Taylor Hall for game 2

I am talking about draft analysts. 1-1 comparison. And the easier question to answer would be: which analysts did not endorse the worthiness of Young? It was near unanimous.

Safety is a little rich in the first round.

BPA is based on the board, not the WR position. Some want to make it about WR because of their own notions, but it's about the board and whoever is at the top of it.

The goddamn Germans got nothin' to do with it.

I mean, it's really not germaine to the ultimate point, which is what was quoted.

There is a strange obsession with wanting to win a super bowl with an elite qb and poor team around them

And what analysts are those? The ones I listen to say that this is the year to finally get our answer about whether he's the future or not. As a matter of fact I haven't heard anyone endorse him, it's all based in hope for the nice guy.

We have to admit there's a problem first. Signing Kenny Pickett isn't a good sign that we're getting there. Evidently we're allergic to QBs with NFL arms.

This is what Fitts did. He panicked and ended up on the end of runs or just completely out of position. Reading the draft is a gift and not one he had ever been given.

Interesting to see other teams outlooks on the draft. To be taken with several large grains of salt. Veach seems to suggest OT is the value at end of the first with WR being a better value in mid rounds. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/kansas-city-chiefs-draft/199047/pockets-value-brett-veach-talks-chiefs-draft

Lacuck is fantastic!

Hurricanes would have a problem against this Flyers team.

Giants are definitely going WR. Might see multiple off the board before 19.

For better or worse the front office will want to give LaMelo one more season. Coby is actually quite clutch. He was everything I expected him to be when we traded for him. Huge upgrade over Colin Sexton. He basically saved us against the Heat. I have no idea if he will actually want to sign here long term though.

I got 6 inches I can spare

they have pick 5 and 10....this not considered a great draft with 10 to 12 players with 1st round trades, but looks like they'll get 2 of them. Or they could trade back for significant capital

Massive win for the Giants

wow, pick #10 traded for Lawrence https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/2045660038488817698

I've got no issues bringing him in as an udfa. Doesn't really cost us anything other than a roster spot. I'm just hoping we get serious about improving our QB room.

You left off the beginning of that reply by Gantt. Why the heck is there still an offensive lineman in the mock draft, Kenyon Sadiq or KC Concepcion, or Ahkeem Mesidor, all the way!!!! — Niko, Phoenix, AZ Those are all valid thoughts, but so are all the tackles you keep seeing pop up in the mock drafts, and there's a reason for that. Partially because that's a perennial need for good teams, no matter how good your starters are. And partially because there's a good amount of really good offensive linemen in this year's class. For the Panthers in particular, there's actually a reasonable case for getting younger up front, and the temptation of a first-round tackle is real. Taylor Moton's still playing the kind of football that merited an extension last year, but he's 32. On the other side, you have Rasheed Walker and Ikem Ekwonu on one-year deals, and Ekwonu's also coming back from a torn patellar tendon. Even inside, Robert Hunt and Damien Lewis are in their prime years, but Hunt's turning 30 this year, and Lewis is 29. So much of what the Panthers are going to do next week isn't dictated by their preference, but by what happens above them. That's another benefit of not getting locked into need. For instance, if you're thinking you want a receiver, seeing five or six of them go off the board and reacting by taking the sixth or seventh off your list instead of the first (or second or third) something else isn't necessarily wise

This happens nearly every time a team picks a QB in round 1.

Lol Falcons, I bet Pierce was half their grade. And no pick this year, heh.

It will be pretty hard to equal the impact in the broad sense of immediate returns across the board, of last season. The higher the floor sits, the tougher it is to raise it. So in a sense last year was a lot easier than this year. We still have a few spots that are low hanging fruit. I have looked at these WRs a little bit. If we can’t get the USC kid, what is the point of 1st round WR? They either don’t really have the hands, or they are just carbon of what we already have, I don’t see the attraction. It seems to me that a lot of the BPA people are all over WR, which I believe they see as a need. It is basically incognito need drafting unless you really get a big time guy.
