I thought Butler was expected to go in the run of DTs before our pick. But I don't remember.
Where are the QBs slotted to go so far?
I no longer pay for Insider so I don't get ANY of the "decent" articles on ESPN....including draft coverage.
I've seen Trubinsky at #2.
Yeah, and no other QBs until Deshaun Watson mid to late first round.
For comparison, Mitchell Schwartz was one of the better RT's in the league, had good games against Von Miller on his resume, and signed with the Chiefs for a relatively moderate 5 year deal averaging $6.6M/yr after leaving the Browns.
Ric Flair whored himself out to the Falcons.

So while at the time I agreed (and still probably do agree) with the way Luke's injury was handled, if the guy had cleared the protocol I guess the purpose is just to hold him out solely because the games didn't matter anymore? Or is there an increased risk of getting another concussion in the immediate time period after experiencing one - meaning he was more likely to get another concussion during the last three games this season than he will be come next season? I say that because if that was the case, why not sit basically all the key players for the last few games of the season once we were eliminated? Cam had a concussion early in the season, we were eliminated from the playoffs, so by the same logic it seems like he shouldn't have been out there either for the last two/three games.
I've seen mock drafts with 1 QB going in the top 15, and 1 OT going in the first round. It's absolutely absurd, and ignores the desperation and false hope most teams have for those 2 positions.
Maybe its a good omen for us? Both times we had the #8 we at least made the NFCCG that season ('96, '03).
Also got Gross last time we had it, I'd settle for that again. The other pick, Tshimanga, less of a raging success
