I wanted Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah real bad. I liked him a lot in the draft and thought we would have to trade up to get him, but Bam he falls right into our laps and we pass. We never seem to take the linebacker I really like in the first. Damn you Clemson LB whose name escapes me at the moment due to him being such a bum. If not him Elijah Moore would of been a great pick to add some more speed to the receiver core. I didn’t even know who this guy was cause I didn’t do my usual draft study since I was busy this year. I really looked at corner, receiver, and linebacker in the first. I thought all the 1st round corners were taken except I liked Tyson Campbell out of Georgia. I really liked Kadarius Toney but he was taken. Then I wasn’t sure if any of the first round LBs would be available and the guy I think may end up being the best out the draft falls into our laps and we pass like we did last year with Patrick Queen. I just really would of liked a potential starter this year with our first round pick and this guy likely will not be unfortunately. Oh well. Hopefully we can get those 3 positions I think we need the most later in the draft. I would love to see us trade up for JOKer like we did with Baun last year, but we have to get a corner & receiver as well so who k

Putting aside the questions of durability and being too tall and low on the learning curve (all of which can become positives), the pick is a good one. Going by his college play, he is a good and potentially great DE.
There was not an obvious, "no brainer" pick at # 28.
A good DE makes your corners and safeties better, as well as just about every other position on your defense.
Less time for the QB means less time your D is on the field, and therefore more opportunities for your offense.
It's all in the dominoes, my friends.
