You realize it's only the 1st round tonight, right? You want to draft a "future backup" in the 1st?

I don't think we draft an OT tonight but I honestly expect one tomorrow. There's just way too much smoke around OT being way more of a need than we think

Graham would be awesome I just don't think he's there.

And it's been this way for awhile. The Texans had dominant defenses in Watt's prime yet never made any noise because their offense was trash.

This is basically Joe admitting he has absolutely no clue and just wants to get as much mud slung at that wall hoping something sticks.

Having nothing else at safety is the concern. We paid big money to a run support safety. But we have nothing else at safety. Don't be surprised if he ends up playing primarily as a deep safety like Chinn did simply because we have nothing else.

I wouldn't hate T-Mac. I'm not sure he's worth a top 10 pick but I see him as a Tee Higgins type in the NFL.

Wharton and Moehrig both have huge bust factors as free agents IMO.

Welp, it's official. I'm fuging old. I have no idea who most of those people are. Rod Wave? Rich Homie Quan? Gunna? Lil Baby? QT7 Quanny? Literally never heard of these people.

Can anyone show me this guy actually beating a block? Everything I can find is just him running past or through a blocker overwhelming him with sheer physical talent. I haven't seen anything where he uses any technique. Even then, half of his "highlights" are him having a clear path to the ball but yet basically just running seemingly blind in the general direction and not even coming close to making the play. I just don't see a football player. I see a world class athlete who just happens to be running around in a football field.

Hell, knowing us we already have a shitty deal agreed to with someone as long as their guy is still on the board. Now we're just greasing the skids ahead of the blowback they know will come. That would be par for the course for Tepper's Panthers.

For the record, I don't think either work out long term as starters. But I think Dart has the considerably higher ceiling. I just don't see anything about Sanders' playing style that is going to work in the NFL with his physical tools.

When I watch Sanders play I just don't see it. Not as an NFL prospect. He just looks like the typical "good college player that doesn't translate" to me. I don't see any physical trait that's above NFL average without the mental acuity that Bryce showed against far better competition. I think he was largely carried by Travis Hunter.

A lot of the speculation about our potential trade down opportunities has swirled around Sanders and Jeanty but could it actually be Jaxson Dart that gives us that opportunity? https://x.com/NFLonCBS/status/1915404791410249807?t=Vwm1R_wJLQ7QtZ6HYKBD0w&s=19

True but the narratives this year set the table perfectly for the smart teams to fleece the dummies.

I don't even mind taking an offer that's somewhat less than traditional value I just don't want us to get absolutely fleeced and take a trade offer that would more closely align with the value of a pick on the mid to late teens. If that's the best offer on the table, trust your scouting and take the BPA on your board. Coming across as desperate to move down kinda feels to me like we're a little shook by our recent drafting struggles and we aren't trusting ourselves to pick the right guy. Which is understandable but damn, if that's the case we're already cooked.

I'm fine with putting a for sale sign on the pick and making it known that we're fully willing to entertain offers. I just don't want us to operate like we're on the verge of being foreclosed on. We don't need to panic sell if the price isn't right.

I think it would probably be more like #12 and their 3rd for #8 and I would still be intrigued by that. My concern is more a long the lines of moving down to like #20 for just an extra (later) 3rd. Fug that. You gotta get more value out of #8 overall than that.

I was intrigued by Richardson pre-draft but good lord after he asked to come out of the game because he was "tired"... oh hell no. We're done.

I've been saying for awhile now that if there's a massive curveball coming tonight it's us drafting an OT.

I really hope we've done our homework on him and didn't just recently start really warming up to him based on film and we haven't put in the work on the off field stuff. When guys with legit 1st round talent start getting straight up removed from draft boards that's as massive as red flags get. Professional sports teams are willing to look past a LOT of BS if you have the talent.

And just to clarify if others aren't up to speed, you don't mean the typical injury concerns. You mean out of prison. LOL

I very seriously doubt you're going to get a team to give up all their picks in the first two days of the draft. The math might work out on the chart but nobody wants to put all their eggs in one basket that hard.

Honestly, probably so. I could see Walker being the prospect with the most support but far from the consensus.
