That's interesting to hear the Bolts were high on Bryan.

They have a good personnel department, and they run the same schemes we do.

I still want to see more of Bryan.

The only quibble I have is with #3.  I understand the FO loved the potential of Bryan.  So did most draft analysts.  I think they're basing it on workouts and not games.  Just not enough evidence there for my taste.  Since you already have arguably the best defense in the league, but your O line is only ranked 13th, I'd have preferred getting a sure fire OL in the 1st and worrying about getting a rotational/2019 replacement player on day 2 or 3.  OTH, Caldwell may have pulled one out of the hat with Richardson.

Thank you Yoda!

My preference pre draft was for Will Hernandez.

I think had we taken Hernandez instead of Bryan, most Jaguars fans would be delirious over this draft class.  Hernandez would have given us an immediate impact player and clearly the best running game in football.  But I want to see some impact from Bryan in rotational snaps.

My bet for the rookie that would supplant the vet in the first year will be Harrison over Church.
