7. Jordan Tyson
8. Carnell Tate

I really hope Love doesn’t end up in Tennessee

No worries there. TITS take Carnell Tate. They will forever be losers.

Rams take Ty Simpson so that takes them off the trade potential for AR

I find that perplexing for a win now team with a 1-2 year window to not use that capital to help win a SB now.

For not having a first round pick, I can't imagine Day 1 having gone better for the Colts. Titans and Texans both burned draft capital to reach for players, only 13 defensive players were taken, and there's a ton of talent left on the board at WR and CB, which means we should see a very high quality EDGE or LB at 47 or in the 50s after a trade back.

And not one player taken after the Jets pick at 16 is even close to having Sauce as our pick
