2 year deal and he spends the first 4 games or so on suspension/ injury each year. I do hope this guy pans out.

That was the CB Hadden that had the shoulder injury

Works out even better as I thought we would have used our 7th on him.

Add some weight and he will be a good one.

I love this draft. We are so much better in speed with Xavier and Hollywood FA signing. We drafted a good pass catching TE to develop with Kelce. OT was addressed and the IOL at G with Smith coming up on FA year then Thuney the following. Still think we go after an OT after cuts just in case but I can see DT for sure. The offense is younger, faster and more reliable for weapons now for Mahomes to go along with a very young defense. The Safety pick will allow us to see him and let Reid walk of need be. Veach always playing ahead of the game and if you are in a contract year and they draft your position....... We only lost Sneed on defense really in FA and replaced him with one pick that was very good value and very similar in height, weight, arm length, hands etc. Looking back at Sneeds strength and weaknesses and we can see how well they compared. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/l'jarius-sneed/3200534e-4523-7684-351f-445a251aa795 https://www.nfl.com/prospects/kamal-hadden/32004841-4423-0716-2b52-5ce6bc2fb341

Well if one of the G picks does well I think it shows we are looking to let Smith possibly walk. Creed and Bolton I hope resign in season.

DT Fabien Lovett Sr. FOLLOW 6'4" 314 lbs Florida State 22 POS RK 216 OVR RK 49 GRADE Pre-Draft Analysis Lovett is a three-time team captain with the size and strength to anchor even though he plays high. He has outstanding length and can press blockers off his frame. He was more consistent getting off blocks, locating the ball and making plays on his 2023 tape than in 2022. With powerful hands, Lovett flashes the ability to push the pocket and uses his long arms to get his hands up in passing windows rushing the passer. -- Steve Muench

Grab him and develop. See what he can do when asked to take on blockers and learn from Spags. Has the long arms he covers on the d line.

He set up a GoFundMe account to help with medical expenses, raising almost double his $10,000 goal. -- by Chad Reuter Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 5 NFL Comparison Eddie Goldman Overview Lovett is a wide-bodied, two-gapping impediment to running attacks looking to impose their will between the tackles. He blends long arms, big hands and a powerful lower half to withstand double-teams and leverage his gap with consistency. He lacks the snap quickness to disrupt in gaps or attack the pocket as a rusher, so his blue-collar toughness can't be quantified by box-score scouting. He understands his job is to bring the work to whomever may be in front of him. His run-plugging talent could create early playing time for him at nose for 4-3 or 3-4 stop units. Strengths Movements are compact, balanced and powerful. Has the talent and technique to split double-teams and leverage his gap. Carries a tree stump for a base, forcing blockers to slide off their sustain. Quick punch and extension allow him to control single blocks. Heavy hands should give him the ability to improve as a pass rusher. High football character with desire to help his team. Weaknesses Relatively pedestrian production in impact categories. Doesn't come off the ball with much quickness. Needs less fist-fighting and quicker discards versus the block. Below-average lateral quickness to counter zone blocks. Plodding feet likely to keep him off the field on pass rush downs.

More of a 3 technique guy? Need a 1 tech to line up next to Jones to take on the runners and double teams. I mean if they can get him line up next to Jones and play it well, on passing downs especially, then I am all for it. I want a guy to play all 3 downs if possible. Don't know much about what he was asked or can do for Miami.

I am not mad at all going S and CB. Keep the flow of young and athletic guys coming to learn from and develop into players. Allows us to make those tough decisions of who we keep when their first year contracts are up. I do wish we would get a DT though. Overall we did get great value in area of need at WR and LT. We got depth at OG/C if Smith does not get resigned. A good TE to learn from Kelce with a huge pass radius and them there are the depth and youth in the secondary. Next year of who we resign or go afternin FA I think DT may be priority 1.

Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 6 Overview Big cover corner with the athletic talent and skill set to employ in a variety of coverages. Hadden has the feet and strength to redirect routes from press but can be a little tight in his transitions when trying to simply mirror and match the release. He anticipates route breaks with timing and steams in to break up throws. The ball skills are fine, but there can be too much panic and grab once he falls behind because of his subpar deep speed. Hadden has good size and ball skills and improved his coverage squeeze in 2023. He has the length to annoy receivers from press and can sit back and read routes from zone, but he may need to be protected by scheme due to a lack of speed. Strengths Well-built with good length and strength outside. Bounces and slides for extended mirror and match from press. Sticky feet for stop-start action in vertical-route phase. Much more agile and sticky with his man coverage in 2023. Tracks and adjusts to deep ball from shuffle and constricts catch space. Anticipates breaks from off-man and charges into the throwing lane. Voracious in attacking perimeter blocks on quick screens. Weaknesses Season-ending shoulder injury will need to be vetted. Allows vertical separation from his shuffle technique. Plays with some hip tightness that limits fluid transitions with the route. Can be too content to hold or interfere when coverage panic sets in. Effort level can be very spotty as a run defender and tackler.

CB Kamal Hadden FOLLOW 6'1" 196 lbs Tennessee 24 POS RK 177 OVR RK 55 GRADE Pre-Draft Analysis Hadden can read receivers, has his eyes on the quarterback and breaks on the ball in off-coverage. He shows good instincts and awareness passing off routes in zone looks. Hadden also has the ability to disrupt receivers getting off the line in press coverage. Although he has smaller hands, he can pluck the ball out of the air -- he intercepted five passes over the past two seasons. -- Steve Muench

Nourzad. https://www.nfldraftbuzz.com/Player/Hunter-Nourzad-OL-Cornell

Kingsley call from the chiefs on drafting him. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/xyNWcHi6LkFNfNX8/?mibextid=xCPwDs

Now need a DT. I would double up on DT the next 2 picks. Boyd is one I hope is still there. A better Nnadi for sure in year 1 I bet with taking up blocks and stuffing the run. Pre-Draft Analysis Boyd is a combine snub who fires off the ball, shoots his hands and knocks blockers back on contact. He has outstanding upper-body strength, presses blockers off his frame, locates the ball and sheds in time to make the play. He can occupy double-teams and help keep his linebackers clean. Boyd is big and strong with a low center of gravity, and while he doesn't have great change-of-direction skill or closing burst, he chases the quarterback with good effort. -- Steve Muench

Pre-Draft Analysis Nourzad started 20 games at right tackle at Cornell, started at center for Penn State the past two seasons and played some guard in 2022. He's at his best climbing and combo-blocking to the second level. He can pull around the corner and lead block. And Nourzad digs in and anchors against bull-rushers in pass protection. He has the length, quickness and size to develop into an effective interior pass-blocker. -- Steve Muench

There is our Guard. Who can play center too and has versatility that played RT too.

Need DT or G imo now. Unless they know they can resign Smith along with Bolton and Creed..... I am surprised Wingo is still there at DT. Boyd is a guy we had meeting with too. No idea on G but BPA available per ESPN is a guy who played RG mostly and RT, Laumea.
