Why take a chance on reach? We've already been burned reaching for Ifedi and Collier.
If the guys you want aren't there , either trade down or draft the best DT in this draft, Jordan Davis. Amazing how much damage a great DT can make.(think Cortez Kennedy ) Unless a team falls in love with a QB. I don't think they'll be bowled over by any trade down offers. Reaching, got them here in the 1st place, looking for an OT and a DE.
Faalele is a reach I could Seattle taking in the second round. I used to always use for their pick at 40 or 41 but trading down is John Schneider and Pete Carroll. I could see the big man available until the mid 50s. He is a freak athlete, there are very few 380 lbs human beings who could be any athlete other than a small Sumo wrestler. I have read good things about him.
I have watched some of Bryce Hall and Kenneth Walker lll. As this is Seaside Joe I think I think Kenneth is the proper pick.
Keep up the good work Kenneth it is pretty easy to feel how much you enjoy the draft your prognostications are the icing on top of the cake.
During Pete and John's press confrence today, the one thing that came through loud and clear is they will be open for business on Thursday. My prognostication is there is only two things that could make them change course. Number 1, is Sauce is there at 9 and number 2 no one wants to jump up to 9. I am cheering for the first scenario.
Not so fast... Kenneth Walker III was faster than Hall, I'd argue has a better burst, and I don't think Hall played againt the same quality of defenses that Walker did. The biggest argument for Hall is that he's a better blocker and has more tape as a pass catcher. But the "no one else comes close" hyperbole is just that. Neither is head and shoulders above like Barkley or Henry were.
No disrespect to KWIII, who I've been pounding the table for since early in the 2021 college season after he transferred from Wake Forest. Think it's fair to say that had he always been with the Spartans, he would have more than one 1,000+ yard season. I do think you're underselling the size difference a little--i know it's "only" two inches of height and maybe 10 lbs at most, but they just look a lot different to me on the field--and the importance of what Hall did prove as a pass catcher. But I completely agree that I may have oversold how vast the difference is between the two. Noted.

Thanks Chris!
I think Faalele as a reach in the second makes a ton of sense.

Got Travis Jones on my day 2 wish list. Talk about plugging the middle.
I think you're onto something
