Looks like he’s the Bates replacement rather than the Brown replacement.

If Fautanu is available at 28, you sprint the card up to take him.

A 4th or 5th rounder is a ton of value? Roquan is as get as it gets at the position and went for a 2nd rounder at age 25. McCaffrey went for a 2nd rounder too. Non-rush LB’s are in same boat as RB’s

Doubt he’s worth more than a 4th/5th rounder at this point. LB’s who don’t have double digit sack numbers aren’t valued very highly in today’s NFL. I’ll be glad to have him back, but likely his best days are behind him.

I like Coleman, but I don’t think he’s a great fit with Josh. Josh with his rocket arm is better suited with the separators. Coleman looks more suited to excel with a Burrow type precision passer. Nabers, Thomas, Worthy, Franklin seem more like Josh type WR’s.

Polk is a dawg. Reminds me of Justin Jefferson getting over shadowed by Chase at LSU and everybody thinking he was just a possession receiver.

When it’s put into numbers like that, makes me think we sign a vet like Tyler Boyd. Can’t count on 2 rookie WR’s getting that many targets.

I know the Diggs trade is still a bit shocking, but you don’t trade a young ascending starting RT on a rookie deal. That would make me question whether Beane is doing his best John Butler before he went to the Chargers impression.

No way I’m trading pick 28, pick 60 and next years 1st to move up to pick 9 for a WR. Chiefs traded less to us to move up for a QB.

I agree with this. I think Worthy is actually getting dinged for losing some weight and running the fastest 40. Worthy plays tougher on film than you’d think and he was productive as an 18 year old Freshman. He’s still only 20 years old. He’s almost uncoverable and played well against the best competition. I’d be happy with him at pick 28 but don’t think he lasts that long. Dudes with big play ability and consistent production like that don’t last until pick 28.

Other. Trade back from 28 for a team that wants an OT or Penix/Nix. Take whoever is left from Legette, Mitchell, Franklin, or Worthy. Double dip in the 3rd or 4th round.

Franklin is intriguing. There’s so many good WR’s in this draft that he’s probably being overlooked right now. I like him better than any of the 1st round WR’s last year. Got some Devante Adams to his game. Such a fluid mover.

Agreed. A better more explosive version of Gabe Davis is what this offense needs. Kincaid, Samuel and Shakir can handle the underneath and medium targets. Draft a WR at pick 60. Draft Dejean, Barton or D-Lineman at pick 28.

My right hip hurts watching him kick. He’s the only kicker I’ve seen swing his right leg like his hip has no hinge, instead of stepping into the kick with force. It was probably a matter of time before he was going to have some issues. Hopefully they are correctable.

We need some dudes. Metcalf is one of those. He steps up in the playoffs. He doesn’t get bullied by DB’s when the refs let everything go in the playoffs. He does the bullying. All our skill players are cost controlled for at least 2 years. Trade next years 1st and give him $20m per year over next 3 years. Then draft an O-Lineman at 28 and a WR at 60.

So hypothetically we’re looking at: 1. Nabers for Pick 28, 2024 4th rounder, 2025 1st round, 2025 2nd round 2. Odunze for pick 28, 2024 4th rounder, 2025 1st rounder 3. Thomas Jr for pick 28, 4th rounder, 2025 2nd rounder 4. stay put at 28 and take Mitchell, Franklin, Worthy, Leggette, or McConkey 5. trade pick 28 and a 4th for Aiyuk 6. trade pick 60 and 2025 2nd rounder for Metcalf 7. trade pick 28 and next years 1st for Higgins 8. trade back from pick 28, pick up an extra 3rd and probably pick from the same group in scenario 4 except maybe mitchell and double up on WR in 3rd or 4th round

If 4 QB’s go in the top 4 picks, I could see the Giants trading down for a haul of 2025 picks. If one of the 4 top QB’s falls to 6, Giants probably pull trigger on on a QB, but that means Harrison and Nabers are gone anyway. I could see Beane having deal in place with Bears at 9 also if Odunze is there. Beane probably also has deal in place between pick 16 and 19 for Thomas. If all 3 of those fall through, then we trade pick 28 for Aiyuk. If that falls through, then it’s probably next years 1st for Metcalf. Beane didn’t trade Diggs without at least a 5 deep contingency plan.

Julio Jones trade is best comp. Falcons gave up their 1st, 2nd and 4th round picks then next years 1st and 4th.

They probably do run similar routes, but I’d argue with Josh throwing him the ball that Metcalf would see a jump in production. Metcalf is faster than Davis and bullies DB’s. You can still throw him the ball when he’s doubled.

Are we seriously comparing Gabe Davis and DK Metcalf? What would Gabe’s numbers have been with Geno Smith and Drew Lock throwing him the ball?

Seattle is up against the cap but would actually gain $1m in cap space by trading Metcalf. It’s a new coach, so wouldn’t surprise me if they’d move Metcalf for some premium draft picks. Plus Metcalf probably wants new contract as he’s outplayed his current one. Next years 1st plus swap of 2024 2nd for their 2024 3rd plus one of our 4th’s.

Nabers reminds me of Tyreek Hill. Pure explosiveness. I like Odunze too, but Nabors and Harrison Jr. to me are worth any trade up if somebody in top 5 or 6 is willing to do a trade.

Yes, but we’re not paying any of our skill position players top end of market right now. Shakir, Kincaid and Cook are cost controlled for at least another 2 years. Knox took a paycut. Yes, it would be great if we could draft a stud WR who’s immediately a #1WR but the odds are well below 50% where we are drafting. And I’m not wasting a year of prime Josh on those odds. Give me the 80-90% sure thing in Aiyuk.

Yes please. It would be more expensive in draft capital to go up for one of the top WR’s than it would for Aiyuk. Not interested in the Jalen Reagor/Justin Jefferson roulette game when it comes to drafting WR’s in that range.

Pretty sure if we traded Diggs after June 1st we could’ve split that $31m dead cap between 2024 and 2025.
