Yeah that's fine if people actually watched tape and knew he actually plays 1 tech and is now around 305. The kid is 6'4 and ripped, it's not like we drafted a 6 foot kid who is 250 to play DT.

We need to draft a punter, we have terrible punters. We probably throw that in to a trade up though.

Not surprised by the level of ignorance in this thread, but the whining is pretty bad. We Traded 56, 62, 109. Total value is 212 We received 41, 72, 240. Total value is 214 This is in NO WAY a bad trade. https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart-Rich-Hill.asp?

The complete DTs are pretty much gone. It should be DB or trade back. I would be unhappy trading up for a 5'11 WR when we have major needs on D

Well I hated them before, now even more

Gotta be Will Johnson

Nice to have Offensive players ranked above 30 on most big boards going before us.

That's not unlikely, it's been reported if Barron is on the board we trade with PIT

DE?

He's very good. He is going to a team with no offensive line so he better be.

Distractions are things like mouthing off in the locker room and refusing to play. Cook isn't being a distraction, his brother is but he is not. He will play on his rookie contract this year and then leave next year and we will draft his replacement. Dalvin tweeting 20M on the eve of the draft is kindergarten negotiating tactics that he somehow thinks will encourage a trade. No one cares. We made an offer, it was not to Cook's liking. He tried to ask for an exorbitant amount and Beane walked away from the table and announced negotiations are over. There is no negotiation, these ridiculous Dalvin tweets accomplish nothing but alienating James from the fans. What is Cook going to do, sulk and give poor effort in his contract year? He'll never see the bag he wants that way. He has no choice but to show up, play as well as he can and then leave and hand us a comp pick on his way out of the door. I very much doubt he's getting traded, this should be another solid year of production for us for cheap.

Tai Felton is not a 1st Rd pick and Kool-Aid McKinstry, who goes the pick before to the commanders at 29 was drafted in the second round of the 2024 draft. ChatGPT is less capable of predicting picks than a magic 8-ball.

There is no reason to trade him. Just let him play out his contract, do something for this team and collect a comp pick when he leaves.

It's just a dumb negotiating tactic to see if he gets moved before the draft to a team that wants to pay him. Unfortunately for him there are a number of B+ running backs out there. If I had to put money on it, he grumbles and complains and plays out his last year hear and then leaves to some bad franchise who he can trick into giving him a bag who don't have a decent line and he goes the way of Gabe Davis. We will pick a RB in the 3-4th rd next year and roll with that the rookie and our other 2 guys and not drop off all that much. There are a lot of B+ RBs out there, they don't usually get 15M like Cook wants... He's a top 10 rb, not top 5. Top 3-4 guys get paid. Unfortunate for him but expected. I suspect McGovern leaves after this season as well, but without the theatrics that make people turn on Cook. It's clear that Beane is tired of the distraction Cook is causing already.

Traded back in Rd 1 to pick up 68 then packaged some picks to move up for Landon Jackson and a couple smaller trades to move around the board to get IOL and the TE I wanted. I really like TeSlaa and he's my guy if we go WR late, good speed and good blocker. After looking at their board PFN grades are just way off. Farmer is going no later than the top half of rd 3 imo and in the opinion of most other drafts.

Traded away next year's first and a couple picks to move all the way up for Carter. Left us with only 6 picks but managed to get all the positions I saw a need for

Trey Amos should be there at 30, I think he's a 1st rd CB. If they want to stick at 30 and pick him I'm ok with that, but I'd be happy to trade back and pick up Porter, Hairston or Thomas and recover a 3rd we could spend on a WR.

No idea who he's talking about. I presum Desmond Watson, who I think is a UDFA

You talking about Deone Walker? I'm not a big fan of taking him where he's graded. He should be a rd 5+ pick.

I would like to trade out of Rd 1 to pick up a third then draft a CB with our first pick, then draft Edge and DT with our second rd picks. Take Kyle Williams or Royals in the 3rd. After that they can do whatever they want. I would also like to double dip at both DT and CB because we don't have depth at those positions that I'm willing to bank on.

A lot of these draft services just have people hanging around way longer than they should. I very much doubt Landon Jackson, Tyliek or Amos are going to be there in rd 2 for us without a trade up. I see some drafts with us getting Grant and then one of these other guys in the second. I would love that but I think all of those players will be gone by 50.
