Not sure how much I like this, especially dropping down to 55.

But the two biggest issues:

1. Not drafting a K. I will be very surprised if BB waits until after the draft. He traded up to get Bailey in the 5th round last year.

2. Drafting Jalen Hurts. He's not a very good fit with this offense; yes, he had nearly 70% completion rate, but he also had 250+ runs, too.

I like that this draft gets us a center and addresses the safety positions. The drafting of the QB & RB seems to be typical of BB going for value. I agree that not drafting a kicker is unlikely since it appears that cutting Ghost is at least partially a cost cutting move. Replacing him with a lower draft pick would give us a replacement at more reasonable pricing. Waiting until UDFA signing last could be very problematic especially this year. It might put us in a bidding war over the best K.

First pick needs to be a pass rusher.
