Campbell is a tackle but he would prob. move to guard for Seattle. I think Zabel does much better though with what Seattle wants to do (zone blocking). Campbell over Zabel would be a bit of a head scratcher to me.

What are the odds of Seattle going WR in rd1?

 

[Schmoopy1000]

As banged up as he is?

That's a stretch. IMO.

Kupp at 15 mil or problem child at 26 mil. No brainer to me.
Even if Kupp doesnt get the stats you want from him, he will help that team.

Diggs will become a detriment for his team. I didnt want him on my team no matter what the price honestly.

I dont think Campbell will get past the Patriots.

Well that would annoy me highly, but it wouldn't surprise me. I mean you spent a first on JSN... the WR class is fairly deep in the mid rounds (where Seattle has 4 picks). No reason to reach on a WR in the 1st.. I'd say average. Kupp/JSN are kind of a similar guy, and MVS is a one trick deep threat... you gotta find something else there. But Kubiak likes his 3 TE sets. I could actually see them targeting Warren before a WR.

He probably has more left in the tank than Kupp....what do you think?

I don’t like his knee situation. He’s 31. First year off a knee the players isn’t in top form. So now he’s 32 in his real bounce back year? Nah. This is a wing and a prayer that he’s a number 1.

I really want the Giants now to take Sanders in the draft. Could you imagine that QB room of Sanders, Winston, Wilson, and Devito? I would hope whatever the QB show is that follows a few around a year would just spend the entire show with that QB room.

As an Eagles fan living in the NYC area these days, I almost have to pinch myself. Is this real? Surely, one team cannot give Philly this much. Saquon was a lot. But NO.

Gonna be years before he sleeps!

I pegged Banks as an LG. I just mentioned teams trading down and I kinda think you're one of the most likely.

If he is going to be LG, that would be a home run pick.

Watch them trade a 2026 additional first pick to the Browns move up to take Sanders.

I don't know if anyone has ever had a heart attack from happiness, you could be the first.

The Pats are back to being the Pats most of us knew all our lives. The guys with the bad jerseys who always lost and made bone-headed personnel moves. No one wants to play in New England anymore, just like the old days. They're back, baby!

I'm just wondering how long before Vrabel loses his shit on this malcontent. There's no way Diggs sees the end of that contract.

That is a bad contract for a guy that clearly lost more than just a step

The Kupp deal is reasonable.

This is just desperate

Agree, he'll either be a problem or under perform. He never sees year 3 of this contract.

Having said that, he does give NE many options going into the draft. They don't need to sign one of the top WRs. Can look at OT, RB or TE. But if Graham or Carter are there at 4 it would be tough to pass on either of them.

He was never lightning fast. 4.46 in the 40 at the combine. Prior to getting injured in just over 7 games played, he had 47 receptions, almost 500 yards and 3 TDs. Pretty close to his career numbers. He's still elusive and runs good routes. His only problem is his attitude. Yeah, maybe NE overpaid. But, they had to. He immediately makes the NE offense better than it was last year. Add Hollins and if Polk can play anywhere near his ability this WR group isn't near as bad. Throw in Pops Douglas, Boutte, Bourne, Henry and Hooper they'll be fine. Just need to sure up the LT position and get a decent RB from a good RB class.

Feel good about the future of safety position, Lake was pretty good too

Corner and ILB are our biggest needs

Failing that DL, OT, WR, or QB. Some fans want a TE...or even a RB. S would be a low priority and low value decision. Under McVay the Rams have used high picks on needs rather than BPA, and S isn't a big need.

Looks good overall. People really falling for the Sanders to Browns stuff. I personally don't see it. If Ward falls to #2 I could see them taking Ward.
I think Cleveland is the team in this draft that determines a lot of things for teams. I mean they could go Hunter, Carter or Sanders and even though I think Sanders is 3rd on that list definitely still a possibility. BPA should be the answer though and Hunter/Carter are so much better prospects than Sanders it's silly.

I'm leaning Hunter for them (provided Ward is off the board of course). Helps fill 2 needs.

It;s basically a one year deal, pretty harmless and a decent risk play IMO.

 

[shopson67]

I just believe he'll open up the passing game in general and defenses will have to commit more coverage to the TE. Could help our current WR core.

The Broncos seem to have a bunch of 3s and 4s behind Sutton. I would assume they go WR at some point in the draft if not in the 1st.

 

[shopson67]

Giants probably still taking a qb in the first, scratch probably. They should.

I think they're focused on the 2026 draft and Arch Manning.

 

[shopson67]

Well an overspend is an overspend, either way ya fuckin' slice it. I'm not going to give someone a pass and say "Oh it's not an overspend because they NEED this position!" lol that's ridiculous. That's like saying, "I bought stock at it's peak value because I NEED to own stock and diversify a portfolio!" That's retard logic.

Nah, I think it's a little bit of an overspend. Is that a concern? No, they had a ton of cap so whatever. They need a lot more than just a legit WR (legit? I mean he's on the back end of his career) to help their young QB, though.

Patriots have added quite a bit this offseason and will continue through the draft. They need continued work on the OL and WR room.
