Literally Darnay Holmes same measurables: https://www.nfl.com/prospects/darnay-holmes/3200484f-4c51-9082-f3ad-ff2c44591d4c

4.48 40 He's 5'10 and 190 lbs. So he's Darnay Holmes 2.0. Another back end of the roster CB. 5th CB.

Elijah Jones 18 Cam Hart 67 Abrams Drain 55 Khyree Jackson 42 You know guys that didn't suck at coverage in college.

Hopefully guys who have a passer rating considerably less than 107, such as TJ Tampa with 55.

So Andru Phillips in 2023 gave up 38 completions on 57 pass attempts, for 434 yards (nearly 8 yards per pass ball thrown his way), and 3 TDs with 0 ints, for a passer rating of 107. As I look on PFF, none of the other CBs drafted so far have a passer rating above 90. So we drafted basically another 6th round CB for the beat writers to boast about again. https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/andru-phillips/124075/draft-profile

Nah, gotta be CB.

C'mon TJ Tampa!

In over 900 snaps, Runyan gave up 2 sacks per pff. In contrast, in nearly 1000 snaps Bredeson gave up 5, Pugh 8 sacks in nearly 800 snaps, Ezuedu 5 sacks in less than 300 snaps, Glowinski 5 sacks in 500 snaps.

That's what Eluemunor and Jon Runyan were brought in for, plus others for depth.

Why would we do that?

I love the pick. Safety is/was a big need to address.

This is all accurate, but also the context is one where if you're drafting a QB in rounds 1-2, you're more likely to be given a chance to start, given the team invested premium assets in your. Some guys rounds 3-7 rarely if ever get a chance to start, and the little they get might be backup work at best. For instance, the guys drafted in the top 12 this year are all going to be given a shot to start most likely at least a couple dozen games, while those in rounds 3-7 are more likely to be considered backups. I'd be interested to see it expressed not as a % drafted but as a % given a chance to start, say, >= 20 games. The current denominator is all drafted, but I'd like to see it as among those who were given a chance to start 20 or more games, or some similar threshold. Especially considering some recent drafts have been real duffers for QB's in the first round. Look at 2021-2022. Lawrence is a mid range starter, the rest are most likely backups, or maybe bottom tier starter in Fields. - Trevor Lawrence - Zach Wilson - Trey Lance - Justin Fields - Mac Jones - Kenny Pickett

Personally I want us to load up on DB's the next two rounds, but couldn't get upset with RB/OL

I agree. I just don't see any 2nd or 3rd round talent. I'd be cool if we took someone like Rattler or Pratt in the 4th. The kid from ND might be a late round steal too.

Draft priorities: S, CB, DT, TE
