If we had a decent tackle, Adams at guard would have been huge. He nor Crisler handled tackle well. That being said, I think Adams will have a solid NFL career. He and Tip together in AZ!

With the 123rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans select Cade Stover, TE, Ohio State.
And going 1-4 to end the previous season with that defense and Tommy and Chase on offense.
Here's the NFL.com draft info on Taylor:
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Overview
Taylor’s leg strength matches his impressive size. No punter was allowed to ply their craft more in recent years than Taylor thanks to Iowa’s struggling offense. He has proven to possess the power of an NFL punter and his hang-time is fairly solid when the rugby-style punts are removed from the evaluation process. The directional punting and touch will need sharpening, but Taylor could come off the board in the middle rounds and find work in the league.
Strengths
- Highly decorated All-American punter and FBS record-holder with 4,479 punt yards.
- Outstanding size with hand-eye coordination to rescue off-frame snaps as punter/holder.
- Planted nearly half of his 162 punts inside the 20-yard line from 2021 to 2022.
- Displayed power to dig his unit out from deep in its own side of the field.
Weaknesses
- Slower approach pace, contributing to three career blocked punts (per PFF).
- Fails to squarely hit punts more often than expected.

I wonder if the new kickoff rule played into this pick. Given the supposed talent dropoff, in the later rounds, I don't mind this pick at all.

Gill’s punting was pretty bad- they needed to replace him, you can argue whether or not this was the way to do it I guess.

No issue taking the punter if we didn’t only have 4 picks and have drafted no defensive guys. Gonna have to find some undrafted help or scraps from other teams to fill out the roster.
With the 137th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers select Tarheeb Still, CB, Maryland.

Brad Biggs has been slyly forecasting this pick for months now. It should surprise no one who's been paying attention to him.

I wonder if they believe Dexter and Pickens will continue to improve; they did show flashes of solid play in December. Still they definitely need depth, maybe they'll trade back into this draft in the 5th or 6th round. Or go after some free agents later on.

I believe Poles understands this draft class is extremely weak and is in no way eager to get back in it.
