But it’s crazy a zone heavy defense hasn’t taken him. Must be plenty of big time question marks with his knee.


Emmanwori over starks also. He’s a freak. Can’t believe he’s still out there

I thought Emmanwori was a 2nd round talent. Not surprised Starks went first.


Agreed on this. I was so prepared for Kwesi to take Emmanwori.

I mean with how this night played out, i actually would’ve preferred that outcome haha. But ya I haven’t seen 1st round talent with Emmanwori.

I think Starks is very scheme dependent. But I think he fits BAL extremely well.

No better time to be an OL or DL. Every team saw Philly just dominate the Chiefs on both sides of the line. No shock we saw OL and DL get paid big this offseason. And now teams are reaching hard in this draft for both positions.

Good teams having a good OL is not something new. There just happens to be a lot of good OL at the top of this draft.

I like this pick for Buffalo. It’s a high risk, high reward move for Buffalo.

But the dude is a freak athlete, even compared to other DBs. If he hits, big win for Buffalo. They’re in the position to take these kinds of big swings.

What does Philly need? Do they go with someone like Luther Burden here?

It’s more so the willingness by front offices to spend big money and 1st round picks on interior play. I think no better example for this is with Seattle and Scheineder.

It was well known by like everyone that Scheineder didn’t think it was good value to spend early draft capital and money on interior OL. Vikings have been the same way for over a decade.

You usually don’t see teams reaching for interior OL in the 1st round.

They somehow continue to land these highly viewed Georgia/Bama dudes on defense. And it keeps working out for them.

Jihaad was my draft crush. If he was healthy, he would've gone much earlier.

No team traded up to get Sanders in the 1st to get that extra team option year on the rookie deal.

Goes to show the hype for him was mainly media driven

Jihaad Campbell is a good pick. Philly is not really known for taking off ball LB’s that high. This guy can play and should make their defense scarier.

Ya not shocked he dropped some. But didn’t think it would be this late.

But ya saw plenty of interviews and stories on him over the last couple months. Hard not to like this dude with his game and personality
