I wouldn't mind if we tried to jump back up in the 2nd with another pick.
I would like to see us get an OT like Spriggs because next year we could be having some turnover. And it would be nice to have a future replacement in the system.

And let Zimmer pick who he wants on his side of the ball.

DP thanks for keeping us updated :beerock:
I think Jerry wants a pass rusher (Spence). Or Jack. It'll be defense now that Lynch is gone.

Maybe, although just a minute ago I read a mock of the second round at USA Today that had the Cowboys selecting Connor Cook in R2.

Dolphins held an "introductory" press conference without Tunsil. He had an "allergic reaction."

An introductory press conference for a guy that's not even there. I love it.

Anyone with day two predictions? I only have one: if Jack is still on the board for the Vikings third round pick they will take him.

The fans will forget to boo goodell at some point during the night. No, nevermind.

I understand gas masks can cause an allergic reaction. ;)

I have no doubt. They might even take him if he's on the board in the second but I suspect he'll be gone by then.

I think Connor Cook will be drafted pretty quickly in R2.

I wonder how many fans of all 32 teams are hoping for the same

Do you think Jack or Jaylon have a better long term prognosis?

The only reason I want Jack is so that the entire LB corp can be from UCLA. I'd just find that hilarious.
