Or you know, they just took BPA. We're not in a position to be drafting for need (and frankly we should never draft for need and always take the BPA).


I 100% think they took BPA. If you had plans to move Poeltl I'm not so sure you have that luxury is all.

Agree that he's a great pick. But I'm not sure what you mean by "a bigger Dick".

Gradey measured out at the combine at 6'6.25" and 204 pounds, and has already put on weight. Walter was 6'4.25" and 197.

Or do you mean "bigger" in terms of impact on the team?


Maybe Walter grew because even without the hair he looks more like 6'5-6'6.


Either way, Gradey is and always will be taller. Also, there's no way Walter grew 2 inches in 6 months.

If you account for his wingspan he is bigger than Gradey.
