He has great bend, but he will have problems with long armed tackles, he is just so short for that position. I would rather combine him with a Harris, Rivers, Watt, or Bowser. That could be a deadly combo.

Also, Foster is an excellent blitzer from between the tackles.

I do think Reddick is smart and has great character and that will play a role. Ballard is reading about the Cubs build by Epstein and this quote seemed to have an impact on Ballard.

"Theo -- baseball was getting flat in terms of the analytics and the edge that they were getting from the numbers -- so he kind of took a different approach with character," Ballard said, via ESPN's Mike Wells. "We want high-character guys that love football, that will hold each other accountable, that will be good teammates. It stuck out like a beacon light.

I would be very happy with either Foster or Reddick at 15. Otherwise, I definitely want them to move down.

My take, Davis is talented and can play in just about any system. If you ignore his injuries he should be a very good player. I think he would be best suited for a 4-3 Mike or Sam role. He is best attacking in a one gap system rather than a sit and read 3-4. You want to point him in a direction and let him go. I think he would thrive in that role, but he is talented and athletic enough to play in any system.

Somewhat reasonable scenario off the top of my head:

Broncos move up from 1.20 for McCaffrey or OL, then Texans move up from 1.25 for a QB.

Net result = 2 extra 3rds and a similar player at 1.25 that they could have had at 1.15

How many would be in favor of such a move?
Nope! Done trading with the fucking Browns. Plus, way too many holes to fill. If we were an edge rusher away from the SB, then sure, but we are far from being in that position. Need DB's, linebackers, Oline, running backs, and a competent head coach.

The only problem with the Texans moving up from 25 to 20 is that the 4 teams in front of them don't need a QB. Lions, Dolphins, Raiders, Giants.

Yeah, but they have to worry about QB-needy teams behind them leapfrogging them, such as SF, CHI, NYJ, KC. They were one pick away from Bridgewater falling to them a couple years back until the Vikings moved up.

- Ross, Mixon, Cook Rd2
- 2 QBs going top 10 (Trubisky, Mahomes?)

I can definitely see that scenario playing out.
