A traits guy with a thin resume but who had a strong year last year. I can understand it. But it would have been my pick with what was on the board.

Highlight reel didn't show anything all that special, but it did show pretty good coverage.

I liked our first 3 picks.
This one however leaves much to be desired.
Seems many better players available.

I wonder how this happens. Is it hand clocked? Stopwatch? They have it automated at the combine.

Zxavian Harris, Deion Burks, Dametrious Crownover, Brian Parker, Deontae Lawson, Harold Perkins, Kaytron Allen all still available and we took Prunty?

Nothing really stands out. Not his speed, not his strength.

Is he a future safety for us?

Nobody is Perfect our Brass just had a BB moment.

12th best PFF coverage grade at CB. That's not bad for a late 5th rounder.

Nope what? Nope you couldn't be bothered to read beyond the 1st sentence of the post you responded to? Nope, you don't understand how the roster numbers work?

You quoted my post.

there is room for only 3 TE's on this (FINAL) roster.

Why is there only room for 3 TE? They only used 3RBs all year. They subtract WR and the extra O-line when they carried 10 and they could easily carry 4 TEs.

Prunty feels like a reach, but these pros do this for a living.

Expect Allen, Khalil Jacobs and a QB in the 6th.
Hoping for Van der Berg, Jack Kelly or Cameron.

Prunty is a solid pick, can be the outside corner #3, probably #4 to start his career behind Woods. But likely will pass Woods before long. He can play man or zone, if he bulks up a bit he has good potential.

5th round. Roll the dice. Let’s not overthink : first overalls have been total busts. To over analyse at this junction….

This seems like a major under the radar riser. Matt Miller mentioning a few teams were monitoring him due to his pro day performance.

I don’t love it. But why not

Bill Belichick filling in for Mike Vrabel with this pick.

Dude its round 5 not round 2. Get a grip. Roughly 8.9% ever get a long term contract. Its ok. You will be just fine.

Mike Vrabel says he is at Counseling meeting today so you can’t blame him for this pick!

Good question. I’ve noticed that Pro Day numbers are a bit better than Combine numbers. Not sure why.
