DA talked yesterday about he liked Spider-Man playing some saftey. Tyranny Mathieu played that role for DA in NO and he was pretty good.

I think KJ will be gone but we pick early in round 3, very possible Cam Skattebo could be there. Draft Buzz lists him as a 4th round pick. Several have him 3rd and lower.

Somewhere J'Marcus Webb is smoking a fatty and laughing his ass off...

I think you're right. 10-50 are about the same. Should be all about fit and need, unless one of the studs falls...

exactly - we got great value from that pick, but we did not get great blocking from him.

Honest question, dont mean to sound sarcastic at all: Do you think Kaleb Johnson will be there when we pick in the 3rd? I dont. I dont even think Saketabo will be there.

Exactly. The Bears Oline was so bad the opportunity for a 5th Rd pick to start in week 1 was wide open. To Braxton's credit he came in and earned it. The issue is we haven't gotten the growth expected in years 2 and 3.

So many to choose from just within the 3rd Rd grades.

there are lots of decent backs in this one. For me Jeanty is special, and I like Kaleb Johnson and Cam Skatebo a lot too. But there are probably 6 or 8 backs that could meaningfully contribute to an NFL team in this draft, but only a few are problems for defenses.

I'll just say this - starting, and being starter quality are not always the same thing.

I think the argument could be made for anyone projected to be a first round pick could be our #10 pick. My first choice is to trade back.

Jeanty is a given but the rest of the RB room is a debate. Hell RJ Harvey or Dylan Sampson could end up being real good. It's not always the obvious choice. I'll hang my hat on Cam Skattebo.

We all have our opinion and people we think would be best for the team. I think whoever they take at 10 needs to be special, not just a player that becomes a NFL starter. Braxton was an NFL starter day one and was a fifth round pick. Pundits are pretty consistent with 6 all pro player types available in the draft. A few say 8 and of course a few could surprise but I think if we get the chance, we will draft one of these. If not one falls then it could be 10 different players. In one week the conversation starts with the mistake they made by taking so and so at 10. I trust them to get it right.

He's just an all around good player, imo.

Which in my post I alluded to the fact this contract makes that something I expect Dennis Allen to do with TJ.

It was talked about on the score this afternoon. Not sure if Clay Harbor was in on that but he was on to talk draft.

I’ve heard TreVeon Henderson is very good as well.

I'd like to read the article. Do you have source or link?

The talk is to move Edward's to Mike and Edmunds to Will. Edmunds may not like it, but his size and athleticism are better for coverage (that Will LBs do more in Allen's D). As for drafting someone high to be the 3rd LB to replace Sanborn, it's not a priority in a D that is in Nickel 60%. They will use a 7th rd pick to get a backer like Nick Martin, Oklahoma St who can blitz. Kyler Gordon will see more time on the field being that CB/S/LB making plays like CJ Gardner-Johnson.

If one of the main criterias of a RB is pass blocking, then LeQuint Allen is your guy . Draft Buzz has him rated by far the best pass blocker.

its as if the best thing you could do would be to get a 4th round level pick in the 7th round. And while that IS good, it's still a 4th round pick. The best thing you can do is to put studs in positions where they can help you, and if that means taking a 17th pick guy at pick 10 because your next pick isnt until 39, then you do it. But I dont see Banks as a 17th pick anyway. I hope he is still there at 10.

OLB's aren't meant to cover RB's downfield for very long without safety help. Using Roquan as an example is a little off since he's the ILB, with the primary responsibility of the inline TE. Varied schemes and coverage can be an outlier in responsibility.

I agree that Loveland is too early at 10, but hes a pretty good player. Id prefer him over Tyler Warren, just because they are different types of players. Loveland is much more like LaPorta.

Here's where I'm at one week out: Guys I don't think will be there but I'm starting to think there's a chance and I would run up to the podium to draft: Ashton Jeanty, Mason Graham Guys I don't think will be there but if he is, I would like to believe someone would trade up for instead of reluctantly taking him: Tyler Warren, Jalon Walker, Will Campbell Guys I would be the most happy to see drafted at #10: Mykel Williams, Kelvin Banks, Derrick Harmon Guys I just don't want at #10: Shemar Stewart, Colston Loveland, Mike Green, Josh Simmons

Correct and the pundits will still criticize the “reach”.
