Pearce higher be value it if you find yourself giving up a future first-round decide.
Cowboys choose OG Tyler Booker
Booker fills a large want on the Cowboys’ offensive line, however it’s a query of worth. If you’re taking a guard with the No. 12 decide within the draft, you higher be getting a Larry Allen, Alan Faneca or Steve Hutchinson clone in that spot. It higher be someone that may rework the place and have a Corridor of Fame profession forward of him.
Is Booker that form of participant? Time will inform, however for proper now it appears just a little excessive simply based mostly on positional worth.
Seahawks choose OG Gray Zabel
All the pieces that was simply stated about Booker additionally applies right here to Zabel going to Seattle. Nearly word-for-word.
Sure, the Seahawks desperately wanted to improve their line, and particularly on the inside, however guards within the prime half of the draft simply appear to be questionable worth given a few of the impression positions which can be nonetheless accessible. Good guards may be discovered later.
Raiders take RB Ashton Jeanty
That is merely a query of whether or not or not that is the best spot for Jeanty. He deserves to be a excessive decide and he ought to be a excessive decide. He’s the most effective operating again on this class and in the best scenario could possibly be an instantaneous impression participant.
However do the Raiders have sufficient on offense round him to permit him to excel, and had been there different positions they might have checked out on this spot to make the crew higher?
The Raiders appeared to have taken the improper classes from the impression gamers like Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry had on their groups throughout the 2024 season.
These groups didn’t excel as a result of they discovered the best operating backs, these backs excelled as a result of they had been put onto the best groups. The operating backs weren’t one of many beginning factors of the offense, they had been the ultimate piece of the puzzle.
The Raiders expect Jeanty to be one of many first key constructing blocks and one of many first beginning factors. That doesn’t all the time work out nicely.
