NFL Draft
Round #2 Pick #49 PATRICK PAUL OT HOUSTON

Paul is firmly in the mix to be a top-100 pick. Paul has a long, powerful frame at 6'7" and 307 pounds that allows him to redirect rushers and comfortably handle stunts. His best attribute, though, is his patience in pass protection.

Rarely one to panic or expose his hands to defenders, Paul has great control of his own body, which forces defenders to show their move first. Paul's blend of great technique, raw power, and patience allowed him to be a force throughout 2022.

Where Paul struggles to compare to his peers is his natural athleticism. He's a very good run blocker but isn't the freakish athlete who can effortlessly landmark at the second level. His limited agility and tendency to bend at the waist against speed rushers do show an upside that's not quite on par with better athletes.

Round #2 Pick #51 Chris Braswell Edge Alabama

Chris Braswell lacks the high-end flexibility and fluidity to realistically ever be a consistent double--digit sack artist at the next level, but he plays with his pants on fire, and that effort and explosiveness will always find a role at the NFL level. He's added power to his frame and his hands are impressive. He beats college tackles well enough, but without adequate bend, it's hard to imagine him being a quarterback hunter at the next level.

Are we missing some content?

I like the first two you list. Although, IMO, I think Braswell goes sooner than OT Paul. The Mock Draft Data base has a consensus of 38th overall for Braswell.

As far as non-draft stuff I don't see why we'd release Brown III? He's the only space eater we have and was decent in said role in 2023 and he's dirt cheap depth for one more season. I love all the resigns though.

Draft I'm not as on board with trading down a lot like I would in previous seasons. Will depend on who's left at 19. Trading down after round 1 I would be more ok with but want to keep 19.

If Brown could just have the same motor from play to play, he'd be an all-pro. Did not have expectations for him last year but he pleasantly surprised. He could be even better though. Brown coming back from injury helped the D down the stretch!

But def don't cut him!
