Rd. 4 (122) McKinley Jackson

Rd. 5 (158) Gabriel Murphy


Only did 5 rounds for my first effort this year. Obviously, the priority was to get interior linemen. Fuaga and Mahogany are both run-blocking maulers who could become immediate starters at right and left guard. Fuaga moves inside after playing right tackle at a high level in the Pac-12. Frazier should be much stronger than Luke Fortner at center where his college wrestling success will enable him to handle nose tackles like Vita Vea.

Very pleased to get Leggett in round 2 as a replacement for Ridley, who has not earned the big contract he'll likely be demanding in 2024. Jackson is a rotational nose tackle who can also penetrate and Murphy replaces Chaisson at edge rusher.

I like this draft. It's the same thing I am trying to do give or take. Grab a receiver some where early while trying to fill in massive voids on both sides of the line of scrimmage. 

Frazier with his wrestling background gives me Linderbaum Jr. vibes. Which is a positive statement coming from me. I wouldn't mind him on this team. Leggett in RD2 feels like a steal to me. 

I see him in RD1 quite a bit in most mocks lately. I think his combine and pro day will make or break him for the most part.
