|
Ok. So. Looks like Herndon's got his work cut out for him this summer for his job. That's three guys that can play nickel we just took.

Does being a late round pick in a weak draft lessen the amount of money being paid on the contracts? Perhaps the GM saw an opportunity for cheap (albeit weak) prospects. If the prospects overperforms; that's great and they're cheap, and if they don't, well, they're cheap.

If the prospects overperforms; that's great and they're cheap, and if they don't, well, they're cheap.This is all a major attempt to front load the roster with cheap labor in hopes of developing them into starters by 2024, 2025. Lawrence is going to cost us probably $300M. You can fully expect Baalke to draft more offensive lineman next year early on. I am willing to bet they wanted to trade up for another lineman in this draft but couldn't pull one off that made sense. I know people were high on Torrence here but it feels like this staff was getting scheme specific in this draft and they don't want to take the wait and see approach with another class. After Walker and Lloyd's slow progress as rookies? Can't say I blame them for this specific approach during this draft. The biggest. I mean, BIGGEST hope for 2023 is Walker and Lloyd solving our pass rushing woes and Caldwell being a more comfortable, confident and competent play caller as a 2nd year defensive coordinator. Baalke loaded this class up with picks. Went heavy on defense today and is covering his [BLEEP] in this situation.

I hope 2 or 3 of these long shots pay off. Odds are stacked against us, but I do like the upside and traits on a few of these picks. Fingers crossed we end up with solid cheap labor at a few spots.

A Southeastern PROFFESIONAL football teams' fan base trends towards following, brace yourself, Southeastern COLLEGIATE football teams. Can you believe it?

With a 7th round pick, hoping for OG (was a RT in college) Cooper Hodges. 6'4" 311 prospect that made a 30 visit to the Bank...
