Mason Graham getting some top 10 hype.

Derrick Harmon, Tyleik Williams, Walter Nolen and Kenneth Grant are also names that I've seen bandied about as high picks.
 
I am actually really hoping we invest a high pick in DL. I would really like to see this position get some more talent.

If you can't get outside rush, you might as well invest in more interior rush. The tape on the year says Madubuike took a step back, but also commanded a lot more attention and paid the price in the stat book. Jones is a force of nature but isn't some heavy sack guy. If you add interior rush there, it should theoretically make both of those guys better.

clearly the front office agreed given how they were trying to swing a trade for calais campbell

and it's a really good looking class at DL so far

I really like Walter Nolen - in fact one of the first players in this class who properly drew my attention when i was watching

I also think it may be easier to help the edge guys if we can get pressure on the interior. I hope we can get some guys at Edge and we need them, but I wouldn't hate drafting a high-end DL in Round 1 and an Edge in Round 2 if it happens. I need to research the DL class though as I haven't had a lot of time to really look into anyone here.

Not like Chris Joneses just grow on trees, but that's what the Chiefs have going for them. They have okay to good edge rushers, but that whole defensive front runs around Jones and his ability to rush from the inside (and sometimes the outside honestly).

Aaron Donald says hello as well

This is legitimately true. I’d love to get our own Chris Jones
 
I do not understand the hype behind deone walker. He stands straight up and often gets washed or ends up on the ground.
 
Man this DT class is definitely my favorite group this draft.

Real high on:
Kenneth grant
Derrick Harmon
Tj sanders
Omarr Norman Lott
Alfred Collins
Rylie mills

Iffy on:
Walter Nolen
Tyleik Williams


Dislike:
Deone walker

I love walter nolen lol

I don’t dislike him at all, I think he’s got some serious development to do as a rusher though, he needs to rush with a plan and do something other than just trying to play through blocks, what I see on film doesn’t look like something that’s gonna translate to the next level as it currently is, very little disengage happening

that's not what i see at all - i see a guy who bends and rips through the hands working in the gaps

Harmon would be an amazing get, but I don't see him still there unless he bombs at the combine. Nolen would be a good pickup but a little later in the draft as a traits guy to coach up.
 
Walter Nolen would be a potentially good pickup if we're wanting more pass rush in the middle. His length worries me a little, but can always do stunts or other moves to give him better lanes to pass rush.
 
Jordan Phillips looks like a really good rotational piece. A huge nose tackle with heavy hands, and a surprising burst off the line. He's the type that won't get many stats, but make the whole defense better when he's on the field.
