Pick your flavor. Consensus board has Parker, Howell, and Young in the area. Talks of Jacas and Lawrence cracking Round 1. Id take any of them, but I prefer more speed rushers. My preferred option would be to trade down, get some extra ammo, then move back up from 63 or 95 to target guys.

It'll certainly depend on how the draft unfolds. But Id be very surprised if they waited until the 5th to take a TE. Personally, i do think value will be there in the 3rd and 4th.

Because we have 2 starters and a good backup. A day 3 guy can fill the #4 spot. Onwenu himself was a day 3 pick that started right away. You can find immediate depth on day 3 for a guard spot. I dont even factor Wallace into the discussion. Why would you use a Rd 1 or Rd 2 pick on a 4th...

Theres no need to offset anything. They have plenty of cap space to absorb Thobodeaux. They could acquire Thibodeaux, keep Onwenu, and still have plenty of cash left over to still make moves. Trading Onwenu just doesnt make sense. Its at best a lateral move. Probably a downgrade. Onwenu was...

I know what you mean. But its not like Kittle is the only one. Juwan Johnson and Darren Waller didnt even play TE in college. AJ Barner, Dalton Schultz, Cade Otton, and Dawson Knox were 3rd or 4th rounders that didnt produce much in college. TE production in college is affected by so much...

Statistical production isnt the best way to judge tight ends. Some offenses simply juat dont involve them. George Kittle is the poster boy for that. In Klein's case, he was actually the teams 3rd leading receiver this year. In catches and yards. Theynhad a true freshman QB and only averaged 186...

A month or two there was a debate between McShay and Muench on McShay's pod. Muench isnt a big Miller fan. Thinks he gets beat by speed and power and will struggle in pass pro. I always thought it was interesting that they had completely differing opinions.

McShay has him at #5 right now as well. I think 2 weeks ago he had him at #4.

Someone with kick return ability, hopefully. Adam Randall is the popular choice. Has some KR ability, receiving ability, and is big. Could possibly fill a lot of roles. And as the RB3, gets time to further hone is RB skills/instincts.

Seems like overkill on the OL. I understand the importance of the OL but youre placing more emphasis on '27 needs than '26. This team can compete this year. They need an impact on the field from their early picks. They cant take 2 guys who could potentially redshirt all year with their 1st 2...

Maybe he does go before 31. It seems like hes slid out of the first round with the concerns. I dont think he makes it to 63, but i dont think hes a 1st rounder, either. But someone may pull the trigger. I just meant too risky for the Patriots at 31, but the reward outweighs the risk at 63.

Not a fan. Im not the biggest OT in the 1st round guy, but i at least understand the value. But if you go OT in Rd1, you cannot wait until the late 4th for an edge. I like Stribling at 95, but not at 63. I get hes rising on boards, but simply better WR's available. Brazzell and Hurst still...

Injury risk. Big man with recurring foot problems. Also not the biggest need. If an edge is taken at 31, I see the upside and bpa angle at 63. But too much risk for 31.

Mankins wasnt drafted with the possibility of sitting, or cutting the teams best OL to make room for him. If the team didnt sign AVT, you could argue it makes sense. With the clear and obvious needs elsewhere, or the potential need for a more valuable position(OT), it just doesnt make sense...

Definitely one of the things on my mind when projecting who they might take. Lazar seems to think a speed guy is the preference, because thats the mold from last year. But then they went out and targeted Jones early, which is a bit of a combo. I feel like speed is a need, because even...
