I am an Ole Miss fan so i was surprised by the character red flag issues. I posted those on our college board and other fans don't remember them either. In reality, Kiffin was noncommittal on answers as to why Nolan did not return to games. That could be for injury, strategy, time off or all three. The notion he went to five schools is ridiculous when he only went to two colleges (A&M and Ole Miss) and I don't blame him for leaving A&M. I remember him playing hard and being a good teammate. If Kiffin and the DC can give us assurances, this would be a great pick but probably later than 8 given the recent b.s. rumors and projections.

I would be fine with Jalon Walker at 8 in that scenario but would hope we get some good offers to trade back for teams wanting Sanders, Tet, or Warren.

I like him, but he is small for the position, played in a conference with weaker competition, and he is currently at 32 on the consensus big board. This draft is full of edge rushers so i hope we don't reach for one at 8. He would be in the trade back and take an edge conversation though.

What? Who are the top two rb's then? Jeanty will get picked by the Raiders. Pete likes to run the ball.

They should not. This rebuild will require another round of free agency and a good draft in '26. Not sure why anyone would think we are on the verge of mediocrity.

Interesting players that could be available for our second at 57: Landon Jackson Edge 46, Darius Alexander 47 DT Toledo, Nick Scourton 49 Edge, Azareye'h Thomas 50 CB. Add one of those players to Mason Graham or Jalon Walker and we are off to a good start for the D. Next up would be wr.

Agree which is why our pick at 57 and giving the Bears our 39 hurts so much.

Yeah, Steelers don't have a second round pick so no. The first half of the second round is going to be full of potential starters. I hate we don't pick again until 57.

Every team has different evaluations and needs. I think Sanders falling is a real possibility and the two OT's, TE, and top WR and RB might actually be at 8 too. It is no guarantee though and a plan needs to be in place in case we don't get any offer to trade back.

Everyone keeps adding fuel to the fire that is simply not there. Anonymous allegation in h.s. not even questioned, which means the accuser did not go to the police. Anonymous allegation in college not even questioned, which means the accuser did not go to the police. In the current age of Title IX, allegations brought to the attention of the school/police would have been investigated. These were not. Prison? Really, when Deshawn Watson is still the qb for the Browns?

I said before that our strategy should be 1. Mason Graham...if gone...2. trade back....if no good offer....3. Jalon Walker. Since your scenario removed 1 and 2, i would draft Walker. My biggest fear is not his tweener status or size but rather the ability of a good creative DC to get the most out of him.

The Panthers have yet to reach the postseason under Tepper, the 67-year-old founder of Appaloosa Management, who bought the franchise for $2.275 billion in 2018. It’s not just fans complaining about his ownership, either: In the NFL Players Association’s most recent survey of its members, Tepper received a D-, the second-worst grade among the league’s 32 owners. Forbes. LOL.

i'm set on my draft strategy: 1. Mason Graham; if no Mason Graham...2. Trade down; if no good offer to trade down...3. Jalon Walker. The only trade down scenarios i see would be Sanders dropping or someone really wanting one of the OT's. No one is going to give us a quality trade for the TE, WR, or Edge.

Stanford has a losing NIL strategy. Reich and Luck will be looking for new jobs soon.

LOL, so true.

This but a more even trade down would be nice. The difference between 8 and 18 is not that great when you have the amount of needs we have.

I'm so disappointed Ole Miss did not make the playoff. Princely, Jared Ivey, Walter Nolan, Chris Paul, Trey Amos, JJ Pegues, Tre Harris, and Jaxson Dart. Ratings

But they run him in the wild cat!!!!!! Seriously, you hope he becomes TJ Hockenson, which is perfectly fine, but not at 8 for a team that doesn't stress the TE position.

He would be too expensive and we are still recovering from giving up draft capital. Our options at 8 should be: 1. Mason Graham; 2. no Mason Graham, trade back; 3. No good trade back deal, take Walker who can rush and play lb. One of those three options will be available.

I think you can leave out special teams based on limited playing time. BPA for a position of need is simply not BPA; it is drafting for need. The two most likely available players at 8 who are at the top of their position are Jeanty and the LSU tackle.

...it is not BPA.

That is most likely going to be Ashton Jeanty.

Source? I've only seen the high school and UVA stories where he was never even questioned by authorities or even UVA coaching staff.
