Oakland has systematically dismantled their OL.    Do you have faith in their decision makers?  If so, why?  If not, is your lack of faith reflected in the picks for those-and other -teams?  

Quote:I don't see the Colts trading back, due to the lack of LT prospects in this draft. I know they like to trade back, but losing a starting LT is huge. Especially when you just traded for a young QB. If we've learned anything about Wentz, it's that he needs a clean pocket. I don't see that happening with the LT's they currently have on the roster. I really thought they might've taken a run at Riley Reiff. If they trade back any further, I don't see any LT prospects that could start right away. 

I definitely put Cox inside. I'm a HUGE Jabril Cox fan. I could see him easily outplaying Joe Schobert and even Myles Jack. I could see him making Schobert expendable by the end of the 2021 season. That's when there is a potential out in his contract. Cox is my #2 ILB behind Zaven Collins. Collins is my #1 LB period, no matter the scheme or where you play him.

I could see them trading back and still getting a guy like Cosmi or Eichenberg, though you have Eichenberg going to them at 21.

As for Collins, he considers himself to be an OLB, though i think he has the versatility to play inside.

If you have Molden as a Safety, then you have us taking 2 Safeties with Ardarius Washington. Again, that seems like overkill imo, considering we do already have Wilson, Jenkins and Thomas. 

Hilliard is a bit smallish and slow for a 3-4 scheme. He's barely 6' and only 229 lbs. with 4.8/40 speed and he ran the 3 cone in the same time the OSU NT did (Togiai.) I like my linebackers a little bigger and definitely more athletic.

I am not a fan of Wilson at all.  He was decent in his limited time a couple of years back, but I have since soured on him.  Agreed about the size and speed of 3-4 LBs.

No I don't. I kinda do have that reflected on their picks. Some good, some terrible. 

I think there is gonna be a huge run on LT's. I see no way Cosmi falls much further than where the Colts currently are and just a slim chance Eichenberg falls out of round 1. 

Whatever Collins considers himself, ideally I see him as either a 4-3 WLB or a 3-4 ILB. I really think he could be something special at either position. I believe he would be a really good 3-4 OLB as well, but as a 3-4 ILB, I believe he has a chance to be an All-Pro. He's that good.

I'm not a fan of Wilson as a starting FS, but as a backup FS, I'm fine with him.
