Pearce higher be price it when you find yourself giving up a future first-round choose.
Cowboys choose OG Tyler Booker
Booker fills a large want on the Cowboys’ offensive line, however it’s a query of worth. In case you are taking a guard with the No. 12 choose within the draft, you higher be getting a Larry Allen, Alan Faneca or Steve Hutchinson clone in that spot. It higher be any person that may rework the place and have a Corridor of Fame profession forward of him.
Is Booker that form of participant? Time will inform, however for proper now it appears just a little excessive simply primarily based on positional worth.
Seahawks choose OG Gray Zabel
Every little thing that was simply mentioned about Booker additionally applies right here to Zabel going to Seattle. Virtually word-for-word.
Sure, the Seahawks desperately wanted to improve their line, and particularly on the inside, however guards within the high half of the draft simply appear to be questionable worth given a number of the influence positions which are nonetheless out there. Good guards will be discovered later.
Raiders take RB Ashton Jeanty
That is merely a query of whether or not or not that is the suitable spot for Jeanty. He deserves to be a excessive choose and he needs to be a excessive choose. He’s the most effective operating again on this class and in the suitable scenario could possibly be a right away influence participant.
However do the Raiders have sufficient on offense round him to permit him to excel, and had been there different positions they might have checked out on this spot to make the crew higher?
The Raiders appeared to have taken the fallacious classes from the influence gamers like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry had on their groups throughout the 2024 season.
These groups didn’t excel as a result of they discovered the suitable operating backs, these backs excelled as a result of they had been put onto the suitable groups. The operating backs weren’t one of many beginning factors of the offense, they had been the ultimate piece of the puzzle.
The Raiders predict Jeanty to be one of many first key constructing blocks and one of many first beginning factors. That doesn’t at all times work out properly.
