He’s going to star on ST and develop this year and eventually be contributing at CB or S.

I’m interested in how they view Slater vs Sewell vs Darrisaw. I could see a slight trade up to get in front of the Chargers.

That'd be an overpay. I'd do something like 19, Scherff, and our 3rd this year. But the Lions are rebuilding, I doubt they'd want a highly paid G, although he would help turn that culture around.

I think the Lions could be interested in that. They get a pick in this draft and a elite player. Scherff might even want to go there since he’s a Midwest guy.

I’m all about trading Scherff for anything more than a 3rd. He won’t sign a LTD and we aren’t going to resign him next year, so to me a draft pick>one year of Scherff for 18 mil.

Well, that’s what Fitz is for.

 

I actually don’t agree here. I think any of the top 5, including Lance, can play year one. I also think any of the top 5, including Lawrence, would benefit from time watching and learning. 
 

Watching that Elite 11 camp that Dilfer holds for HS guys that featured Fields and Lawrence was fun. It showed that Lawrence, despite always being more highly considered than Fields, isn’t as clean of a prospect as many here believe him to be. And Fields seems to come out on top more often than not when the two of them meet head to head.

 

I still don’t think he has as high of a ceiling as Justin Fields. Lawrence is a good QB but he has problems. 

I still think Fields has the highest upside of any of these guys. I think Lawrence has the lowest bust chance. Pick your poison.

 

I take Fields.

When I watch Fields I get Russell Wilson vibes. Maybe it’s Fields’ elite baseball background (was a potential future 1st rounder but gave it up in HS).

Fields’ character, worth ethic and toughness is equal or better than any QB in this draft.

Lance scares me much more than Fields, based on experience factor and age.

There is no way he’s worth a 2nd- but just looked it up and he’s only owed

Here's what a team acquiring Julio Jones in a trade would owe him on his current deal: 2021: $15.3M 2022: $11.513M 2023: $11.513M 3-years, $38.326M in total.

mid to late pick would be fine for me

I don't like this framing. Are you really saying that if you're poor you ought to put yourself at risk, but if you are a millionaire you can skip out on your obligations implied or otherwise?

I interpreted it the opposite; that the blue collar worker is forced to risk his health because he has no other option besides starving, that’s not a good thing, but it’s reality. A pro athlete has options and can play hardball.

The following are not mutually exclusive and reflect my feelings on Reyes.

1. Reyes has some good strength/speed/explosive numbers that make him an exciting ball of clay to work with.

2. I am really pleased with signing him, especially since what I’ve read about him indicates he has a strong work ethic and is serious about working to develop into a football player.

3. I don’t expect him to contribute much of anything next year, possibly ever. He is long shot, but I’m rooting for him.

4. I find the knee jerk reactions immediately comparing him to elite basketball/football players cringey and annoying.

lol what a bat**** crazy draft:

I’m pretty proud of this one. Mac Jones slipped to 19; I don’t like him as a fit for us and so I traded down with Pittsburgh. Doubled up on OT, one of them will be a guard for us, at least initially.

I’m not sure how realistic it is. Technically, it lines up pretty close with the accepted draft value chart, but it doesn’t take into account competitors or desperation factor. It’s what I’d be willing to pay, though.

Seahawks select Robert Jones, OT Middle Tennessee.

The Seattle Seahawks select:

Samis Reyes, TE

This freakish athlete and former professional basketball player will be converting to TE.

I am probably wrong but I’m going on the record all the same.

 

I’m calling shenanigans. This Mac Jones to the 49ers talk is a smokescreen. 

 

The more I think about it the more I believe that San Francisco didn’t gave up three first round picks to get an at best potentially solid qb in MacJones.

 

You pay a price like that only if you think you’re getting a generational talent someone that can dominate and put fear into both the defensive coordinators that have to create schemes to contain him and the defensive players that go against him.

 

Mac Jones may be solid. He may be a winner. He may be a wizard at the chalk board. But imho he will likely never be a player that other players fear-x not in today’s NFL.

