It drops a little in the 3-5 round range but still has some surprises, like a YaYa Diaby, Dylan Horton, Isaiah McGuire types. Tail end of the draft, I really like this Andre Jones kid from the Rajun Cajuns. Here's my overall.

1. Will Abderson, Alabama
2. Tyree Wilson, TT
3. Myles Murphy, Clemson
4. Felix Anudike-Uzomah, KSt
5. Derick Hall, Auburn
6. Will McDonald, ISU
7. Byron Young, TN
8. YaYa Diaby, Louisville
9. Dylan Horton, TCU
10. BJ Ojulari, LSU
11. Isaiah Foskey, ND
12. Tuli Tuipultu, USC
13. Isaiah McGuire, Mizz
14. Andre Jones, LU
15. Lonnie Phelps, Kansas
16. Mike Morris, UM
17. DJ Johnson, Oregon
18. Zach Harrison, OSU
Carter should probably be on the list somewhere.
What do you think of Colby Wooden sometime on day 3?
The secret is to work less as individuals and more as a team. As a coach, I play not my eleven best, but my best eleven.

Wooden is one of my draft favorites and had him very high on my 3T list. He played more inside 2021 and about a 50/50 split last year. He also played more in the 285 LB size too. I think he is a perfect 3T who can push outside when needed. He is a very good player that I am hoping will be a Bear come draft day. I see a late 2nd round grade for me. If we miss AA, he's my man.

Interesting thought. I've generally looked at Wooden as an excellent strong-side DE candidate, but I did check his PFF grade (insert obligatory grain of salt) after you said that and, in fact, it's better in 2021 when he played mostly DT versus 2022 when more or less split reps between DT and DE. He'd clearly have to add some mass to do that, though.
