2022 NFL Draft thread - Day 3 discussion - Rounds 4, 5, 6 and 7

After a great day 2 kind of a meh day 3:

I really like the Curtis Brooks pick.

Eric Johnson seems like a head scratcher, but we needed DTs, he probably showed some things we liked at the Senior Bowl, and Ballard seems to hit pretty well on the small school head scratchers.

Andrew Ogletree is an even bigger head scratcher unless we're looking to dump Granson. I suppose we can keep an extra TE if he works out, but guessing we probably won't. Would have liked for us to have drafted Bo Melton (Rutgers WR) or an OG here.

Rodney Thomas II - Don't know much about him. Would have liked for us to have drafted Carson Strong here, but since he's dropped this far and seems like he's going to go undrafted then maybe there's some issues with his knee.

TE seems like a PS hold that could eventually replace MAC if he works out.

The problem with that is if the guy shows well in the preseason then he's likely to get picked up when he's released before you can sign him to the PS. Just seems like a waste of a draft pick taking someone who doesn't have much chance to make the 53 man roster.

That is also a testament to the depth we have. When you are drafting in the 7th round you gotta draft for something, Ballard likes athletic traits. Seems as good as anything

6th round, and we're not as deep at other positions as we now are at TE since we drafted 2 of them. There's a lot of other positions where we're not as deep and/or will likely keep more than 3 players on the active roster: OL, DL, WR, CB, RB, QB.

At any rate if the worst thing about this draft is that a 6th round TE doesn't make the roster and signs elsewhere then we had a really good draft.
