Draft Breakdown is gone unfortunately. It was damn nice being able to find so many vids in one place. The last couple years i've just been using youtube and this
Which one is this?

After Thomas, you're venturing down a road of guys who are limited athletically, don't belong on the left side, or don't have enough experience at the CFB level that proves they're worth a shot.
Bama's LT, Leatherwood, has one year experience at LT. 2019.
Iowa's RT, Wirfs, has mostly been at RT except injury replacement.
Washington LT, Trey Adams, has had some injuries and surgeries I lost count.
Bama's RT, Willis, belongs inside at RG.
want me to go on ?
This class, As A Whole, is WEAK. end of story.
We need a RT way more than a LT. Heck I would be OK moving Decker to RT if we draft Thomas but if not there are some decent RTs.
It never hurts to protect your franchise player by drafting a CFB LT that has proven his skill set at that level only, to date, but projects to the same side at the NFL whereas you can let said drafted player battle it out with the incumbent.
Of course we need defensive players from the upcoming draft but if the opportunity arises to draft an Elite CFB LT then that's smart business.
I want talented defensive players just as much as anyone on this board does. Furthermore, I rarely look to draft an Offensive player in the 1st round outside of QB or elite OL.
I like this site but keep in mind that almost all these folks are writers and the few who are not have never been decent scouts or they would be working for a team.

If we are picking third. It is not out of the realm that Burrow and Tua go top 2. Hell, maybe even Herbert if he lights up his bowl game as well.
No thats backwords the scouts want to be the guys on writing and on TV, scouts are an entry level position and don't make squat
Same here but we aint winning diddly without Staff. I think everyone would agree with that. He cant keep getting pounded and last an entire season anymore.
which is why you draft a player like Thomas in order to protect Stafford. (the highlighted)
I agree we aren't winning without Stafford.
Pass rushers do not solely come from a QB's blind side. They come from anywhere on the defensive LOS or second level LB. Von Miller, Bosa brothers, DeMarcus Lawrence, JJ Watt, Clowney, Clark aren't solely coming off the RDE. You must have talented OT on both sides.
I find it absolutely laughable, nearly comical, that some think this team only needs a Chase Young or a CB1 like Okudah (you're only getting one of those two, maybe, at the top) and all the defensive problems are solved or that protecting Stafordf can be done with just any old CFB RT.
BTW, LT Thomas isn't a surefire draft pick either but he's arguably the very best this year.
If you are the Lions the pass rush does not come from anywhere.
I don't think one guy fixes the defense, but it is a start, and at some point they need to fix it
1). I'm rarely on board for drafting offense. we needed those picks in Decker/Ragnow and I'm elated with those two.
2). I know you weren't coming across as Young is a solve all. He's desperately needed for this team. He's like no other talent at DE in this entire draft. The point that MP doesn't currently employ a pass rush or pressure or blitz all that much still remains.
3). CFB CB are more in-line to bust no matter how elite they've played collegiately than elite CFB LT and the latter comes with the restriction that they're played more in a Pro-style than say WSU, TTU etc.
I know Simmons probably won't happen because he is not a larger Linebacker, but I think that pick would fix more holes on the defense than any other pick. He fits so many needs. He is the Hill I will die on in this draft.
