They took Utah offensive line and Caleb Williams first, then traded up for Illinois edge rusher, Gabe Joccas and Notre Dame tied in, Eli Raradon. Straight up addressing needs, at Tackle, Edge and tied in, with guys who bring serious upside. These picks scream athletic freaks. Lomu clocked a sub five second 40 at 313 pounds, with a nine foot five broad jump. Joccas blazed a 1.59 ten yard split, fastest among drafted edges.
