I don't like Tet in the top half of the 1st....being heavily over rated because of a poor class.....His profiles have too much "separation issues" and "great contested catch" for me to be interested. If he couldn't get open in the Big12 how is is going to get open in the NFL.

A WR in the top of the draft should be able to get himself open, not need to be schemed open.

Every receiver like him reminds me of N'Keal Harry. I would rather go with blue smurfs that Josh can scheme. I like Xavier Restrepo, but he won't make it out of round 2.
 
1) If Hunter is there at #4 take him and put him primarily at WR. He’s a weapon out there.

2) Trade a 3rd for Kupp (I know some are down on this, but his smarts and route running could really excel in McD offense)

3) Sign Alaric Jackson

4) Sign Morgan Moses


QB: Maye
RB: Stevenson/Gibson
WR: Hunter
WR: Kupp
WR: Douglas
TE: Henry
LT: Jackson
LG: Strange
C: Andrews
RG: Onwenu
RT: Moses

strange will be your starting C - I have real doubts that Andrews will be back at all, let alone ready to start out of camp
 
People are saying the Browns taking Carter to pair him with Miles Garrett would be formidable and in fact, it would. It makes a lot of sense.

Some teams won't solve their QB situation in this draft or FA and just have to swallow the pill and wait for a better opportunity.

I think Sanders will drop to the Raiders who will be there waiting for him with no need to trade up.

It's obvious the Hunter/Carter duo is going 1-2. I would be happy with Graham: with the Barmore situation. The Draft is Very Deep @ Edge so if Barmore comes back him and Graham would be formidable Inside.

I don’t know how Browns and Giants skip QB’s.

I expect they both reach for QB out of desperation but we will see if one gets desperate in FA for Darnold instead

I think it’s obvious the number 1 pick was not going to get a ton in trade if we had it. Tho we could have gotten something and gone back to 4.

So then the Giants take Ward? If thats the case then Graham would come to us and I would be ok with that. But if Hunter/Carter/Graham goes it puts us in a more awkward position. I hope when we are up there is a clear selection to be made and not trading down and praying to not miss out on the handful of blue chips this draft class has.

You could almost argue the Titans should consider a qb. Levis's stats were not good.

 
That marshmallow man is from earlier in January not from senior bowl, he has similar body concerns as Bresee did coming out of college but not necessarily a negative if he works at it his upside becomes incredible. Everyone still has him in the top 6, he’s not dropping at all.
Graham is a day 1 starter, if he has the work ethic he’s a future all pro, if he’s lazy and not going to work his body he’ll still be a solid player.
That’s why you interview these guys.
On tape he’s a top 5 pick but you need to know his work ethic.
I've seen him dropping in mocks over the last couple of days/

They definitely should take a QB. But the QBs aren't great and I'm not sure the coach/GM feel on the hot seat enough to be desperate enough to take a QB first.

That daming Watson situation handicapped the Browns... they're are going to have to pass on a First Round QB now. I can see them selection one in the Second or Third just not in the First. Again Thanks to Mayo wanting to win a meaningless game. Now we are out of the Carter/Hunter sweepstakes.
 
The Browns are in salary cap hell, only the Saints have it worse than them. They’re stuck paying Watson who may not play for them this year, Winston is a free agent, and they only have Thompson-Robinson under contract at QB. They can’t afford to splurge in free agency at QB and will need to strongly consider taking either Ward or Sanders with their 2nd overall pick. They need a cost-controlled, long-term option. There’s just no way all three teams pass on QB, so you can count on at least one of the premium defensive options (Hunter/Carter/Graham) to be there at 4.
 
So then the Giants take Ward? If thats the case then Graham would come to us and I would be ok with that. But if Hunter/Carter/Graham goes it puts us in a more awkward position. I hope when we are up there is a clear selection to be made and not trading down and praying to not miss out on the handful of blue chips this draft class has.
The most likely situation is that Ward is the only QB drafted in the top 5. If the Titans pass on him, the Browns will get him, if the Browns pass on him, the Giants will 100% get him.

Sanders is a huge reach and it would be frankly insane to get him that high.

So I don't really expect Carter or Hunter to be there when we pick. The question basically comes down to me if they want Graham or Tet.
 
They definitely should take a QB. But the QBs aren't great and I'm not sure the coach/GM feel on the hot seat enough to be desperate enough to take a QB first.
You could argue that every team in front of us should grab a QB, but the QB's in this draft are mediocre. One of them will get Ward because he's the only solid prospect. Sanders isn't. The other problem with Sanders is that he's a high floor/low ceiling QB. So I can't even see teams hyping themselves up beyond reason based off unlocking his potential or whatever.

Dude is 6'3 320 playing on the line, this isn't the Mr. Olympia we are talking about. But thats our mediots for ya, have to find something to talk about. I have watched the tape, he man handles linemen and has a motor always going after the ball carrier. I couldn't care less what he looks like with his shirt off. Some of the best boxers and MMA fighters look like they never set foot in a weight room but are the best in the world at what they do. I hope teams sleep on this kid and we snatch him up.
 
I'm not sure if people in this thread are paying attention to the Senior Bowl, but Graham has been dropping like a rock because he showed off his Dad bod and one of the scouts labeled him the Marshmallow man.

This happens every year. It happened to Brock Bowers last year. If you ever see Bower's body, he looks like he's delivery UPS packages (no offense to UPS drivers).

Graham does not look the part. One thing these GMs try to avoid at all costs is picking an obvious flop with such premium resources. I honestly think they'd rather take Tony Mandarich so they can tell their owners, "Look at him! How could we have known he was going to flop?!?!"

Some guys don’t have the genetics to have a pretty body. Graham is said to have great conditioning and to be very strong. If it is the case that a pro style strength and conditioning program can help him replace 15 pounds of fat with 15 pounds of muscle, watch out. He’s already a dominant player.
 
History says we get a better than 50% chance at a recurring pro bowl caliber player, not bad odds. You win with all pro or pro bowl players mostly thru the draft and then fill in around those core players.

We have Maye and Gonzalez, need to add a 3rd one this draft and hopefully a 4th in FA and we are on the way to a solid rebuild,
 
So then the Giants take Ward? If thats the case then Graham would come to us and I would be ok with that. But if Hunter/Carter/Graham goes it puts us in a more awkward position. I hope when we are up there is a clear selection to be made and not trading down and praying to not miss out on the handful of blue chips this draft class has.
Hunter/Carter/Graham would be a disaster, and I doubt anyone would give up much to move up to get in front of Raiders for Sanders or Ward. Forced to pick at #4 I guess you go Campbell but I would be tempted to take Warren

100% correct that this would be a disaster. At 4 if you can not trade down and hunter, carter and graham are off the board

I think you would have to take campbell.

Unfortunately this scenario is actually possible

FU Mayo for costing us the #1 overall and a shot at a playmaker

Then you find a team like the saints who might be willing to trade ahead of the Raiders for a QB and it would cost them a lot to go that far.

I find it hard to believe that one of the QBs doesn't go top 3. I would think it's more likely that 2 QBs go than none.

Sanders doesn't have a cannon arm but he's acccurrare: reminds me of Drew Brees. I think closer to the Draft he will rise. Rise my Son he's alive.
