Thats a good point i hadn't considered.

Understand your position but the strategic behavior is interesting to me. I like the guess work, but i get it with all the threads it can get tiresome to others. We at least agree on the falcons. I grew up in alabama, but i despise all things atlanta.

I think thats the moral thing to do at this time.

Do you risk a trade with Denver and move back simultaneously rat fuging us and still possibly getting Pitts? Im assuming the dolphins and lions go WR and that bengals go with sewell. That would be the absolute nightmare scenario for me. Although i guess it would mean we could still pick Slater, so not a terrible deal.

Yep. If falcons dont take a qb we will likely throw an offer to the Bengals. They question is if they want Sewell. I think if thats their guy they stay put, despite Slater being available. The nfl is weird, some of these teams will draft for traits above all else. Plus sewell is only just now 20. If hes not, i can see it happening. Then again im not sure what detroit and the eagles want to do. Assuming we stay at 8?

Agree pff has a far different view on a number of guys, tay gowan for instance. Edit: looks like they've blocked access to that link now.

I think the word is Mayfield is better suited to guard but that he doesnt have experience there so its mostly an athletic projection. Sounds like he struggles with fast edge guys, but i havent seen him play so its just second hand.

I said this a few weeks ago and was taking the piss a bit. Looks like itll happen though.

Mond is no better than Grier (likely worse). I watched the guy for four years. At best a discount Jamies Winston. He'll have big games and then disappear for 3.

Guys this link says he has 500 snaps at LT, so maybe he could slot there? Also says he could play guard so probably more of a RT guy. But Moton had the same profile and i thought he did well at left.

I was able to stumble upon this by searching for individual prospects. I tried to find it but i dont think its officially live on the site yet. It wont let me look at individual profiles this way but it gives each players ranking and the ordering. Some may find it interesting. Cheers. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/

Eichenberg is my choice. Not an elite athlete but ready to play. I think this staff would go with Hudson over him due to athletic profile. If tevin jenkins is still there, run to the podium to select. I think he goes first round. D'ante Smith is a good one that will he available late in the second if we trade back. Leatherwood is not a LT imo. Will end up at G. Gives up lots of pressure to the edge.

i actually did a mock draft where every pick was o-line. still thought we had depth issues.

I like you mentioned russell. If we get a guy with a terrible attitude (despite being an all world talent), we'll get the same result. At qb im looking for temperament as much as anything else. How do these guys handle pressure? Are they disciplined? Are they confident without being arrogant? You really need a damn psychologist in the scouting dept.

Honestly who knows. The success rate of picks by me, you, espn, and even the experts doing the drafting often are dead wrong. I think tou look for physical traits but at qb you need the hard worker who will work to correct his flaws.....and is capable of correcting those. How do you measure that ex ante? Likely the player doesnt even know ahead of time. Roll the dice and pray you get lucky.

I could see little slipping a bit since he hasnt played in so long. But hes absolutely a prototypical LT so i doubt he drops that far.

Heres why it wont happen. Too much bad perception. If atlanta did it and the guy worked out, that GM is fired even if their picks work out great. Vice versa for us. If we give atl draft capital and then strike out the the gm is gone.

Remind me in the next life to "butter" Rivera's "bread"

agree Fox and YGM at 3-4 END seems like trouble against the run. i do like the outside LB thing we have going on though.
