Max Melton is another CB to watch Difficult seeing him last that long, you think ?

DB and WR look BPA options by far to me. But we’ve looked at so many day 2 OTs and DE/Edge. Intriguing. If they do love Paul then you’d imagine we have to pull the trigger. Sounds like the Bills are generally getting hounded already for pick #33

Agreed. #36 and #40 feels a bit rich for these though, IMO. Wonder if we trade back, or move up from the third. As much as we need OT those second rounders are very valuable picks right now.

@Skinsinparadise where you looking #36 and #40

I think we’re still in a decent spot with OT. Not great, but not panic mode yet. We’ve missed out on several high upside players in that mid/late first round range. However many were also vastly inexperienced/raw. Would have been great to snag one, but many came with some element of risk. There are a few very solid tackles left. Many as you’d class them, lower ceilings, higher floor/safe prospects. We’ll get a solid OT. Maybe a couple of solid OL. 2025 might have to be the year to draft that stud. Also, in terms of day 2, with picks at #36 and #40 it is more then feasible that we’ll have several first round grade players left on our board. Edit - or say top 30 grades. Just take 2 of them. Go BPA at the top of the second round. Then reassess need more. Move up from the third if we still need an OT.

WR - Troy Frankiln Overview The puzzle pieces are fairly easy to put together when assessing who Franklin is and who he could be in the NFL. He’s a tall, linear receiver with good speed. He’s sudden enough to beat press but lacks the play strength to win combat catches and fight for operating space underneath. He has an innate talent for avoiding traffic and maintaining his distance from pursuit after the catch on crossing routes on all three levels. Franklin might not get WR1 target volume, but he should be productive with a high yards-per-catch average and the ability to open things up underneath for his teammates. Franklin could become a coveted complementary piece for an established WR1 or a productive vertical target for a team looking for instant help in the passing game.

WR - Malachi Corley Overview Corley is a big, physical wideout who has been asked to carry a heavy workload for Western Kentucky using his talent after the catch. Corley’s highlight reel will be full of broken tackles and general carnage left in his wake. He’s an average route-runner with the tools to improve, but a disappointing drop rate and contested-catch rate are concerns relative to the way he plays the game in space. Like Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel when they were prospects, Corley has had a heavy percentage of his targets schemed around him and he will need to prove he can become more than just a quick-game bully or gadget guy. He’s good at what his team asked him to do, which is a great jump-off point for evaluators considering him as a Day 2 selection and future starter.

Potential day 2 options from the 30 visits…. Kiran Amegadjie, OT, Yale Austin Booker, DE/Edge, Kansas Chris Braswell, DE/Edge, Alabama Brandon Coleman, OT/OG, TCU Blake Fisher, OT, Notre Dame Marshawn Kneeland, DE/Edge, Western Michigan Roger Rosengarten, OT, Washington Ja’Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas Caedan Wallace, OT Penn State

Great pick. Everything we’ve heard since the selection supports the move.

A trade for Aiyuk would be sensational IMO. Offer a 2 and 4 next year. SF have a stack of picks coming up in this draft. Who cares about the contract. It would appear an ideal fit for both the team, and our rookie QB development. I would love that move. I want us to keep our 2 second rounders this year. I would actually consider adding a 5th rounder to #40 so that we have 2 of the first 4 picks in round, depending on our board. or adding 67 or 78 and 100 together to get another second rounder. It’s going to be difficult to pass on a CB early day 2 in my opinion.

Yeah Peters is fairly clear on the narrative, Daniels was the pick from a long way out. Can’t see an hint of any real indecision in there, he’s absolutely raved about him. Time to back the FO and QB and enjoy what is to follow…..

Vikings just keep trading future picks away

I think he was ok until Latham broke his back

Well that’s a great pick for the Vikings IMO. And in the end it didn’t cost them both first rounders.

Vikings are short on picks. They are a great trade partner for us now at #23

Yeah the Bears win.

Penix is very talented. That’s a wild pick though.

We sure need an upgrade at CB

So we didn’t trade up or trade down. Go figure

Hopefully the Vikings jump for JJ, keep him away from NYG

So it’s a move for a LT or Chop next. The frequent talk of Aiyuk makes me think Peters could make that trade call to SF offering 2025 picks….

I hope someone trades up before them to take JJ

Daniels seems pretty fired up. Gonna be great to see how he goes.

Damn right. Exciting times.

New era - exciting times. Welcome JD5.
