DRAFT DRAFT - Top 3 Rounds

[reflexblue]

Go big or go home...

OT and DL in the first three or four picks.

Football is won in the trenches, use the Howie Roseman method.

Bingo, we have bingo

I did the breakdown before but no later than halfway through the 4-year rookie deals all players drafted will sign, I expect there to be an opening for a starter at every single position on the roster outside of QB. (Caveat that at RB Henderson may be the "starter" but there would be a need for a #2 back behind him that will play a starter level workload too with how true one-back backfield teams go with now.) Looking at age and contract status, every position on the roster will have an opening no later than for the 2028 season at which point rookies will only be halfway through their deals.

I don't see it as BPA vs. need. I see it as every single position on this team is a need over the course of these rookie deals so they should draft accordingly.

I'd love Pats to trade our 2nd 4th rounder to move up in the 3rd.
AND trade all of our 6th's for a 4th rounder. We don't need bottom development bodies, we need a handful of guys who can play right away.

Were the Lions good at drafting WRs in the 1st round before Calvin Johnson?

Lol

I agree. They don't need to draft 11 more rookies this year, try to condense the picks to move up for guys they like the most.

Mel Kiper's list. All the big bodies and tackles rise up in the rankings, 7 of them. This is why it's exceedingly hard to draft a tackle. Everyone grabs them. When you get a chance at one, you grab them.
