I hope he's a bust against us, if he wants to destroy the Bengals and Steelers I'm all for it

Makes me think we might have to go o-line.

Solomon Thomas is a good pick for them.

I hope Trubisky is the best QB from this class and Garrett becomes the biggest bust ever.  

Yes, but not until he puts the hurt on Big Ben like he promised

I expected Adams or Fornett

[Grapple Raven]

DE Solomon Thomas to the 49'ers!

 

[rossihunter2]

i just dont get adding a 3rd interior dlineman in the first round in 3 successive years - when are they all gonna play?

[JO_75]

Props to the 49ers for getting extra picks while getting who they wanted.

[darklight1216]

I don't know why Chicago thought they had to do that, but I'm glad they did. Now everyone else is going to catch QB fever.

Can you imagine the pass rush, though, if Armstead, Buckner, and Thomas all get going in a 4-3 front?

[Cville-Raven]

They need an edge rusher. Don't really get picking a interior guy.

lol im quoting myself because lance zierlein just said the exact same thing

[cobrajet]

Fournette is gonna be the Jags pick here I am sure

[ludy51]

Jax gotta be happy with where they are now

Interior pressure is more disruptive and Buckner can play outside.

i just dont get how they could have all 3 of those guys on the field at once...

[ludy51]

Wow that was quick

[JoeyFlex5]

3 picks and 2 shocks.  

i think this is definitely more shocking than trubisky. with buckner and armstead they have a clear type on the front, and 2 guys to play the 3/5 positions. honestly, where does thomas go? i mean obviously he takes armsteads spot but they now have brand new first round picks who are gonna be hitting the bench often

[Cville-Raven]

lol what if jags went QB

[Grapple Raven]

Jags picked really quickly.

 

[BmoreBird22]

Buckner at DE, Thomas at 3T, and Armstead at 1T

[rossihunter2]

id love it if jax dont go fournette because literally every media guy has had that pick locked in since forever

[JO_75]

Jaguars didn't take long to pick, has to be Fournette. Does anyone think we see a QB here for Jacksonville? Perhaps Mahome or Watson?

[52520Andrew]

49ers getting Thomas and picks is a good move for them. That front is getting some players

[GrimCoconut]

Yeah.  I like their front.  Armstead and Thomas inside and Buckner and Lynch as ends.  Not a bad group.

gotta be adams or fournette

no - they literally hired doug marrone because he convinced them he could fix bortles

Solomon Thomas would be more than interior rusher for them and would most likely play defensive end  in their 4-3 defense or maybe even some outside linebacker at times.
