Not a lot of great players in this year's draft. But I like our first 2 picks.

I'm with you. Warren is a home run, but most of our other picks have been pretty much meh with the only other immediate need filled being RB2/3. Huge fail on Ballard's part to not have upgraded an of LB, DT depth, and possibly OG by now.

Running back DJ Giddens looks like a pretty good pick in the 5th round.

From Walter Football:

Giddens was a tough runner for the Wildcats in 2024. He averaged 6.6 yards per carry for 1,343 yards with seven touchdowns. Giddens also caught 21 passes for 258 yards with a touchdown. Team sources say that Giddens could sneak into the second day of the draft, and he looks like a quality mid-round pick.

Yep. Hopefully there's some decent DTs still available, or at least better than Taven Bryan (which shouldn't be hard to find).

Hopefully we can bring in a decent off ball LB as well. Ballard is putting way too much faith in Carlies IMO.

I’m shocked that we didn’t pick a linebacker. I guess we will be signing a few of them as UDFAs.

This years draft class has me a little underwhelmed overall, i am excited with the Warren, Travis and Giddens picks, I am ok with the Tuimoloau selection but not thrilled, the rest I am really not sure about.
CB Walley i don't see where he fits into the rotation, especially if Brents is able to stay healthy. He might be the primary backup slot corner. But is he going to be active on game day? Ward and Jones are likely to be the starters outside, Moore in the slot, then Brents and Womack are going to battle with Walley.

Riley, just seems a complete waste of a pick to me. I don't see him ever being an NFL calibre passer.

Tim Smith will hopefully fill in as the backup NT, but I am not so sure he is ready for this role this year and i was hoping for an earlier selection at this position.

Wohler at safety i don't think he will see any game time, could he be converted to LB? As a 7th round pick not expecting too much from any player this late in the draft.
