The Sporting News mock had Dallas trading up with JAX to draft Jeanty. Cost um 12 44 and 170 something.
No way in Hell I would do that. They could take Hampton at 12 or a kid like Judkins at 44, net a real good RB and another player. If i moved up, it would be to put Mason Graham on the DL beside Micah, not trade up for a RB in a deep RB class. There will be decent runners left in the 5th round if need be
Absolutely not!!
I am torn on a guy like Graham because he is Michigan guy. I can't shake it.
I agree with that, but not at 12. Any other round, yes. It Patrick Mahomes from Texas Tech is there at 12, and McClay says this kid will be a HOF QB IMO, you take him, whether you have Dak or not, even if your starting RB is a 38 year old Zeke and Jeanty is on the board. If you're the Eagles, woth two stud starting DT's, and Aaron Donald is there, and Will believes it, you take Donald. Any other round, im with you 100%
Exactly
and if at 12 you have McMillian, Hampton and a couple of top DL's who do you take as the most important
Depends how you have them rated. For all we know the team might have McMillan a top 5 player in the entire draft, or perhaps not even as a first rounder at all. You can't just grab the top guy at a position of need when he may not be ranked anywhere near the top players on your board. That's the surest way to regretting your draft. You never pass on a guy you think will be a great player and who is head and shoulders over other guys on your board regardless of position. You aren't drafting for this September. You are drafting for the next 10 years.
It really depends, and i say that because most people i have heard that I think know something about scouting think there are 10-12 legit 1st round players in this draft. Example...I heard Dane Brugler say the other day that if Brian Thomas were in this years draft(he went 23rd overall), he would have had Thomas ranked ahead of any reciever in this draft(looking at Hunter as a corner). So if there is a guy we feel like was one of our top 5-6 players in the entire draft, that fell to 12, and we decide to go WR, even thinking that reciever is the best in this draft but would have gone at the bottom of the 1st last year, im taking the other guy. I dont care where he plays. If we dont have a need at, say, Center, which we don't, and Travis Fredrick is there, im taking Fred and moving Beebe to RG. All good. 1st round i wamt the best shot atba star and lesst shot at a bust. After round 1, need shopping is fine by me. Now...if the best player on our board is a need like DT, DE, RB, CB...grand slam
i'm looking at this hopefully scientifically. right now, at DE we have Parsons (Edge), Fowler, Turmer, Kneeland and Williams. at DT we have Odighizuwa. Thomas, Rogers and Smith. I'm looking at Farmer, Norman-Lott, Ashton Gillotte, Robinson & Stackhouse as being available in the middle rounds and i probably missed several. they are not #1 starters, but they are rated as probably good to very good backups with a possiblr future starters.
I think if you can move down for any kind of value, it's a great idea. And I also think if you can package some of the 6 day 3 picks we have to move back into the back half of day 2, that would be great
Yes, it does. LOL. But Mazi...Charlton
You are probably right. I think at least in round one they go either CB or WR. Top candidates are probably Golden,TMac,Johnson and Barron. I would be surprised if they don't draft one of these four.
Another guy I am watching for the trenches is Tyler Booker. He had a bad combine. Maybe he falls to 44. I don't really put as much weight into 40 times for interior offensive lineman. He routinely mauled everybody that got in his way. Hoffman concerns me a little at RG. I just like the bigger lineman at guard
this is exactly how I see pick 12 going should we stay at 12.
Agreed! 100%. I dont care about 40 times for right guards and nose tackles. I bet Ted Washington ran a 6 flat lol. Booker was a dominant run blocker. Would love to add him
Wipe Johnson or Barron would be fine picks. I like them both
