Interesting Development

...or smoke screen, prevalent this time of year. Or trying to drive trade-up interest?

Hope 5 QB's get drafted in the first 15/20 picks.

push them non-QBs down!

 

[shopson67]

It's funny, I watch very little NCAA football (mostly just Syracuse and the playoffs), but love the draft process.

QBs in general are always the most interesting. You might get two franchise QBs out of the top 4 but you might also get one from the next four (Hooker, Tanner, the BYU kid, DTR)

It kinda stinks that this is being hosted in KC and I'm not going but I'm not so sure this is a must see live event.

I always figured you lived in Clayton. I live just outside of STL and it never even crossed my mind to go to the draft in KC.

Nope. I go by my middle name which is Clayton. My dad does live in STL and my wife has family in Belleville and Alton so I do spend a decent amount of time in STL. The wife also has family in KC and I live and work in mid Missouri

FIFY

I would be shocked if Bijan Robinson is available late. Surprised its chatter about him with these late teams. I don't see the point.

This has to be the weakest WR class in some memory. Sure teams are gonna find plenty of slot guys, but jeez. It's basically Smith-Njigba or wait.

 

[Clayton]

I wouldn't be stunned if Zay Flowers was the first receiver off the board. He seems to be the only receiver that had a good combine outside of JSN.

But I do expect the first round to be mostly QBs and defense. Lots of good defensive prospects in this draft

This class may be weak at the top, but it's pretty deep.

Hoping Addison falls to #27 (and the Bills actually take him lol)

I always figure the Bills go after high upside players in rd1. I'd guess they hit the trenches somehow but they do need another wr

One of the guys at PFF said one of his favorite teams to mock simulator with was the Rams because he feels the draft is deep enough that they can still find a lot of useful players where they are drafting

Two words: Lion's Choice

Yum!!!

They added two guards in FA and am not sure they're ready to give up on Brown yet. A G/C combo would make sense and either a RT or swing tackle I guess? I see Torrence mocked to the Bills quite a bit, but the Bills like agile linemen, which Torrence is not.

DL is a definitely a possibility if someone slips. Who knows what Von has left (and for how long) and there has been a lot of smoke around either trading Oliver now or just preparing for his exit next winter.

Biggest hole right now is LB, but MLB/ILB in the 1st is a reach in terms of positional value. Maybe they trade back into the 2nd, get their LB and add a pick?

It was fun for our online mock. Rams have a glut of picks in a 24 pick window between the late 5th and early 6th. Still may not be enough with all the holes they have left. They've lost a bunch of free agents while adding virtually nobody thus far. So many needs that they can virtually go true BPA...

It's a pretty big draft in terms of QBs or DL/EDGE and that's about it.

And IMO the QBs and DL/EDGE (outside of Anderson and Carter but Carter has major ethic/passion concerns) are not as good as other classes.

IMO it's a bit of a weak class. It's not 2009 bad, but it's not great, either...

IMO I think RB's and TE's are the talent in this class. Low probability of whiffing. But it's always possible.

I remember that 2009 draft. I think the Bengals best pick in that draft was our punter Kevin Huber. Lol what a waste of time that draft was.

Eh, it may be that case Ickey..

What tight ends do you like in this draft?

I'll be happy with Darnell Washington from Georgia. Practically is a other OL with ball skills. Perfect for our division.

If the Bengals are dead set on stretching the field, I guess that Utah TE Kincaid is fine. My problem is he's a little undersized.
