Most of my talk has been about the depth and flexibility/versatility drafting Neal and Ekwonu would give to our offensive line.

Assuming they hit on Walker, they have effectively done the same with the defense, especially the LBs.

I think Lloyd plays primarily inside, but has rushed plenty of times from the edge in college.  That could give us five decent to good edge players:

Allen
Walker
Smoot
Key
and Lloyd.

I feel much better about the first round now than I felt immediately after the Walker pick.

Still needs help for Trevor Lawrence now....but a decent day 1.

Yep, I believe we were on the same page going offense. I had not thought of applying that to the defense. They did say it would be a surprise.  I don't think they wanted to trade up but did as it became apparent Lloyd was not going to make it to 33. For those of you who thought it was highway robbery what we gave up to get to #27.

#27 = 680 points

#33 = 580
#106 = 82
#180 = 17.8
