Just did a PFF, totally random and it gave me: Sewell at 9, Christian Barmore DL at 73, and Marvin Wilson DL at 88. Yep, works for me

No complaints here. You hate to take a guard that high, but Davis is a good fit. I'd also consider Slater there if available. I'm also wondering if the purple guys might consider an edge like Rousseau if he falls there. 

I think given the lack of top end 3Ts, the Vikings will try to clear cap space to sign one in free agency. Twyman sounds good, but the last thing this team needs is more middle round DTs. 

Imagine fielding a line with Hunter - Pierce - Rankins (FA) - Rousseau. Then use our middle round ammo to move into the 2nd for a guard. Paris in the 3rd.

Looks like it would take a 3rd and two 4ths to upgrade our 3rd to a 2nd. Basically two 3rds and two 4ths for a 2nd, leaving us with two 4ths remaining, assuming the Waynes comp is a 4th. Then we also have three 5ths. I'd be surprised if we didn't end up with a 2nd somehow.

I could see us trading down in the first to regain some draft capital from the Ngakoue trade

Nice draft - I love Davis, also like Twyman - but I think Twyman will get pushed up into the 2nd, maybe even higher if he is impressive at the combine. 

Justyn Ross - I have not seen news indicating he is going pro, is he? Only way he could last that long would be if the medical concerns are still huge.

Yeah, me too. But if we pick in the 8 to 12 range there are going to be some BPAs on the board that will be very hard to move off of.

I haven't seen anything official about Ross, although I suspect that he's eligible as I've seen him in several mocks indicating he was eligible. And his medicals are going to be big for sure, but if he checks out...could be a steal.

Here's one for you just because...

15. Rousseau
40. Traded 79 and 166 this year as well as 5th rounder in 2022 and took Trask
81. Marvin Wilson

Much appreciated, Hawk....but I hate Trask!! lol. He's like one of the few guys I don't want. So you've actually made it worse. I hope you're happy.  B)

Ok, I tried. I really really tried. Traded down from 14, and up from the 3rd, 4th and 5th to grab two 2nds. Mac Jones was available, but I took Barmore  and Oweh instead.

My guess is you would hate Mac Jones, and more importantly, I'd hate myself for doing it.
