Now to start huffing the hopium for a OL or WR to drop in the first.

Was going to say I now won't be shocked if we take a WR in round 1. Not saying we should but WR is a definite weakness and with the signings if the BPA is a WR, we might take him.

I'm expecting OL now although to be honest I'm kind of still hoping we go DL to stack the DL with talent

Anyone have an idea of what the looks like at this point? Do we still have money to spend on filling some other holes ?

"Where Tomlinson really stood out a year ago was his ability to generate pressure. He did so at an 11.4% clip, per PFF. The Cardinals top three snap leaders on the defensive line — L.J. Collier, Dante Stills, Roy Lopez — had a combined pressure rate of 7.8%. Tomlinson’s presence should enable the Cardinals’ pass rush to create more pressure from the interior, opening opportunities for edge rushers like Josh Sweat, their marquee signing of free agency."

Okay… me happy. Means we’re not forced into DT at 16 and can go best available.
I am happy with this as well, but I still think we need a DT at 16. This guy isn't a big needle mover in the sack department. We still need that passing down disrupter. But yes, a good signing.

Now the DL room is crowded. Tomlinson. Jones. Nichols. Robinson. Collier. Stills. That is a decent room by league standards.
I think it's better from a rush defense standpoint. We still need interior pass rush and I'm not sure we'll get enough of it from this group. Walter Nolen, we will draft you!!!
