1. Dallas Turner
2. Jared Verse
3. Quinyon Mitchell
4. Amarius Mims
5. Troy Fautanu
6. Chop Robinson

We had needs at EDGE, CB and OL. We ultimately decided to trade back and forego all of these prospects. He echoed the same sentiment a lot of us fear already. The moment something happens to Morse?

It's right back to the basic same five of players we had last year with Fortner back in the line-up. Hard to stretch the field, play the play action game and go over the top when you don't have a line that can buy the QB time there.

It'll be interesting.

See that is my thing. Not only those 6, but all the various guys we sat around and watched go to other teams while we netted the extra capital to make moves and pursue. We didn't get a singular guy to help the inside of the line, unless they are kicking Foster or Little inside.

This was a prime opportunity to do SOMETHING. We did nothing. I think we ALL are going to be particularly attentive to the production that the many IOL prospects who were available in this darft perform, and ultimately that is gonna be what sticks in our craw even more than if say Jared Verse hits 10 sacks a year for the entirety of his rookie deal.
