I think there are some interesting fits.

Evans is going to be paired with Orakpo, Morgan, & Woodyard as LBs.

Ridley & Julio sound like a very fun duo. Sark kind of weakens that though.

Washington Redskins are turning into Bama.

Fitz getting drafted to Miami. Brady is getting older. Jets & Bills drafted two rookie QBs. He also gets paired Reshad Jones. This duo can be very similar to Chancellor & Thomas in Seattle, IMO.

Evans. I think he'll be great in that defense.

He is going to be Vrabel's baby. I love it.

Da'Ron Payne going to the Redskins is intriguing. This is a division with Elliot, Ajayi, and now Barkley. Redskins biggest achilles on defense IMO has been their run defense, and they've been bulking it up the past 3 years. Joining Allen, who was having a solid year before injury, will be fun to watch. Hopefully Anderson can break out too, because he was a force as well.

It's a good spot for him.

I think Ridley might be in a better position, though. He's stepping into one of the more dynamic offenses in the league. He can step right in to something that's already working.

On another note, obviously, the Josh Allen pick doesn't bode well for AJ.

I’m a Dolphins fan. I’m beyond happy we were able to get Minkah.

Allen is raw, he'll need time before/if he becomes a consistent starter.

AJ is in a great position to show whether he is a career long backup or a starter. Worst case he can take his 6 million and then return home. Hoping he has what it takes to be successful as a NFL QB. We'll see soon.

Titans Welcome Rashaan Evans

Here's a cool inside look into the Titans' ownership and Vrabel calling Rashaan to let him know they're picking him.

Honestly, I like the situation all of our first rounders stepped into. None of them is going to be expected to be a star from day 1 and they are all going to places where they will get to learn from talented vets.

Wasn't his contract $10 million for 2 years? Either way, he'll be okay. Hopefully experience will give him an edge for the job.

I honestly think they are all really nice fits, but Evans in Nashville is probably my favorite. He's a very versatile backer. They were about middle of the road defense overall that struggled at times stopping the run.
