BuffaloBillyG Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 10 minutes ago, LEBills said: With the 13th pick, the Las Vegas Raiders select Taliese Fuaga, OT, OSU . @frostbitmic Is now on the clock. Laitu was so enticing, we had to hold Antonio Pierce back. Though we want the defensive line to be a strength we don’t want to hamper the growth of Tyree Wilson. Cornerback was also in consideration for this pick but we like the depth later in the draft. Since we blew up our offensive line a few years ago we have been looking to rebuild it. Once we do that we can think about adding a top QB prospect next year. Adding Fuaga gives us a cornerstone RT. HC Pierce is an old school linebacker so you know he believes in setting the tone and being nasty up front. Pierce really does come across as a build the trenches guy. He wants mean and nasty and to remake the old time "Raider Way". If successful, he could be the Dan Campbell of the AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a “trades” draft, we’re going to look to stock some draft capital. Are we tanking for Sanders? Maybe. But it’s a good QB class in 25. Anyway, that QB will need weapons… With the 12th pick in the 2024 draft the Denver Broncos select Brian Thomas, WR, LSU. He might not be the best WR in this class but we’re probably trading Sutton who is going to be 29 in October. We need to have a rookie on a first round rookie contract. @LEBills and the Raiders are on the clock. Who’s going to throw him the ball?

TheWeatherMan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 54 minutes ago, section122 said: 4 Qbs and 4 WRs in the first 12 picks. I wonder if that has ever happened? Also only 2 defenders taken so far and both edge rushers. Some interesting trends developing. Not a chance 4 WRs go top 12. The last time the Giants passed on a QB to draft a skill position it didn’t work out very well for them. Denver selecting the 4th best WR at 12 when they have no QB is laughable. They are either trading up for a QB or trading down for a 1st + in next years draft to have ammo for one. There’s a good chance 5 QBs go high with Penix possibly penetrating the top 15. Personally, I think there are way too many crappy teams that will be looking to find a cornerstone QB or build the trenches first before spending a top 10 pick on a WR.

Allen2Moulds Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 10 hours ago, BuffaloBillyG said: With the 6th pick, the New Jersey Giants select: Rome Odunze, WR, Washington Serious thought was given to going QB in this spot. But frankly, it doesn't matter who the QB is if they don't have an Alpha receiver to throw to. Enter Odunze who I feel could have the most successful NFL career of the top 3 WRs long term. Excellent size and strength Odunze can step right in on day 1 giving us that #1 WR we haven't had since early OBJ. The Tennessee Titans and @MrEpsYtownare now on the clock. Solid/Accurate pick in my opinion. Albert Breer was just on the Rich Eisen show, and shared that the NYG was spending a lot of time with Odunze. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just to counter that, is it better to take the 4th best WR or the 5th best QB? Taking the 5th best QB could set back a franchise even more. Taking the WR probably is setting up Denver to draft early next year and they could end up with a much better prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 3 hours ago, Logic said: Agreed. I maintain that it's a moot point, because Daniels is going to Washington at 2. The selection of Kliff Kingsbury as OC, the signing of Mariota as backup QB...everything points to a certain kind of RPO, movement, and spread system that they want to run, and Jayden Daniels is the man to run it. Williams to the Bears and Daniels to the Commanders are picks I'd feel comfortable writing in permanent marker right now, and betting real money on. Beyond that, it's all a crapshoot. They said that about Darnold going to the Browns before it came down to Baker or Allen. I have heard some things from people I trust who have been reliable that Maye is still very much in play for Commanders. Still very well could be Daniels, but from I am hearing is that both Maye and Daniels have their supporters within the Commanders and that they are both still being openly discussed and weighed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logic given for Denver does make sense though. If the GM and Coach know they have 2024 regardless just pick a guy your QB will use in the future. I think they will take whoever their QB4/5 is at #12. But if they don't the Thomas pick makes some sense to me. 2 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: They said that about Darnold going to the Browns before it came down to Baker or Allen.

Its probably more that maybe Jayden is the front runner, but I am told they haven't made a final decision. Im just relaying what they told me, and the person I am talking to has direct inside insight in Washington. All they said was that both still have their supporters (didn't indicate how much for either) and they don't feel they need to rush the final decision and still discussing all options. But take that FWIW, just something being passed down, have no idea how accurate it is or isn't, just sharing.

Kirby Jackson Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 (edited) With the 15th pick, the Indianapolis Colts select Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo @CNYfan is on the clock. The Colts have a big need in the secondary and they pick up the draft’s top CB. They considered a pass rusher here but Mitchell’s performance at the Senior Bowl stuck in our minds. With so many great WRs entering the league you need high end CBs that can play in multiple schemes. The Colts were near the bottom of the league in turnovers. His ball skills are appealing.

CNYfan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 With the 16th pick in the TSW 2024 1st Mock Draft the Seattle Seahawks select Troy Fautanu OL Washington. While this is a "need" selection, and the room was divided with many arguing that the UCLA pass rusher was a higher graded player, the fact that there is no 2nd rounder to find immediate OL help caused the decision to tip in this direction. Also, if there were a trade back that may have been the play, as there is OL help later in the first, with a chance to have 2 day 2 picks. This player will start at left guard and has the length and quickness to move outside to tackle eventually.

Personally, I think there are way too many crappy teams that will be looking to find a cornerstone QB or build the trenches first before spending a top 10 pick on a WR. It's not anywhere near as crazy as you'd think. There's only 4 QB's considered Top Half of Round 1 prospects. I've heard it wondered by some if McCarthy's climb as of late isn't as real in league circles as it seems from experts, ala "Will Levis could go #1" last season. Though I do believe he still goes Top 12. But Penix and Nix are looked at as fringe 1st Round Picks and it wouldn't shock me in the least if they weren't selected Day 1. Selecting one of them at 12 would be way more of a need pick than a value pick. And we've seen of late that even QB needy teams would rather wait than overdraft a QB in Round 1. On the flip side, i've been noticing BTJ going higher and higher in mocks lately. I don't know if that's Post Combine excitement from experts or people hearing things. But it's really not uncommon to see him in the 12-15 range of late. 4 QB's and 4 WR's in the top 12 isn't insane this year. Especially when you consider it's almost a given that most feel 4 QB's and 3 WR's are expected to go in the top 7-10 picks.
