I think I might prefer Ruiz. Still favor OL/DL round 1. Ruiz could count for G and C. Assuming Karras and Thuney gone could fit in need areas.

If Ken Murray or Zachary Baun is still available at 23, I would choose one of them - or also Xavier McKinney - ahead of Epeneza; we need more mid-field speed...My first mock draft after Tom's departure .View attachment 26413 View attachment 26413

I'm not a fan of Uche in our defense; he's not nearly as laterally proficient as Murray & Baun, and he's too small & un-stout to be strictly an upfield guy...I prefer Malik Harrison & Logan Wilson here if we don't go LB earlier...
Absolutely Love the next 2 picks; Trautman's my #2 TE behind Cole Kmet and ahead of Harrison Bryant...and Van Jefferson (as well as fellow legacy Isaiah Hodgins) are my favorite WRs at this point in the draft...
I like Darryl Williams' size & length for POA-blocking at Center, but I worry about his explosiveness in space & downfield...If Temple's Matthew Hennessy were still available that would be perfect...
Absolutely Love the Lynn Bowden pick, though he probably won't be available this low...but we do have a 5th-rounder now...
Don't know much yet about the next 3 defenders, but I can get behind the Montez, Phillips & Blankenship picks.
Yeah if Herbert's there at 23 I'm taking him too...
Other than lb and DT. I wonder if an edge who is more of a DE than lb could be our pick. We seemed to generate most of our pressure thru scheme. A guy like Chiasson could fit the bill. He’s not a clean prospect, but Danielle Hunter wasn’t either.
That said. We will prob trade down and draft Raekwon Davis or maybe Fotu.
With the RPO, I wonder if taller de’s who can alter passing lanes might help. I wouldn’t mind Epenesa at 23 at all. Just throwing other options out there.If you're looking for a DE at #23 who can set an edge and generate some pressure from the inside during passing downs, then AJ Epenesa's your man...If you're willing to gamble on greatness with somebody who can create impact plays from multiple areas of the field, then Klavon Chiasson's your man...
And even if Bill doesn't trade down and keeps the pick, Davis and/or Fotu might still be available by the time our 3rd-rounders appear...

I'm leaning toward becoming more stout at DT, so I'm not really considering somebody like Madubuike unless he falls into Day 3 and the value is too good to ignore...though his 31 reps at the combine is impressive...
Love the Trautman pick.
Not too crazy about the next 2 picks though...Dye is hurt and Jennings doesn't help much to address our need for more athleticism at LB.
Quintez Cephus might indeed be one of the better WRs remaining at this point, a sure-handed, contested-catch style of player with explosive high-point skills, though his character flag is concerning, as is his 40 time...
I like Evan Weaver in the mid-6th round better than I do the other two where they were taken...
I also like Kavon Wallace here...adds more athleticism...possible DMac understudy?
Cabral's OK, but I would've addrestased OL earlier than this, by the 4th round at the latest...
Instead of another DT at #213, I would be on the hunt for Pass-Rushers...still might be a couple of decent ones left...
Breeland's OK as the back end of a TE double-dip...IF he's healthy...
I'm thinking the same thing at #241: either a Kicker or a QB...
Oh yeah Epenesa to many teams (maybe even to Bill) would absolutely be worthy of #23 overall, and if All of (in order of preference):With the RPO, I wonder if taller de’s who can alter passing lanes might help. I wouldn’t mind Epenesa at 23 at all. Just throwing other options out there.
Hmmm...I very well just might...Would you trade Edelman and 98 for 45 and OJ Howard?

ND's Cole Kmet is most everyone's #1 TE, but his value is generally considered to begin around the mid/late 2nd round, too early to be taken at #23 where there should still be some choices available providing better value at other positions (LB especially)...Captain, in your opinion is there a tight end worthy of the 23rd pick if none has been selected and every prospect is still available?
Think our focus needs to be on te, lb, dl early. Possible speedy wr.
