Its like a template, we just swap names every year.

CBS had him going 28th.
A few Packers guys (4/60) had him going 30th.
Brooks was gonna go soon. He rose bigtime late in the process. A bunch of people had him going in the range.
I'm doubling down on the belief that he was Cincy's target at 33.

Finally unfortunately KJ Wright is very close to being done and in his last season under contract. This is a need position, the rest of the depth is not of potential staring quality. This player has ability and has a high upside.
I suspect the team wanted to trade back to the early 2nd but the trades were not able to be made. As ever the team has their own value for players and we are usually relying on values from the conventional draft sources.
I want to see him play.

Your suspicion was confirmed by John Schneider in the presser. Stated they had a trade set up that fell through. Specifically mentioned Green Bay, said they got a better deal to go to 26 and it was a bit surprising.

They mustn’t have been able to trade with anybody before 38 or must’ve felt that Carolina could potentially trade up and steal them had they traded down some.... they also must feel he fits a bigger hole than Epenesa or Gross-Matos, or Okwara at 27 and that one of them may be available at #59
Not sure, but the way KJ and Kendricks played last year (slow) tells me Pete just found their replacement. Might also mean Pete’s still going to stay base 4-3 more times than not.

I love the BPA pick and clearly the Hawks rated Brooks above Queen, and as was pointed out, Queen had the rest of the LSU NFL-level talent around him, while Brooks had to make plays without that support.
Chukarhawk wrote:#1 it wasn't a reach
#2 Our LB play last year was abysmal and the main reason we were awful against the run
#3 We needed to add team speed BADLY, we got beat on the edge a million times.
#4 we needed to improve tackling. How painful was it last year watching all those missed tackles?
#5 the hawks obviously had him rated higher than Queen and a lot of other guys that were available.
This guys addresses all those issues we saw. this guy is legit and will be starting.
