When I looked at his height/weight I thought maybe a conversion to SS. DQ likes them in his D. It's a developmental kind of deal but we shall see. I am staying positive on it.

Late Day 3 and we draft for guys who can play on special teams and everyone freaks out.
I think it’s more that our picks ended up being in the dead zone between huge RB runs. I think they wanted to upgrade from BRob pretty badly and it just didn’t work out, and wasn’t worth trading up with our few picks

??? Not freaking out. I'm staying positive about it.
Pretty sure that will be less of a problem with a stud OL. And we’d just convert the 4th down anyways lol

"Sixth-year senior and team captain with two years of starting experience," wrote NFL.com's Lance Zierlein. "Medrano's long, lean frame is more reminiscent of a strong safety than a linebacker.

I want a RB as much as anybody. Robinson has been disappointing. It is sad when Ekeler is your most explosive back at his age. We really haven’t had a good back since AlMo and our last great back was Portis. And there were some good prospects. I liked the ASU and SMU guys.
So I get the disappointment, but I think all of our picks have been great athletes, good value, and good fits, so I really cannot complain about what Peters is doing.
If you're holding your breath hoping that a 6th rounder is going to step in and potentially start for a team that found its way to the NFC Championship game a year ago, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. At this juncture, it's about development, finding guys that might find a role on Special Teams, and have athletic upside that can support that development down the road. In that regard, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the pick of Medrano.

I don’t doubt that. But why not try and elevate that part of the game even more? Maybe i am just a draft curmudgeon

It's also possible that with all these running backs drafted that we'll see a ton of June cuts. Might also be true for edge though with the way teams rotate players on the DLine it's less likely.
I think we will get several decent RB's in UDFA
1. Our picks were between huge runs on RB’s (and EDGE players). Not ideal.
2. Drafting a kicker is never a slam dunk selection, they almost always fail with their original team before becoming serviceable.
You’re super salty, they can’t fix everything all at once man. We’re a good team now, you don’t have to have a tantrum when the picks don’t pan out exactly how you’d like, anymore. This isn’t Ron Rivera where any one of us could have built a better roster.
To be clear, I’m not asking you to “have faith”, it’s fine to have criticisms and voice them. I’m simply asking you to be less of a baby about it, acting like you’re criticizing absolute idiots still.

This seems accurate. My hope is that with a deep incoming RB draft, there will be some upgrade options available during camp cuts.
I think there will be some as UDFA with us a prime position for them to go
