Baalke does love making injury picks

He was injured in the first game of 2019 and then opted out of 2020. He may not start right away, but that's why we franchised Cam. I can see Little starting by mid season. Great pick!
Wow, glad we got a lineman but shouldn't we get someone who's played in the last 24 months?

yep - it's his trademark
Took 2020 off to train and strengthen. Has a year more to get ready to take over for cam. If cam plays well, he can take over for Taylor. Lol
I was intigued by little. I like this pick now trade up and get us a te.

He is certainly fresh. He has only played 1 game in 2 years.
True LOL!!!
I don’t mind the pick.
Let him get a full season of training and such and hopefully can start in 2022.
Campbell has me intrigued, at least what they plan on doing with the CB room. All three can play in today’s game, but who plays nickel? His cone time doesn’t indicate he’d be good and Griffin I don’t think can. Can CJ? Or do they think he’s a safety? But you don’t want a guy who doesn’t have good ball skills back there

Now, trade up from 65 and get one of these edge players. Or stay at 65 and get Friermuth.
This. If we find a way to land an edge guy who can come in and contribute at 65 it makes the Little pick an easy pill to swallow. Our pass rush was so bad last year I thought a def pass rusher was the pick at 45 and JOK lined up well there talent/value wise. Time will tell how it'll work out I guess, there are still guys to be had!

Well we need O-line support and we got that with him. He just hasn't played in 2 years. Hope he pans out.
Thoughts?
It's a need. As for value, he's a boom or bust pick. Most considered him not worth the risk at this high of a spot.
I know there was a lot hope that these first 5 picks would all be big contributors next season. But so far I dont see that with our second round picks barring injuries. Campbell may get time in dime and obvious passing situations. And presumably Little won't play much unless Cam or Jawaan really stink it up.
I think I'm done watching this draft. It's too depressing. I'll find something else to watch tonight.
Hope we can package a 3rd/4th to get back into the 2nd to grab a TE

Pretty safe bet that Jawaan will stink...

You can always follow the Jets and Zach Wilson who you liked more than Trevor...
Little isn't a great pick, but I will say that each pick has gotten a little better each time (Tlaw doesn't count). D for Ethinne, C for Campbell, B for Little. Let's go make an even better pick at 65 now.

It wasn’t just hope. Urban legit said it. Outside of Trevor, none of these draft picks will start.

I'd go along with those grades.

Both 2nd round picks suggest long term plans.
little 6' 8 that is a huge man
