jaguars (+51)
110. Cole Bishop | S | Utah - Bills (+50)
92. Kamari Lassiter | CB | Georgia - Texans (+50)
83. Ruke Orhorhoro | DL | Clemson - Falcons (+48)
138. DeWayne Carter | DL | Duke - Bills (+43)
128. Zak Zinter | IOL | Michigan - Browns (+43)
120. Calen Bullock | S | USC - Texans (+42)
 

Some of these are probably fine due to the talent levelling out, but you do have to balance those out against the good players still left on the board. I was probably too low on Jalyx Hunt (couldn't watch much on him) and Marshawn Lloyd. Plus teams had to respond to the run at offensive tackle.

Agreed. Great draft. 

Feels strange after the long stretch at the end of Colbert's career where we got the reach in RD1, WR or DB who fell in RD2, then a bunch of positional coach player projects in rounds 3-7.

Washington getting Newton is my steal of the draft. Seattle getting Haynes in the 3rd is runner up steal of the draft. Steelers probably have drafted the most quality starters. Loved my eagles getting DeJean in the 2nd. Bears day 1 was good enough to ignore any reach they make the rest of the way, and Kiran has nice potential. Arizona has had a solid draft. Adonai feels like a big steal for Indy.

Agreed with Wallace. What a shocking reach from us

 

did Bill make that pick?

I was surprised by how high he went.  Sure he was greatly improved this past year but honestly a few of those seasons that dude was awful in pass pro and really struggled in some big time games.
