He'll be top a 15 guy, if not top 10 before the draft. I think he will test through the roof. RAS people will go crazy.

Yup, 1.0. So don't take it too seriously.

I can't see us taking another WR in the first round. Not to mention Tyson should already be gone. My understanding is if it weren't for injury concerns, he's be WR1.

I still call BS on Bryce being 5'10". He's north of 5'8" but under 5'10". He my be 200 pounds now (maybe), but when he got here was 185 soaking wet.

I hope the Raiders doesn't tank Mendoza's career. The dude has serious promise, but he can only do so much for as a dumpster fire organization with their massive limitations.

I just came across this. I'm telling y'all Dallas has an monster boner for this guy. NO WAY he lasts until #19. It's silly to keep mocking him to the Panthers unless you have a trade ahead of the Cowgirls.

Okay, the way I understand the trade according to one article I read is the 7th got flipped to a 5th. so we gained a 5th and lost our 7th. Is that correct?

do we have pick #235 or not? Some sites have us with it and some have the Vikings. I know it was part of the Thielen trade, but I thought due to playing time, we got it back.

I'm consistently mocking OT, ILB, Edge, CB, and WR-(s). Either a S or second Edge/ILB regularly. I'm starting to a C consistently to the mix now. Depending on who is left at #19, I wouldn't mind moving back to get a another late 3rd or 4th rounder.

Ian Thomas looked promising his rookie season, too. At this point I want a FA TE. We have bigger fish to fry in the draft than taking a stab a another project TE, which isn't even a major component in this offense.

He's basically Thomas Davis, but bigger. But yeah, he's closer to Luvu than Kuechly. I would say he would be better as a OLB. It won't matter because Dallas is zeroing in on him to replace Parsons. Unless he gets injured or tests out horribly, he ain't lasting to #19. I've stopped mocking him because it's fool's gold to think we can land him at our draft slot.

Yup and it will be egg all over Tepper's face knowing a guy he kicked to the curb won a Super Bowl. Go Sam!

That's not a generality, that's this draft in particular. I would like to draft a second or third round center, I just feel this isn't the one to do it. Mayes was 5th rounder and some are acting like he's too valuable to lose. We have two 5th rounders this daft, take one there if the right guy is available. Edge, LB,S, CB, WR(S) are much bigger concerns with the talent in this draft to fill an immediate need.

You mean, no more recipes for squirrel jerky or racoon kabobs? Nooooooooooo!!! Dude has been nothing but a sideshow since he's been here. I'm cool sending him packing for the right price. Maybe he has a Ted Ginn Junior path where he clearly he's not lived up to the early hype and could figure it out later in his career. We don't have the time for that kind of patience with him.

We've got too many needs to being taking a C high anyway. A day 3 guy should suffice if we retain Corbett or bring in another mid-tier FA C.

Mayes can be replaced. He's played well, but hardy an All-Pro type. I'd rather not overpay him.

Sadiq is basically Kyle Pitts, hard no! This is coming from a guy who wants a TE badly, but he's not the guy and this ain't the year.

You can count on one hand the times we drafted a true center, not OL that's had snaps there or a G/C type. Garcia, Hangartner and Kahlil all worked out well for us, especially Ryan. I've been mocking a C to us for several years now.

We need a slot guy. I'm not giving up on Horn, but I don't want to put all our eggs in that basket hoping he's turns out to be the man.

How about XL for Ladd McConkey? What? Still too soon? Seriously, XL for 4th round pick and I'll be happy.

"the issue that I see with a lot of teams is they get a quarterback and they try and build around that quarterback. I think it should be the other way around. I think you should build a team and put your quarterback in it. " Bingo. I've been saying this for years now. I'm not saying NFL GMs are idiots, but they get stuck in an old school of thought and have a hard time thinking outside out the old paradigm. Draft the QB, no matter what! If you are at #1, I get it...you have to shoot your shot, especially if there's a legit franchise guy there. However, I keep going back to the '23 draft, we had zero business taking a QB especially at #9 and what it took to get to #1. That should have been a foundational draft to set up for a QB in the '24 draft. The roster was NOT ready yet. The Steelers are far enough back that they need to stay out of it in round one, maybe take a stab in the middle rounds for a QB and maybe strike gold. Obviously this would be a project guy year one and not starting. The QB position is the hardest for a rookie to adjust to. Why in the world would anyone think dropping said rookie into a dumpster fire is going to work out well? It's just common sense to me.

Oof, as a Pack fan, Bailey has a lot left to be desired. I'm not sure he'll ever be first round material.

For early money on a rookie deal? Yes. For a second or third contract? No.

Listed at 5'9"...you know that's a stretch. Dude is a baller though, no question. Maybe a Ricky Manning Junior type.
