Desir maybe? Emery likes to double up on positions.

He doubled up on positions, just not the one I thought he would.

I'm wondering if that's who Emery was talking about when he said they looked into corners who could play safety?

If they are going to convert one, he or Exum would be my preference.

Okay we've got a RB and safety. Positions you'd like to see them address? If Exum is there in the 6th that's a no brainier to me. TE, RT or another DB. Maybe even punter!

So to summarize, Emery this year has drafted:
  • Depth at defensive tackle that can stuff the run and rush the passer
  • More competition at safety
  • A probable starting punter
  • A project QB for the future
  • A nickel corner that may start before the end of the season depending on injuries
I'd say there's not much to complain about.

I'm still letting it all sink in, but I'm overall *very* happy with our draft this year.

I'm shocked at some of the linebackers still available - Christian Jones, Shayne Skov etc. I was expecting them off the board way earlier

I'd say it's a near certainty that we Draft a LB in the 7th

I mean... if anything would be "thinking outside the box"... that would be it.

I would be on the phone with the agents of....

Bailey
Skov
Jones

3 guys we thought would be 3-4 round guys. If they don't pan out, no cost at all.
