Braxton Jones and Zachary Thomas

Might turn out to be good developmental guys. Seems like Jones did decent in senior bowl and projected as high as 3rd round.

Poles is drafting lineman fit the system. Outstanding athletes that are a little lighter and not as strong as others.

A lot of the road grader lineman that were fans favorites were never going to be an option.

I'll hold my judgement until I see how @Black Rainbow feels.

One of them could take over at guard for Whitehair.

This is an interesting approach. If you can develop some eventual starters from Day 3... they come cheap for a couple of years.

Lighter? Jones is 300+lbs and not fat.
I'm holding back any excitement because J'taco was a big build that was worthless but Jones isn't from the bottom of the barrel rounds either.

The Ras scores of each guy. Pretty clear Poles is targeting guys that can move.

Pre-Draft Analysis​

Kramer started 47 games at Illinois. He's quick with a low center of gravity, and he takes good angles in the run game. He blocks to the echo of the whistle but lacks the playing strength to consistently sustain in a phone booth. He flashes a strong punch and digs in in pass pro. But Kramer leans and doesn't mirror well. -- Steve Muench

 

[Wild_x_Card]

Moar beef block the center from Illinois.

 

[ZenBear34]

I think both Jones and Thomas have potential to start. Solid picks.

WHY would we WASTE a VALUABLE PIXK ON A RB WHEN A W R WAS THERE FO RTAKING?

PRETTY CLEAR A BLUE CHIP QB LIKE FIELDS SHOULD MAKE LOW DRAFT PICKS WORK WELL WITHIN A SYSTEM HE TOO IS LEARNING IN HIS SECOND YEAR
