Yah... frankly I don't think Hunter is worth trading up for. I think he'll get beat up too much at WR, and a corner at #2? Meh. He's not playing both sides of the ball (100+ snaps a game) lol, anyone saying that is a complete joker IMO. But I'll eat crow if I'm wrong and he isn't on IR 24/7 in a few years.

I think Giants are the ultimate winners if they end up with Carter. Carter, Thibs, Lawrence, and Burns? Ooof, nasty pass rush.

Pass rush is what won them their Super Bowls over the years

Yep... And this OL/RB class is deep and Russell was taught for years to not turn the ball over (course Winston is the antithesis to that). If they get a good defense that can get pass pressure, they could be a bit of a surprise.

Chris Canty suggested the Steelers should trade TJ Watt to the 49ers for Purdy.....

LOL.

 

[fightinfunbags]

Just saw that Jalen Milroe is attending the draft. Has a team given him a promise or something? Kind of weird that I saw him on the list of 17 people. Do they expressly invite second day draft picks now?

LOL.

AND...Can't sets minority hiring back another 5 years... Let's trade a great player we don't want to pay $40M for a good player who will want $50M+ lol

Thanks man, glad you liked it. Who knows how accurate it will be, it’s all just speculation at this point, could go down lots of different ways. I hope Green is available at 15 for my Falcons, I think he would be a really good pick for them, Jalon Walker would be great as well but I bet he’s gone by 15. Really all of the edge rushers besides Stewart are good with me, Stewart didn’t produce nearly enough sacks to be a 1st round pick IMO and I’m not sure if he could make an immediate impact even if he does turn out to be a good player, and we need someone who can make an instant impact on the pass rush. We could also go corner though as we need another stellar corner besides Terrell and this draft has some solid DBs.
I’m pretty sure Ward goes at 1 to the Titans and Jeanty goes to the Raiders at 6, those are the most surefire bets IMO. But who knows how it will turn out, fun to speculate though and we’ll know in 9 days!

I like it. Brugler did have 4 of the top 13 players as Edges and 14 was Jihaad Campbell who might be an Edge. I do think Shemar Stewart probably should go 22 but I would be a little shocked if he fell out of the top 15.

I also think Josh Conerly might be a LT and as such I think he almost has to go higher.

I wouldnt be shocked if you got every pick in the top 9 right

Thanks. A lot of the top 10 will depend upon what the Browns do, if the Browns surprise people and take Sanders that throws everything for a loop, Giants I guess could take him as well, but if he gets by them I bet the Saints snag him, hell I could even see the Saints trading up for him as I doubt they want to start the season with a QB room of Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.
The Jets could definitely go O-Line at 7, but the fact that they don’t have a proven starting TE on their roster and the fact that they need more receivers besides Wilson makes me think it will be hard for them to pass on Warren, who had a monster season last year in college.
I can’t wait for the draft - there’s very little football news at this time of year, and I always miss football in the offseason, so the draft is really fun.

There are a lot of potential trades. I think Patriots trading up to 3 to get Carter and Giants getting a draft pick and taking Graham at 4 makes sense. Niners trading up with the Jets makes sense for both parties I think.

The gist I'm getting is that Dart, Sanders and Milroe might be in the same tier. If that's the case, Colts not at least considering QB seems like malpractice.

I don’t think Milroe is anywhere near the same level as Sanders or Dart. Milroe is just not that good. Dart is an interesting possibility for a 1st round selection, I know the Steelers are a possibility and yeah the Colts could be but they already reached with Richardson and I don’t think they’ll risk another first round pick on a QB who could be a bust this year.
I agree there are a lot of potential trades, I’ve heard that the Pats could trade down, I don’t know about the G-Men and I doubt they would take a D-Lineman with their first pick, their defensive front 7 seems to be the best part of their team, they need secondary help and help at receiver.
Who do you think the Niners would get if they traded up? O-Line would definitely be my guess. I wonder if the Jets go O-Line or they take Warren if he’s available because TE is a glaring hole on their roster, or could they possibly be interested in a QB? I’m certainly not sold on Fields.
Never know what to expect on draft night, that’s what makes it so much fun.

I like it for the Broncos. I think I've done a 360 experience with Hampton. Watched him and loved him and really wanted him at pick 20 while everyone was mocking Loveland to the Broncos at 20. Then we got Engram and all of a sudden everyone switched to Hampton and I started convincing myself I wanted someone else. Now I've watched him again and would be very happy with him at pick 20.

well I think you know what I would say if I were to comment on this.

 

[Xeliou66]

well I think you know what I would say if I were to comment on this.

Yeah I know you don’t want a receiver at 12. I could see the Cowboys going a few places, if Jeanty is available I definitely think they take him but that’s extremely unlikely, Hampton is a possibility I guess, and I guess D-Line is a possibility as well or maybe even O-Line, but I just think they want to give Dak another solid receiver, there’s no clear cut #2 guy behind CeeDee and could use a boost at the position. But again, I’m just speculating, anything could happen.
