I wanted them to trade up in round 2 for Powers-Johnson who dropped for no good reason. They could have given up one of their 4th's and landed a future pro-bowl interior lineman. Instead, they got a defensive tackle who is all-world athletically but has not done much since his injury. Even had they stayed put in round 2, Zack Frazier was another great prospect they could have had. Of course, they added insult to injury by passing on guys like McCormick, Bortolini, Haynes and Mahogany later on in the draft. If Lawrence doesn't have time to throw again this season, we can expect similar results to the 2nd half of 2023 and more injuries to our "savior" who was supposed to lead us to multiple playoff seasons and a possible Super Bowl. If the line doesn't look better by the start of this season, Baalke should be fired for malpractice.