 

I suspect that Shanahan sees something potentially very, very, special in the raw clay that is Trey Lance. Something that just requires time and a master sculptor to reveal. He intends to be that sculptor and create a masterpiece at qb over the next two years.

 

One that will strike fear in the hearts of opponents.

 

In the meantime Jimmy G gets the starting nod.

 

We shall see.

 

 

Definitely possible. But why the subterfuge? We know what the other teams are doing at 1 and 2, so why are we hearing so much Mac Jones rumors?

Picks sent in.

Oh, it’s Pitts no question for me. He’s the BPA and he also fills a slight need (move TE). 
 

I just think there’s like a 1% chance it happens. I don’t even think Darrisaw will be there, with teams like Minnesota ahead of us. It could be a situation where we need to go BPA because we see Waddle> Cosmi, as an example. I actually think it’s more likely Devonte Smith or a top CB is available vs Pitts, unless Pitts gets a medical red flag or something bizarre like is caught on video smoking weed through a gas mask.😆

Depending on Farley’s medical, I’d also consider him in play at 19 (or possibly a trade up back to end of first or early 2 for him).

Who would you rather in the unlikely scenario Darrisaw, Pitts and Parsons falls? Or said another way, who would you rather fall to you at 19? Personally, Id be inclined to go Darrisaw, but it would not be an easy decision...

While they can be unrealistic (Pitts dropping so far) these mock drafts are pretty good at helping to realize where there is some depth. For example, if you miss out on OT by round 3 it’s pretty much bare. Compare that with WR where there are still good players later. 
 

Unless one of the blue chip guys drop, I think OT is the way to go with our 1st. I like Zaven Collins but I think I’d rather the pick be OT.

The Seattle Seahawks select Eric Stokes, CB, GA. Unless he’s already been picked...

it’s been a busy day for me, apologies.

same here, however on balance Philly have done alright. They’ll get a premium talent at #12, they save a ton on the rookie contract they need to fund, and next year they should have 3 first..

Disagree. I don’t think they are guaranteed a premium talent at 12. They may miss out on all of the offensive weapons by that pick. I’m excited they won’t get Pitts or Chase- still could get Waddle. Also, we avoided them getting their QB of the future. Roseman sucks, their offseason was a disaster and the draft looks like it won’t be much better. Rejoice in their failures and let it bring you much happiness.

As we can see from the Humphries signing, teams are going to be cutting good players that have bad contracts. The Titans saved a lot of money by cutting Humphries, but he’s a good player. I expect we will continue to take advantage of the situation, especially after the draft, when teams were able to draft cheaper replacements. I expect we target CB and TE with some of the unexpected cuts, and get some good one year or short term deals.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-jets/c.j.-mosley-14426/
 

Is he any good? Because his contract looks awful. They will cut him and we can sign him if we like. I’m not giving up draft picks for that contract.

As I recall, Everett was playing pretty well at FS before he got hurt and Reaves looked decent. I’d like to upgrade but it’s not dire.

LB on the other hand was bad last year and we lost KPL also. We have got to sign more than Mayo, need a coverage LB. I’d be really surprised if we don’t take advantage of FA and sign more pieces in the next month and after the draft. We aren’t done, I hope, at least we shouldn’t be.

Speaking of Safety's Paris Ford crapped the bed in his workouts. I wonder how much that cost him. 

It was so horrible and he’s undersized too.

“His performance on the field for the Panthers was much better than the product he put on the field for the Pro Day. Ford posted a 4.90 40-yard dash, 29-inch vertical jump, 9-foot-2 broad jump, 4.53 shuttle run and a 7.65 three-cone. Those athletic testing numbers could make him undraftable and teams are going to have a lot of questions about what he spent his time doing when he opted out.”

KJ Wright would be an impact player. He’s really underrated and has been a stud for a long time. My guess is he’s turning down low offers and takes a one year deal somewhere.
