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.

Ok, we have all talked about our desire to trade down and pick up additional picks. Which I'm all for BTW!

But how many would be in favor of trading up to get the once in a lifetime talent of Myles Garrett?

What would it take to do so? At least this years 1st and next years 1st at a minimum, I would expect. But how much more?

How many would be in favor of such a move?

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

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.

Latest buzz:

- Foster falls to "Myles Jack" range
- Ross, Mixon, Cook Rd2
- 2 QBs going top 10 (Trubisky, Mahomes?)

I can definitely see that scenario playing out.
