Playing “armchair GM” here as the post requests so don’t jump down my throat.
Smith: I was on the Edmunds train pre-draft but I understand the logic of Smith and taking the “higher floor” guy. Fangio clearly wanted him so I can’t complain. But...this pick requires a commitment to keep the DL stout and big to give RS the best chance to live up to his billing.
Daniels: I think we could have added to OL depth later and would have preferred Landry here. Not knocking the player selected, just thought Landry was bigger I,pact.
Miller: No one saw this move coming so it’s hard to project a different choice. I’m ok with it and I think this kid is gonna be good. Love his attitude.
Iggy: My thoughts are well known here. Armstrong, Ejiofor, and Sweat were still on the board. If we had taken Landry in 2, I would probably have favored OL here.
Nichols: I like the pick a lot and am glad Pace recognized we needed a DL badly.
Fitts & Wims: Like them both. Late rounders like this are all about taking a shot with upside, no one is going to complain if they fail. And both these guys seems to have a legit shot to become valuable pieces for us. That all you can ask for the 6th-7th rounds.
Pretty much this. but w/their wanting to move back into the 2nd I understand getting the OL taken care of instead of going OLB. Fact is this pass rush class sucked, terribly and the draft showed that over and over again.
I would have gone w/one of hte edge guys also instead of iggy, but BuT again pass rushers weren't viewed highly and it showed. and if they go OLB/DE here we probably don't draft Nichols and might not have Iggy, so it worked out.
I wanted Roquan Smith and Will Hernandez. Once Will was gone and considering Isaiah Wynn and Billy Price were also taken, I Daniels was a no brainer. The only pick I would have done differently was the Iggy selection. I can't remember who was on the clock there but Iggy was not on my mock draft ignoramus radar.

I agree! Wanted Chubb and Hernandez, but they were both gone, so our draft is a great 2nd option, have a feeling Smith will be great.
