Troy Andersen is the first LB to go, a bit of an upset

Andersen has an RAS of 10.0 and has huge upside. He's a former quarterback and last year was his first full year as a linebacker and he had over 140 tackles.

The sky's the limit for this guy.

Some dweeb named Chris Trapasso at CBS offered this analysis:

52. Steelers: George Pickens, WR, Georgia
Grade: A

There's the Pittsburgh Round 2 WR. Pickens has first-round talent and first-round film. Tall, long, sudden, enormous catch radius. Nasty demeanor on the field. Torn ACL and maybe some maturity issues knocked him down the board. True WR1 capabilities.

53. Colts: Alec Pierce, WR, Cincinnati
Grade: C+

Prototypical Colts pick. They love the size/athleticism specimens, and Pierce rocked his combine workout. Big, tall, explosive. Routes are a little rounded. Change-of-direction a bit stiff. Plays decently big downfield. Minimal YAC capabilities.

54. Chiefs: Skyy Moore, WR, Western Michigan
Grade: A+

Absolute stud. Does everything well. Only knock is he's a touch under 5-10. Destroys press coverage. Lightning-quick routes. Bounces off tacklers after the catch. Huge catch radius. Will be an instant star with Patrick Mahomes.

Chad Muma, Chenal or Raimann would be great for the Bills here

The fact that Raimann has 32 7/8" arms instead of the 33" "threshold" may have scared away teams. That 1/8 inch must be very significant.

Just a false metric they use. They fail to mention on the long armed blacks that amount to nothing in the league.

Mel Kiper just called Karlaftis "a try hard rotational rusher off the edge."

Ridiculous that Muma and Chenal haven't been picked yet.

On the other hand, neither has Malik Willis aka Kordell 2.0. Clearly the NFL still has "vestiges of racism" when it comes to Black QBs.

I thought Willis was the next Vick LOL. So many "experts" had him going high in the first round. I wonder if he will be like Jevan Snead. McGay hyped him up 15 years ago or so and he ended up undrafted.

Jags get a White center. I didn't think he would go until round 4.

Vikings get a black LB from Oklahoma. Trash

Watching on NFL network they only had good things to say about Luke Fortner. Doesn’t happen very often!

Howell, Strong, Corral should be coming up as well.

NFL is clearly overrating next year's black quarterback Class.

Vrabel has pretty much been a disappointment.

Yea. He's a caste clown as is his college teammate and Bearcats head coach Luke Fickell. Both disciples of the post-Tressell Ohio State team building philosophy.
