Not to mention, offensively - they are pretty set everywhere BUT IOL and maybe 1 more backup swing IOL/OT. Everything else is pretty well covered. The need is on defense, both from a starting stand point, a depth, and raising the overall floor of talent.
Some of the mock drafts I've seen for the Bengals make no sense. Drafting only two defensive players with their six picks. Seven-round 2025 NFL mock draft: Browns, Seahawks select QBs in Round 2; Cowboys go RB

LB scarcity in this draft seems quite real. Historically I dont think a player like Jihaad Campbell pans out if we are talking strictly as a LB but he seems like a lock to go 7-15. But he might also be a pass rusher and its hard to evaluate that from the sofa

While don't put much into these did hear on way in today shefty is reporting Jags-Browns could deal with the 2 and 5 picks. Of course, was one of those nonstory stories. Gave the report as though good chance will happen to get those clicks then something along the lines of talking and could happen.

Duh....anything could happen and teams talk all the time.

Honestly, don't see us being so obvious with what we are doing so not taking Hunter #2 wont surprise me.
Hunter just seems like a headache. Any team is going to draft him to play WR or CB, not both. I can see some series where he plays a down or two on third and really really long, but this guy seems to be demanding to be Jefferson on offense, then shut down jefferson on defense. What happens when the team chooses for him?

A headache because he might be really good at 2 positions? Oh, no. ......seems like many think he can and will play both. My guess if we take him will be a full time WR and maybe 30 or so plays as a DB.

IF a team told him he is only playing one position what happens? He likely plays one position....what's he going to do, quit? don't believe all the rumors you hear.

Maybe a headache from someone who isn't in the building. I am sure it's the opposite of a headache. As long as they communicate

I think he'll drop.

Dude has a shoulder in repair now. Needs the OTHER shoulder repaired... and has knee issues that might be an issue.

Very talented guy so I imagine someone will take a flyer, but there's a chance he doesn't even start this season or just reinjures something.

Yeah, I did a mock ago and I didn't think he was even going rd1 because he was hurt but all of the rumors are saying he might be a top 10 pick.

All I gotta say is, I am absolutely loving all these rumors about thirsty teams trading up for mediocre QB prospects. This is how the Eagles wound up with Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean in the first two rounds of last year's draft. Both dropped way more than they should have due to teams desperate to fill needs.

I don't know about last year having mediocre QB prospects. I think Mitchell fell because it was a really strong draft. Brian Thomas Jr went 23 and I think he'd go top 5 in this draft. Jared Verse went 19. Last year was fire until about pick 36.

Cooper Dejean....we all know why he fell, right? Its like wondering why Lamar Jackson fell.

Uh, where are you hearing these rumors about teams trading up for QB? I haven't heard of many (if any). If anything I keep hearing about teams wanting to trade down.

And what the hell are you talking about? The only team that traded up for a QB last year was Minnesota and it was ONE fucking slot to the Jets, who then took an OL.

The reason you guys got Mitchell was because defensive players fell in general last year because it was a LOADED class at QB, OL, WR (and Bowers).

Not trying to stir up things, but you're WAY off on this one. Mitchell and DeJean were good picks, but it had NOTHING to do with teams trading up for mediocre QB prospects... lmao, get out of here with that.

Bullseye, I said the same thing while you were posting (right after yours). And I didn't want to bring up "DeJean was white" but I mean you pretty much called it out (if that's what you were calling out LOL).

Rams starters are a 2nd round RT and a UDFA LT. Bills starters are a 2nd round LT and a 3rd round RT. They can be found, just not as easy.

Right and we could do that for every position. There are exceptions to the rule of course (in part because there are only so many 1st round picks), but for the most part Edge, CB, OT, QB are positions that if you are drafting them outside the 1st round the odds drastically drop that they will be an impact player in the NFL.

Giants trading back for Dart…
I'm confused if this is something you are predicting or saying you read this? I know the GMs son posted a hype video of Dart and that was a source of some rumors...

I think this year you are going to have at least one DL fall right into your lap. There are too many good but not great ones out there. It's set up nicely for you. Hopefully you find a Dereck Barnett and not a Jalen Carter...:harbaugh:

Woah. First of all, you can call me out, I am not thin skinned. Second, you make some fair points. I didn't word my message well. I was trying to say that some guys fell last year that probably should not have if people were taking the best players available, and that that looks like it may happen again.

Last year it was because the draft was strong at QB, OL and WR and a lot of people with needs at those positions made runs on players. It wasn't all QB, though you saw quite a few go high. There were six QBs taken in the first round last year, and then none for the next two rounds because they all got gobbled up. Some of those like Nix proved to be good picks, others were more questionable.

Bottom line is that if you re-did the draft, you would see some of the defensive guys go much higher, not just the Eagles guys but players like Jared Verse.
