1.8--Christian Gonzalez, CB Oregon (signing Gardner Johnson for one year does not make a big young outside corner less of a need)
1.18--Bijan Robinson, RB Texas (greed pick on my part. PFF gave it a D.)
2.44--Jack Campbell, LB Iowa (Resigning Anzalone does not change my vision of Campbell and Rodriguez as a great young LB core)
2.48 Felix Anudike-Uzomah, Edge Kansas State (great value here)
2.55 Sam LaPorta, TE Iowa (athletic and productive. Hope to develop into a good #3 option at some point)

Yeah, the framing is looking really familiar. I am dealing down from 1.6 a lot and picking up a 2nd, and then thinking of these five picks as a cohort, of a sort. Mentally rounding down the rest of the picks to darts, these are the guys we are counting on.
My overall thoughts:
-Feels like defense deserves a minimum of three picks. It should
feel like a defensive focused draft, in my mind.
-That said, I am tempted by both Bijan (no other RB) and one of several TEs in various spots, so... I don't hate what you did there.
-I also still think that a 2nd round IOL could make sense, and that feels less contradictory somehow than skill players.
-I think the do need to add someone on the defensive line, inside or out, especially since they have skipped it, for the most part, in free agency. They might be a wise team that grabs a veteran rental in June (and I would support that, Trey Flowers or somesuch) but on paper it's a gaping need that I want to target in this complement somewhere.
Right now, given the CJGJ signing, I'm finding that skipping CB is the way to pull it all together easily.
