My 1st Rd analysis

Agree. In the 2022 draft, five OTs were taken in the 1st round and I consistently see the 5th one pick as the top rated at the end of the season.. Again, five OTs were taken in the 1st round of the 2023. Steelers had to one of the top OTs in this draft. We'll see how they all pan out by end of the coming season. Bears hit a home run in the 5th round over those over the other 1st round picks except for Tyler. That's not saying the overs weren't good or were injured, but two had to chosen the best by the Football Writers.

Late first round pick and a position that's not as much of a need.

That's what I'm confused on. All my friends down here in Georgia that are falcon fans wrote me saying they knew the falcons would screw it up.

 

That is what I couldn't figure out.

Both players the Lions took had 2nd rounds grades to me.

 

Thank you for the correction....... I should never do late night write ups
