Yeah, not sure about this either. Not that I know much about college ball. But Brandon Graham is looking like the player who was drafted in the 1st round, 1 year coming back from the that ACL injury. Vinny Curry has also made plays as a rookie when he was given the time.
I feel like they will just nab somebody random from somewhere and plug them in if they have a good training camp and pre-season next year, which they've been doing @ DLine recently.
I don't know how good he is and I'm all for BPA, but idk about this pick.
I haven't seen any other drafts mock anything else other than Joeckel to us. Pls sum sort of scouting report on him. I honestly feel like we don't need O-Line help with all the bitches that will be coming back. I see him being compared to Kalil from last year, and I wouldn't mind a bit grabbing him if that's true.
There's also a chance of the Eagles switching to a 3-4 defense, so that might change things a bit.
Joekel is nowhere near Kalil's level. Don't get me wrong, he's good, but Kalil is a once in a decade LT. Joekel is more like a top 10-20 LT potential. Ability to be very good, not give up sacks, but never one of the elite LTs. He could crack the top 10, but wouldn't sniff the top 5 like Kalil.
I thought it was already a sure thing they were switching to the 3-4. Mingo will be able to be plugged in as a 3-4 OLB and as I said, BPA. Tomorrow's mock is going to look a bit different than this though, I think lol. I have my top 5ish picks in my head and they shake it up a bit.
