3.86 Houston Texans - Cedric Gray LB North Carolina
He was on my short list. I haven't drafted D; Dallas's weakness. I don't have a 4th rounder. Spent that offensively on more offense for Trey Lance. I looked into trading down and didn't like the value of the value chart. 6th and 7th round extra picks just aren't that interesting. I know I know, Brock Purdy, but that' so rare. I know I can't magically pick the best player available, so I work from a list of potential bpas based on a consensus of big boards and my own observations. With Gray gone there's one defensive player on that list and 5 offensive players. I guess it's just the nature of this class so...
so torn between the bigger need at RB and this deep deep wr class...
and somewhat crazy maybe my favorite player remaining is another OL... 3 straight? haha
nah, not doing that...
torn because my other two favorites are a wr and an rb...
i've praised the receiver and rb here pretty highly...
there's about as many potentially good receivers gonna fall to the 5th as there are rbs...
stream of consciousness pick...
i guess i want the receiver and trust a late round rb to be more helpful after not having a 4th rounder...
3.87 Jalen McMillan, WR, Washington
this guy was neck and neck with Odunze two seasons ago. two games into last season he had two more receptions and one more td than Odunze... and hurt his knee. he's not better than Odunze, but he's really good. as good a route runner as there is in this draft not named Harrison. better than Polk who stepped in for him, the knee injury cost him over half the season, but it wasn't serious enough to shut him down, so no worries there.
Cooks is old. Tolbert is developing. Turpin is a gadget. McMillan could be WR2 in Dallas very soon.
