1.15 Wilburt McDonald IV - EDGE - Iowa State

[reuben]

We rotate a ton of edge rushers. With Aaron Rodgers here, we should have more leads. And if we have more leads, he can help protect them.

Jesus the freaking gymnastics

i made it as a excrement post in the draft thread but compared to this move i really think i would have preferred

drafting JMS
moving mcgovern to G
moving AVT to T
one of becton/mitchell/brown to pick from for the other T spot

not that that's the first route i would have gone with. it feels like we drafted a 24 year old project/question mark who may not even be an impact player this year over other EDGE prospects who are better, for a team that is in win-now mode.

Drafting a 24-year old edge rusher>>>>drafting a 24-year old center.

JMS is also 24 and plays a non-premium position

This is what I expect Saleh's philosophy to be.

What did you want with the players available?

[Coach K]

Branch at 15 would've been better too
Who's starting at FS? I'd have preferred a DT or WR

I'm not gonna beat a dead horse but this was underwhelming af

[Coach K]

What did you want with the players available?

Someone who can start and not be 24 and a rotation player lol

Ashtyn "Ashtyn Davis" Davis, bitch.

we would have been fine at DE this year. i don't want to see rodgers fvcked up on his derriere.

we made a significant investment in trading for him so we should look to protect him. our tackle stability is paper thin right now, and having to move AVT there once becton fucks any part of his legs, brown's arm falls off, or mitchell suffers another unfortunate PE just means that we move another question mark to one of the guard spots

Nebulous answer is nebulous.

[Coach K]

Yeah im not gonna go back n forth on this I've said my piece.  But a very underwhelming anticlimactic night lol

[Derek Smalls]

We have Jordan Whitehead and Chuck Clark at safety. Branch isn't a great pick at 15 either.

Feel free to read the 5 other posts where I mention players hy name

The more I try to rationalize the pick, the less possible it seems. It really was just a horrid selection. I haven’t been this pessimistic about a first round pick in a while.

Like I don’t see any way he’s a better option than Nolan Smith if you were locked into a passrusher. Or even a guy like Myles Murphy, who I don’t love but at least can be a legit player for you this year.

Not our sixth edge player.  I'll take TE1 or WR1 over that any day.
