Who do we want?

Discuss

Pregnon, Boston or McDonald at 36

McDonald but unfortunately Arizona and Buffalo both are in the market for DTs in front of us.

McDonald, Hunter, Boston, Emmanuel McNeil-Warren

In that order....

The way its shaking down, we could trade down a few spots and still get Hunter....

Tonight is where we see if Spytek is the guy. Mendoza was as no brainer as they get. Is there a guy he really wants and feels the need to go up and get him? Or is there a pool of guys he’s lumped together that one of them can still be had after trading down?

So Pregnon is the better run blocker. He's a mauler. Bisontis is better pass blocker, maybe best in class. Pick your poison.

100% McDonald if he's there. But i'd settle for Boston.

I read Bisontio is a penalty machine, but I'm sure the staff could fix that issue.

I'm hoping Dunker is available in the 3rd

Me personally, I am on Pregnon because we are going to be a run based offense. That is Kubiak's schtick and in this case it is a system fit to go Pregnon. And while pass blocking at guard can be learned, run blocking at guard is much harder to learn.

Emmanuel McNeil-Warren is a great box saftey. Great run defender but dont ask him to cover in man or a reciever.
Career forces 9 fumbles and had 5 ints.

Mel's best remaining, for what its worth:

1. Denzel Boston, WR, Washington (21)
2. Zion Young, Edge, Missouri (22)
3. CJ Allen, LB, Georgia (28)
4. Jermod McCoy, CB, Tennessee (29)
5. Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S, Toledo (33)
6. Emmanuel Pregnon, G, Oregon (34)
7. R Mason Thomas, Edge, Oklahoma (36)
8. Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State (37)
9. Jacob Rodriguez, LB, Texas Tech (38)
10. Christen Miller, DT, Georgia (39)

I just keep thinking 4th and goal from the one with Pregnon and Linderbaum.
2 maulers.
I keep thing about that wide right zone run and the cut back hole manned by Lindy and Preg

I'd love Pregnon next. Hopefully and immediate good starter on the O line.
I wish he was younger. I don't follow college closely but the players are just older than they used to be.

Does McCoy not tickle anyone's fancy?

The guy is a top 10 talent, unarguably, without injury. I know he's not our most pressing need but I've seen way too many top talent injury concern guys actually pan out rather than busting the last 10 years or so. And since our window is 2-3 years out it makes sense for us.
