I have bad memory when it comes to every single move we make in the draft. Of course I remember the players and rd they were taken, but was somewhat surprised when I read this today: "New England traded down four times in last year's draft compared to just one trade up". Of course that's not...

The real question is who will your next avatar be?

And our line problems were predominantly on the left side playing 2 rooks. One still hurt and one playing out of position. We were also terrible picking up the blitz. A year experience, health, a position switch and AVT should all help.

Pass rush is a huge area of need…for me. This goes back to last Oct when we were approaching the trade deadline. Tommy wanted a safety, I was pounding the table for an Edge. Jones and a maybe healthy Landry plus the young guys isn’t enough, we need an upgrade. I think it should be in the...

Bonito was a 2nd rd pick

Yup. Eagles have been really good at letting the draft come to them and taking superior talent even if it's not a need. I firmly believe Edge is our biggest need, but if we get to 31 and your highest rated Edge available is someone you have ranked 40th, and there's a RT that slips that you have...

I do too, and I have said many times you don't draft for one year. That said we are absolutely in win now mode, and I don't see Vrabs sacrificing the now for the future. It's a very fine line to walk, but we are absolutely good enough to compete for a SB this year. Not all teams can say that...

Remember people were warning about taking Drake because of the UNC QB failures. I never buy that narrative. When was the last time a QB from Texas Tech was any good before Mahomes, or a QB from Wyoming before Josh?

It’s always a balance. But there is literally zero chance Vrabel is not trying to compete for a SB this year. Of course it’s about the outyears too. He’s a smart guy, he knows we need to improve our pass rush. If we can do that while still taking an OT at 31 then that’s fine, but Edge needs...

What a ridiculous thread.

You could use those same arguments for us. We are in win now mode too, so drafting a guy to sit on the bench isn’t ideal. I am not in the “don’t draft a RT in the 1st group”, but it is something to consider. If we can still land an impact edge I’m fine with OT in the first, but we really need to...

Stribling had 2 very good games against Georgia, that definitely will get the attention of NFL GMs.

It’s always an evaluation that is hard to get right. I like Lance, he was very productive but played much weaker competition, which will be factored into the equation.

Maybe 2nd

So based off different rankings, he’s anywhere from a fringe 3rd to an UDFA. Which is most reasonable….,no one really knows, it’s all guesses. The fact that he’s had top 30 visits would indicate he’s not an UDFA and would be more indicative than so called “experts” rankings. There could be...

Not a fan of a punter in the 7th, but overall it's a pretty solid draft.

I prefer an all around TE, but those guys are not easy to find, usually you are sacrificing blocking or receiving. I'm sure no one would mind picking Stowers if he turned into Travis Kelce. I will take Gronk over Kelce 8 days a week, but I would also take prime-time Kelce on my team every day.

Just takes one team. Because the rankings are so varied, there could easily be a guy at 31 that some team has ranked higher. They don't know if another team ahead of them has similar interest in that player. Also, as you get later towards the end of the 1st there's bound to guys that slide...

100%. A guy like DDS could sneak into the end of the first rd if a team loved him....or he could be available late 3rd. As you mentioned, there are so many guys in this same scenario, Stowers included. This is also why trading back makes so much sense if our targets at 31 are gone.

Good word, and fitting. I certainly wouldn't want to leave Edge that late, but some pretty good picks really. If I tried to do a Bucs draft I would fail miserably, so kudos to them for being pretty much on target
