From the way the analyst talk you could get a high end DT in the 20s and could realistically get a solid starter in Round 4. That's not even factoring in that the DB depth seems better this year vs. last. I think this is all pointing to a Higgins coming back on Tag at min. You can dump the salary cap on him and realistically grab some key defensive pieces. Just spit balling based on what the dudes are saying

Getting carried away with all the influx of draft info. My early take is there will be a good DL prospect in the 1st and 2nd round. Which leads them to tagging/extending Tee for 2025.

One thing mentioned about him was he's so quick off the ball AND he slashes so much eventually he'll guess wrong and gets washed out of the play. So you are going to get a mix of big and not so great plays. I was very impressed with the Tenn DT at the Senior Bowl Norman-Lott. Right now he's got the development, 4th round tag on him. Nolen has a slightly higher draft prospect grade on him than last year's favorite Newton. Just searching around this appears to be a more talented and deeper selection of DTs this year. Hopefully they can land one.

OT: This guy has made a lot of "standout" lists.

CB: Kentucky CB got a lot of praise from NFL Network guys.

WR: Several outlets.

Interior DL From NFL.com and now various sources: FYI: From the coverage I watched the Tenn DT was very impressive. Darius Alexander from Toledo a mountain of a man. Had a good showing on Day 2. I'd expect to see him on "winners" list from several people.

Edge: From NFL.com

Tight Ends are impressive group. Write up from NFL.com

Hate to say it, but solid TE draft class this year. All looked like a player and it sucks his knee gave out again. The recovery/rehab of those is tiresome.

Interior O Line Nuggets: Jax State guard (Webb) was very impressive from what I watched. Overall the Interior DL was very good thus alot of interior oline guys struggled. Other odds and in from around the webb: North Dakota players impressed just about everyone.

Starting if off with Bengals.com nugget. Once again the coaches aren't scouting in depth as in former years at the Senior Bowl games.

Overall explosive Interior DL seem to be deep this year at the Senior Bowl.

Looking good at the Senior Bowl so far.

Ultimately the judge of what makes sense will be in the season results. Lou had no shortage of pointing the finger a communication issues, guys not ready etc. Went through cycles of blaming/benching bona fide starting NFL players. Also, Murphy and Battle were buried on the depth chart week 1 of TC. Defense in training camp had the world believing Burrow was washed up (right before a MVP caliber season). Defense played great in shared training camp practices by all reports. Interject game planning etc. They couldn't stop shit with any consistency during the entire season. So maybe there is something to practicing with a purpose not just having extended field trips during OTAs? The health of Burrow during TC has also been an early season factor.
