I remember Snead lamenting the loss of Brockers in the playoffs and how that completely changed the complexion of the game. Seems like the Myers pick provides essential depth to withstand that type of loss the way the Rams weren't able to against the Falcons

At first glance, can't say I love the Allen pick, but I haven't watched him enough to make a solid judgment.

Love Obo.

Ive watched enough of Kiser to say he is my least favorite pick out the guys Ive seen on tape. On the bright side I was shocked by his athletic testing after watching his tape so maybe there is some upside there.

Kizer wouldn't fit well in a 4-3, but he's perfect here. He doesn't play to his timed speed. But he's a thumper with plus instincts. He'll fit well next to Barron and do the dirty work. He's also smart enough to not be a total coverage liability.

As for the loss of Brockers, I think Suh makes up for that. It shifts Westbrooks to the rotation. That means a loss of Brockers still leaves us with Suh and Donald and has Westbrooks fill in. Last year, we had Donald and Westbrooks with Tyrunn or Fox filling in for Brockers. But I don't have an issue with Franklin-Myers. He's a fine developmental pick. My issue was taking him with the other players on the board.

OO gets the call from Wade. Of course the first then Wade says Are you ready to rush the passer. Classic.

You'll like Kiser. Pure, downhill ILB with high awareness. Will clean up anything that gets through our DL, unlike Tree.

Expecting a Safety for the Rams soon, perhaps Trayvon Henderson ? Joyner will be free agent next year and we don't have much behind him.

Hadn't really followed the RB prospects this year...any possible 3rd down backs stand out to "replace" the Tavon role?

John Kelly. He's nothing like Austin, but he's considered one of the best pass catching backs in this class.

Overview
Kelly is a little undersized but is a tough runner and capable pass catcher who has the potential to play all three downs if needed. He can add additional yardage with plus contact balance and an ability to push through tackles, but his average burst between the tackles and around the edge could mean he'll have to live the life of a grinder. Kelly is a solid committee back with the ability to handle full-time duties if called upon.

We're on the clock!

I'm guessing Ejiofor.

Holton Hill would be an interesting pick. Might be best player left in the draft, but not really a position of need.
