nosejob

There's zero proof that a rookie will be an upgrade. I'd rather get Darnell Washington in the 2nd. On another note...we have no DTs at he end of this season.

I think Brown is set to have a much better year. He's had back issues, 2 line coaches and 2 O.C.s A full off season with S&C along with 2nd yr. with Kromer and Dorsey. I think for this year, I'd rather draft 2 starting caliber Gs....one being a C/G. Worst case, Bates can play RT. I don't think they feel they need to replace Brown...at least enough to spend their 1st pick on a tackle. I also like Alec Anderson developing. I'm praying McGovern does not = Saffold.

NOW I REALLY LIKE IT

Like having a 2nd RT...great run blocker....and a short to intermediate outlet and end zone target. While I would love Kincaid, I'd also be happy with LaPorta as another receiving weapon....IDK I believe that was referring to when he played. He had Shockey and Kellen Winslow Checked out the 2001 Miami roster.....WOW...unbelievable.

2) would kill 2 birds with one stone....

Not to mention, I believe there are 4 teams with 2 1st rounders. BTW, reaching could be thought off when a team takes a player earlier than projected by the media.

You may be right, but if I'm guessing it'll be like....4 maybe 5 QBs..... 4 to 5 DL.... 4 to 5 OTs ....2 to 3 CBs.... 1 or 2 S....2 TEs. So looking at 18 to 22 pretty much locked in. After that will be a free for all. It would be hard to say a team in the bottom 5 is "reaching".

In my fantasy, Robinson slides to us. Either get a 3rd from the Saints or a 3rd and late rd. from Philly. No to Cincy, or K.C.

Well Jerry's in front of us and the 5 teams behind us could all stand to add inexpensive youth in the middle of their D's. No way he gets to 34. The Steelers 2nd pick is 33. If I could trade down no more than 3 spots to the Saints or Philly, otherwise I'm pulling the trigger.

I'll take D....all of the above.

The thing I don't get is, if ... in the mindset of an owner of a company that employs people in a physical labor area.....What about liability? How do you insure a person like this?....and what are the chances of mental and physical recovery that warrant the position and salary? I had to change careers 3 times due to injuries/surgeries.

I would like to remind Drafters that we have no DTs under contract for next year and maybe instead of taking a RB which is highly unlikely to happen with 6 picks, perhaps think about 2 DLinemen. As of now we have 5. I would look to try to get a 4th out of Settle (who only backed up Jones) and clear 3 mil. off of this year's cap and 1.8 from 2024. As a matter of fact the way things stand now, come this time next year, this will be a far bigger topic than Oline is this year. I'd gladly trade to Houston for that 2nd pick in the 5th.

This right here has me sold. He's gonna be the pick.

Well let me put this in the nicest way. I did look it up and he played OLB/DE at VA.Tech. I can't assume you did.

While I agree with the bolded, I still think he'd be best outside. Last year 1/3rd of the field if not 1/2 was unattended....

I never understood drafting and putting him at MLB. I'm not sure but I don't know if he's ever played anything but DE/OLB before hand. Who knows? Maybe Chicago will make something out of him.

I wouldn't mind if they took Kancey at 27 and I agree with you. But, if Nolan Smith is sitting there..... EDIT: The above only if Campbell's gone.

Maybe at 205. We need a LB / C/G / WR / S in the 1st 4 picks in some order....and don't discount that there could be a day 1 starter at corner at 27. It wouldn't surprise me to hear the BPA bit there.

Yes but he could be listed as an OLB and used to pass rush. Looked like speed and potential against the Bears.

There is no Way in Hell they take him at 27, He would get us good trade out of the spot value though. I don't see them taking a RB until maybe a big body UFDA. How many backs do you think they'll dress/play/carry? I highly doubt he makes it to us anyway.

....And he oozes McD. He's exactly a guy McD can mold. Hopefully, they'll employ a little more 4-3. I think Rapp will split time with Taron. There could be some combos they could play with. Bernard/ Spector... Campbell .... Milano. Rapp...Campbell...Milano. Campbell ... Milano ... KIngsley Jonathan ( who by the way was or would have been the no.1 overall pick in the CFL), I expect to make the 53, as a pass rushing OLB. The point is I'm hoping we are in the position to send LB blitzes from anywhere at will and on almost every down. With a steady rotation of LB blitzes that gives us a 5-2-4 vs. a 4-2-5. There's absolutely no reason we shouldn't be able to play way more man with Poyer and Hyde on the back end. No more base nickel.

That leads me to further believe he's the target.

Between 28 and 42, he's as good as gone.

I think the problem is the Steelers picking 17 and 33. No matter if they take BPA tackle or Joey Porter, I'm willing to bet they go LB at 33. They probably view him as Jack Campbert. If the Bills gamble on getting him in the 2nd, they have to manufacture a pick between 33 and 48 cause Pitt. picks again at 49....not to mention that stretch of picks are teams most likely to bleed the Defensive talent pool dry. Actually, I think no matter what, we need to come up with a higher 2nd while keeping 59. I would trade next year's 1st in a heartbeat to do it....and ( possibly a 4th ). I think then (with the 2nd pick in the 5th, we can knock this one out of the park. If Robinson falls to us, I'm looking to move down and deal to the Saints or Philly at 29 or 30 and pick up an extra 3rd. That being said, I'm guessing the Bills pick will come down to ( Darnell Wright, Nolan smith, Kincaid or Meyer, Kancey, Campbell or BPA corner. Assuming the TEs are gone and I don't think they feel BPA is Oline where they pick, they may have to take a chance.

First post with Robinson 1st pick.......🤨
