This is probably my dream scenario. I would go for any of the big three Cs with the first pick, Barton just happened to be there:

Great write up, I would be with be super happy with your picks at 33 and 39.

Jpj  and then the best pass rusher or cb.

 

I don't think wr is out biggest need at all.  

I agree with you 100%

This is a really interesting guy as well. Should be a lot of good non WRs available at 33 and 39

This is also how Dan Snyder started out, BTW. 

Snyder started out by spending tons of money on big name has beens. Very different imo.

I liked him much more in 2022. Still no other player is getting picked apart like Drake. Honestly I'm starting to see a little of the issues, but I still got him firmly as a top ten pick. 

The thing is that he didn’t play his senior season in HS, sat his FR year in college and only started two seasons. He is wasaaaasy further along that the other QBs were at the same point in their career (maybe outside of Caleb). They are comparing him to older players that started 5-6 years in college. I don’t get it to be honest. Old QBs do not have a good history in the draft 

Chop Robinson and best C (JPJ, Graham Barton or Zach Frazier).

Here’s Brugler’s take. He could definitely be worth a gamble with our pick in the 4th round.

What does this mean for his draft stock?

Despite an All-American 2023 season, Sweat entered the draft process with several questions to answer in NFL team interviews. According to a team source, he was up front with teams about his “partying” as an underclassman and made it a point of emphasis to teams that it was all in the past.

A DWI charge three weeks before draft weekend obviously won’t help give NFL teams confidence about his off-field decision-making and focus. Because of these concerns, Sweat is a very hard player to project in the NFL Draft. Based on feedback from teams, my best guess is he will still be available as we start day three of the NFL Draft in the fourth round. — Dane Brugler, national NFL writer

Drake would have been my #1 choice over Caleb.

One of my favorites. He should fall to the third round at least, right? But can he be trusted moving forward? If you can’t keep it together when the draft is 2-3 weeks away, not great.

if jpj drops to 33, (spoiler he wont) Morgan has to run the card up to the podium ASAP

 

I dont see any mock where he as falling, crazier things have happened but if he stumbles he should most def be the pick, kid is an animal

I have a feeling that either him or Chop Robinson will be there at 33, and if so it should be a no brainer. Not sure how good of an indication mock drafts are, but both have started to slip to late 1st, and occasionally, early second lately.

What about Dawn Staley as a potential new coach? Tremendous college coach. Lots of energy and charisma. Probably a long shot, but I’m intrigued.

Good. Possibly 5 QBs go as well, we grab a top 20 talent player at CB or DE if this happens. A run on any specific position + the super deep QB class this year only helps us 

And there will be tons of OTs going as well, I think we will get a very very good non WR at 33, and potentially 39, and then draft a WR in round 3.

Yeah I don’t doubt it. The only reason I know who he is is because I ran a draft simulator a few times and it was always him and Kris Jenkins son on the board as best available for our 4th round pick so I looked them up to see the difference. Thought it might be nice to pick up a big space eater like Sweat in those mid rounds but not keen on the positional value earlier when we already have Robinson.

I love the idea of Sweat as well, but I have no idea of what would be too high for him. I’d be happy to take him with one of our second rounders, but that might be over drafting, but I’d be celebrating lol

Like actually wtf. New assholes same as the old I guess. This franchise is doomed.

I think this might be something they just said, it is rare someone says “yeah we were firing him anyway”.

I have said plenty about Legette over several threads. You've offered nothing except that he reminds you of Mingo. That's it. 

Anyone can see that he's big, strong, explosive, tracks the ball with the best of them which, obviously has strong hands, has great hops, and because of the latter three he has an excellent catch radius. These are obvious to anyone who has watched his plays. Also obvious is the fact that true speed is reflected in his game speed, as he's run away from NFL-caliber DBs. As a matter of fact, anyone who has done their research knows that his damned-near 23MPH would've been faster than any receiver in the NFL last season. 

Now, honestly, I've heard that he's a better than average blocker, but I haven't watched that aspect of his game.

You know, If I wasn't dealing with you or the Huddle, I may have been offended by your decidedly provocative insinuation that I don't know how to form my own opinion, or that I haven't offered anything other than links---maybe in this thread, but of course limiting my content to only this thread seems kind of contrived---but I am dealing with the normal craziness of this place so I am more amused than offended. 

I am comfortable with differing opinions, and I appreciate the ones that are well researched, or at least well thought out. 

 

I’m looking for someone that can get open quickly, is already a good route runner, great at creating separation. And from what I’ve seen and read, that’s not Legette. 

Without that skill set, how do you think he’ll fit in our offense? And why don’t you think those skills are important?

I would be very disappointed with this draft. A raw older WR with limited route tree who struggles to get open and an injury prone LB? Yikes

it's funny how you go through phases (or at least i do) where i see this one guy and think "he really needs to be here" so he shows up consistently in mocks. i'm leaning that way with Pearsall. There's quite a few WRs i like and would be great with them coming here, but for about a week now Pearsall is that guy for me. I want us to double dip (at least) at WR and i don't really care which one it is that we pair with him, as long as we can manage to get him.

I was all about JPJ at C for us (would still be my #1 pick, but I don’t think he’ll be there). But now I’m all about Sweat. Would make our D-Line amazing.

Post Clowney

I would do Sweat instead of Wilson, but otherwise close to the ideal draft. I like the idea of Limmer getting a year or two behind Corbett and then taking over.

Maybe. Every year I kept thinking Burns would break out and it never happened. It was same ole, same ole. He would show up for a few snaps a game, maybe get a sack, and then disappear. 
If he does show improvement it will lower my opinion of him even more. 

Burns best game will be against us as it is his “prove you wrong” game. And media will eat it up and ignore the rest of his season that will be good, but not great. Certainly not what they paid $30M for.

I really like what we’ve done in free agency so far, both in terms of signings and trades. But the real test will be the draft, but I’m optimistic about Dan at this point.

Lassiter's timed speed is definitely concerning, no doubt about it. Keep in mind that Josh Norman ran similarly, then again he was also a 5th round pick in large part because of it.

I'm a big fan of Cade Stover. It wouldn't shock me if he continues the trend of third and fourth tier TE prospects who prove to be better than more hyped prospects.

I’m with you on stover, has a very similar profile to other star TEs that were overlooked in the draft as well.
