We know they really want is a receiver. They swung big and missed. The read here is they may like Lemon or Cooper more than Tate but know they can trade back and still get whichever guy they like
He’s a better player than Doubs but he is older and has beat up his body. I’m wondering what his number is. What might be hurting him is he is a former 7th round pick who isn’t a good athlete. That’s why the league sees him as a Kyle creation
Agreed. I do think they will take someone but it could end up being round 5 or 6. I also would be shocked if they took someone round 3 just because it seems like they philosophically do not believe in a rookie starter at center. If they take someone, it is a faux competition with Allegretti with...
Haha you got it. Harris to me was totally Wise to you. It does annoy me that they continue to see Harris as some major solution next year and that they are using his leg as an excuse for why he will be better when he was up and down prior to his injury (I remember him really sucking in the...
Similar to EDGE, Cross is the only starter they have under contract at safety. Harris is old, a JAG and in the last year of his deal. Quan is a major question mark who might not make the team out of camp next year. Reaves is decent depth as a box focused safety and Butler/Owens are really pure...
Question is whether Sarratt or Antonio Williams would start out of the gate. Given he’d be competing with the likes of Jaylin Lane and Luke, Williams could win the slot receiver battle.
Depends what you think optimizes the team. I’m personally prioritizing EDGE looking for a possible 2027...
I agree regarding your point that more guys will get taken in the 1st and 2nd this year vs last year. Heck, I’d be surprised if at least 5 don’t go in the 1st.
I think it’s unrealistic than anyone we take in the 3rd is going to provide us with significantly more production this season.
I think the issue is that the floor, by the time you get to the third, just isn’t high enough. I think last year’s WR class compares to this one in depth.
6 guys got taken in the 3rd last year. None of them did anything of note as receivers during the season. They were Kyle Williams, Isaac...
Got it. I’m taking McCoy then
I think the disappointment with the pick would be all the draft capital we’ve burned at CB since 2023. McCoy feels like a very solid bet to be a CB1 in this league.
I get Daronte’s scheme doesn’t emphasize corners but I’m not sure how much I care given he may not...
I do think McCoy is an excellent prospect. If WR is the focus, I wonder how much of a separation there is between Tate and Lemon from a grading standpoint.
#14 is basically at the outer edge of the range I am comfortable with. I thought about a trade back to the Vikings at #17 but the truth is...
Logan did a breakdown of him before FA. His breakdown is that Njoku is an athlete who never refined the technical points of his game and now the athleticism is starting to go.
I can see the argument for him on a cheap one year deal but Chig is somewhat similar as an athletic YAC guy who is not...
The haul would be disappointing but, if Love is gone and there isn’t a surprise faller, I don’t know that the prospect at #14 is that much lower than #7
Great insight. It’s why Coby Bryant got more money in FA than Kam Curl despite being an overall inferior player. Coby can play the deep middle well and Kam can’t
In this draft, I think the pool of guys who can play deep middle if needed evaporates after Day 2
Given how much AP had prioritized RAS, I just don’t see Downs being the choice. AP wants a freak if he can get one as the freakish athleticism points to a “one of the greatest to play the position” ceiling
Regarding the PFF personalities, the one guy I really like is Sikkema. He seems like a genuinely awesome A+ type of person. I also love his analysis always starts with the tape and then is supplemented by PFF grades and metrics.
Good for him to untangle the Stock Exchange pod from PFF. I think...
