Nice effort, duke!

Conley is a great pick for us. We'd be a lot better on defense if we could cover someone on 3rd down.

Obligatory criticism - Really can't see Indy going for a speed receiver in the 1st again after that Dorsett disaster.

The teams might agree with you that no RB with real question marks is worth a first rounder.

Personally I think the LBs are overrated in this class.

Word down here is that the Bucs love them some Dalvin Cook ... especially Jameis Winston, but if by some miracle OJ Howard is still there at 19 I'm sure they would be ok with that as well.

btw, there is word that Gareon Conley may actually be taken prior to Lattimore. Lattimore is imo "clearly" the best Corner in this draft, but some teams are really scared off by his hammy issues and Conley is a very clean prospect who just needs some coaching on using his hands in the jam.

I think Foster is slowly dropping out of 1st round imo. Apparently he failed a drug test at the combine. I wonder why this was the reason for him being sent home?

If Mike Williams and Corey Davis were both there and we passed on them i might throw up.

The WRs are already way better than last year. Corner is arguably worse and DE is arguably worse. The defense has had nothing added to it.

There are a ton of good cbs in this draft.... there are not a ton to bunch of Corey Davis or Mike Williams in any draft. We have a couple WRs on 1 year contracts so I would say absolutely Wr is a top priority. They aren't resigning Jordan Matthews he may even get traded on draft day.

Take this for FWIW?

I think WR is absolutely a priority ... Jordan Matthews is in the final year of his rookie contract, Alshon is on a one year deal, Agholor is only here because it would cost money to cut him and Torrey Smith may or may not get back to his hey day a few seasons ago in Baltimore. WR may not be a big deal for this upcoming season, but after that there are a lot of questions at the position.

I like the idea BPA on defense in 1st round. Mixon in 2nd? Goodwin WR in 3rd? Go defense the rest of the way? Forgot, but maybe a TE might be a good idea, especially when this is a good draft for one?

Love Godwin ... but he'll be gone way before our late 3rd round pick. Ditto Zay Jones. Love getting Tim Jernigan, but dropping down 20 something spots in Rd 3 means we're going to miss out on those early 3rd rounders I had my eye one. There's going to be a long wait between our 2nd and 3rd rounders this year.

I just plugged him in there, to get him on the board. I originally had him to the Eagles. I think we're going with Jeffrey, Smith, and Jenkins for this year, plus drafting one in the mid rounds. Next year, go get another stud. We can't fix everything in one draft. So we go heavy on defense this year, and the opposite next year, and get our stud RB - Barkley, of course!

Very true on all points. Cook to the Bucs, and Conley is a very clean pick.

It very well may happen.

Good. that means we'll get him.

Better get your barf bag. I think we'll only take one of them if Foster, Conley, or McCaffrey are gone.

I agree, but I don't think they see it that way.

I think the Bengals or Raiders want him more.

A long wait indeed,barring a trade from Howie. from #43 to #99! 56 plauers!!! A lot of good players will come off the board during that intermission. I think Howie does some maneuvering.i

Absolutely!
