Wanted to explain my picks.
Taylor IMO is the best back in this draft. Why? Look at the other top backs. Swift is 5-8 and the feature backs that were 5-8 or less Sanders, MJD and Ray Rice. So few and far between. JK Dobbins is a limited athlete. Taylor checks the boxes physically and productivity wise.
Leki Fotu gives us a true 0 gap that can eat up blocks and push the pocket from the middle. Not a Hargrave replacement but I feel a McCullers replacement and the team will use a combination of Heyward, Tuitt, Aluala, and Wormley take Hargraves place in the passing situation.
Okwuegbunam is likely going to sit at #3 or #4 at this point. But he could move up the chart dramatically next year because Ebron and McDonald both are expendable. If you look at our team we haven’t used a high draft pick to develop a TE since Heath. This is a solid mid round pick that has starter potential.
Alex Taylor is an intriguing prospect. He’s a former power forward we elite footwork and athleticism. He’s raw but with Feiler, Banner, and Villanueva all free agents after 2020 giving him a year of NFL coaching and training could turn a 4th round pick into a starting LT.
Weaver is a tackling machine and reminds me of dirty red with much better athleticism. Should be a core special team player and I could very much see him take over for Vince Williams role in 2021.
Kyle Murphy is an intriguing player. Dominated at Rhode Island and has elite athleticism. Should give us some nice depth at OG/OC and might develop into a starter in 2022 if DeCastro leaves.
