I misread 3 (28) on ESPN draft tracker and didn't notice the 3 next to it, saw a 2. But it's also not the overall pick number but that round's overall pick.
ESPN has Mesidor just higher than Faulk at #3 edge to #4 edge and 18th to 25th overall. Graded Mesidor at 88 to 87 for Faulk.
Faulk - is talented against the run and pass, possessing the tools to be successful at the next level. He has the strength and power to play on the edge and slide down inside, but is better suited on the edge. Faulk is very long, which keeps blockers off his frame. His vertical rush speed beats offensive tackles over the top, and he is savvy shedding blocks. When he can't get to the QB, Faulk will get his hands up, cluttering throwing windows and batting down balls. Occasionally, he will miss run fits. He consistently plays with a high motor. -- Scouts Inc.
Mesidor - plays with violent hands, making it difficult for pass blockers to land cleanly while he uses his upper body strength to knock them off balance. He excels as pass rusher off the edge but also has the ability to be effective when working inside. He has good fluidity and multiple pass rush moves in his repertoire. Against the run, Mesidor is an outstanding defender who generates explosive power at the point of attack to knock blockers back. He does a good job of striking, disengaging and locating the ball. -- Scouts Inc.

Mesidor or Keionte Scott would be steals
Whoa! Dallas traded with Philly. They're gonna take Lemon, won't they? Or maybe Mesidor?
Lemon to Eagles! AJ Brown must be gone.
Dallas dropped three spots and gained two fourth round picks for that move, not bad.
Rams fans, fancy sending us Giants Stafford? Ye obviously don't need him.
Don’t feck this up Jerry
Dammmm
Dallas may take McCoy and that terrifies me. Saw something the other day that some teams are concerned his knee is gonna be an issue for rest of his life. Four teams flagged him and one dropped him off their board. Some medical opinions cited another surgery likely due to a plug procedure he had. https://www.profootballnetwork.com/...prise-medical-concerns-cloud-nfl-draft-stock/
Maybe they go edge with Faulk or Young. Or take Terrell if they cover a corner, going with known health.

What. The. Feck.
They left like a half-dozen higher rated edge guys on the table. We shall see how this works.

Happy with the pick.
I'm guessing the amount of trades towards the end meant the offers for pick 32 weren't as high as hoped, only got three more picks currently. Not at all surprised who we selected though, hopefully Price can carry most of the load until Charbonnet is back to help out.
Damn, Giants went full positional value tonight. Never thought about Reese dropping to them. Pretty crowded LB room, surely Kayvon will be traded, although Harbaugh already stated Reese will play ILB.
Pretty bummed out Cowboys got Downs.

Last time we traded with the Boys we got Devonta and they got Parsons so hoping that Lemon can continue the trend.
As I always say, there is a reason bad teams are bad. All the holes n the roster, the number 3 overall pick and you take a rb. That’s just so dumb.Love at 3. Cardinals stay terrible.
Having to wait till June for the AJ Brown trade for finally happen is painful
A few years back we picked up a Miami d-lineman who fell in the draft due to external issues. Hopefully we see similar success from this kid.
Hey man, I mean, come one, look at how Saquon carried that terrible Giants team to a... uuhm... playoff berth in his 5th season, I guess?
And that's with Barkley being a generational talent, which we're not quite convinced about with Love imo. The pick is just inexcusable, no idea what they are thinking or how a full group of people actually agree on that pick, fecking hell.
Still think the blue chip players of this draft are on the defensive side of the ball: Reese, Styles, Downs.
I get abiding by the ‘you don’t get fired for drafting hall of famers’ line in a draft like this, but not in the Cards’ context at 3. At that slot he already has the most guaranteed money of any RB I believe. The 3/5 round picks and two 4s picked up shortly later in small jumps don’t look sexy but they would matter to a team full of holes.
It feels like ‘important voices in the building’ getting their way as rumored prior to.

Taking a running back at #3 is almost certainly crazy when they need, well, basically everything. However, having seen the drop off from Conner to the various other shitters last year, I almost understand the urge to do it. If they couldn't get a decent package to trade back, there are probably worse things you could do in an otherwise pretty weak-seeming draft class.
Enjoying Love's highlights. Just tanking his way through 4 defenders completely unprotected. Turning a TFL on the 30 yard line into a TD. At least he doesn't look like a guy who has been carried by his O-line. Looking forward to some fun plays breaking out while we go 5-12 if we're lucky anyway...

Apparently the Steelers were on the phone with Lemon telling him they'd draft him at #21, meanwhile the Eagles were trading up to the Cowboys' spot at #20 to draft Lemon
Always a good sign when Dolphins first pick is a seemingly overweight OT who spends a decent part of his interview talking about his love of doughnuts.
Still a decent start on paper. Hoping we get a decent WR in the next round but otherwise liking the look of the restructure and everything Hafley is saying

You're apparently paying him $50m in guaranteed money. If you really wanted a RB, could've just signed Kenneth Walker for half of that in guarantees in FA, who we already *know* is a good RB in the league, and still draft a blue chip player at #3 on a rookie contract. Not to mention you also already signed Allgeier who's far from a bad back as well.
I hate my life! (I am a PIT fan.) Let's hope this OT project turns out better than the last one...Apparently the Steelers were on the phone with Lemon telling him they'd draft him at #21, meanwhile the Eagles were trading up to the Cowboys' spot at #20 to draft Lemon
Year on year the league proves you can find good running backs for not a lot of money in FA. If Arizona were just looking for a cherry on top then id get it. As it stands though...
So KC get 3 picks for Trent McDuffie and blow those 3 picks essentially for DeLane? While not drafting any WR or beef up their Oline?
Kermit ain’t touching that 4th ring anytime soon, if he comes back the same, that is.

They have invested lots (picks and money) into their oline. I don't think it's their biggest need.
And their QB still get pummelled on the regular. It’s a pretty thin draft overall so I get that maybe getting a stud corner to replace McDuffie makes sense, but trading up for it while their WR room is Rashee Scumbag Rice, a gadget guy like Worthy and whoever they scrape from FA, and ancient Kelce at TE? If not the Oline then surely those need to be looked at, or even a potential Chris Jones successor.
At this point I’m fairly confident that they won’t make the AFCCG this season. They are better than their record last year but this is a 10-7 ish team who is likely to lose in the Wildcard or Divisional.
He gets pummelled a lot because of his back yard football routine too
I can't believe that Titans fans running joke was actually true.
This is so crazy
The Rams pick is absolutely wild. I can't get my head around it at all for a team in their Superbowl window. Crazy decision
It was funny seeing the Pittsburgh crowd pretend to be hyped about a mid round o-line fatty.
I find draft stuff very irrelevant tbh, it's almost impossible to predict what will happen with most of these guys. It's just such a bizarre scene thoughStop rubbing it in!
It's simply so stupid from PIT. They obviously wanted Lemon (the were on the phone with him), they need a WR and they have 12(!) picks this year. Surely it was possible to trade up one spot. Couldn't have been too expensive since DAL would've probably prefered to deal with them instead of their rivals.
feel bad for sadiq. obviously the cowboys killed it. rest of the picks are kinda meh.
If they wanted a QB surely they have been better trying to get a trade for a 2027 first and doing it then, unless they are worried about Stafford this year
