Or you could move back and take Jenkins---I am high on him, not drugs though. Just say no.

Why they signed Cam. But they are not putting the entire season on his shoulders. Lance can develop and could run most of the offense designed for Cam. Nobody is suggesting that Lance start day 1, but Week 6 or 7? Maybe.

It makes no sense to do what they did in free agency and walk into the season with only a ? at QB. They are all in, and think they can contend again with a QB. I am nearly certain that you are right--anywhere from Atlanta-Detroit

If you think about it, securing Darnold was a brilliant move because it cost nothing compared to what being in a situation where we HAD to move up would have cost. We know Darnold will be better--better coaches, better weapons x 10, better OL (in theory). Better defense. So we get a better QB than he was in NY, pretty much guaranteed, a kid who flashes big time arm talent but has some lower body mechanical issues, and we get a 24 year old player. I am not sure we need to bring in a first rounder right now.

Kraft would show up at the draft in nothing but a towel AND all his draft picks and some lotion.

Sshh. On April 28, I am going to Redit and tell everyone that he was once a woman then had surgery to come back for the prom because he already had a date and purchased a dress then started to have another surgery to revert back but forgot what gender he is so he is conflicted.

Yes--2-4 are elite.

Interesting--was waiting to see one that did not reach the top--in my book, there are 4qbs and 3 elite-generational talents---but my emotions put an eighth one in there.

Very underrated then and now. He was better at LG, but you could play him anywhere. Slater reminds me of Wharton to some degree. I am not comparing their talent levels, but their style and versatility...

So were we.

Good point. You don't see that stuff on these tapes. But his technique is solid and that tends to reduce penalties--unless he loses it between his ears.

exactly---draft some bookends. I would not mind trading up to get him at the end of the first round....You know he would be an upgrade to moton and you would get him on a five-year deal---saving you about $20m per year on average over the next 4 years--I think we can trade Moton too, and prolly get a high pick for him in 2022. Slater and Jenkins? Shhhoooooooot yeah.

Some folks are going to be sick in about 2-3 years when these guys they over-analyzed are lighting it up. And others will be trading their picks for a sixth this year and a second and fourth next year.

Nice way of looking at it.

All in on Tackle. Watch the Tevan Jenkins video in the draft thread. I wish he were a LT, and wonder if he will be tried there. Arms shorter than 33"

thanks. Watching it now. We know we are going to get a good player. I was not happy when we drafted Kuechly or CMC. I hated the Beason pick. I was not a Cam supporter for the same reasons they are questioning Fields. So I am going to keep my ego in check because, "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with." I just made that up.

Nice. Did he give the driver a contract?

I know---If Mac Jones goes at three--and I would not be surprised to see the Bungles take Chase--Atlanta will probably trade back--but some team always shocks everyone with some crazy pick--I see Surtain, Darrisaw, or Parsons possibly rocking the boat--who knows? Miami? Detroit? They are wild cards.

You have faith in Fields, and I see why---I can't get past the Ohio St curse that goes back to Art Schichter or whatever his name was. He is definitely a stud.

Is Jones a lock? I hope so. I am seeing Fields mocked to SF a lot. And this is a big board, so including all players is interesting. For example, if you rate Sewell ahead of Jones and Wilson, it gives more perspective than if you automatically put 3 QBs at 1, 2, 3. I do not have Jones or Lance in my top 8, for example.

Yes, I agree. I suppose the context here is they want a game changer--a threat--a super talent--and not just a player to develop who could step into a key role. And I am in the OT camp as well. I think there are 4 good ones, but 1 is a RT who could possible play LT--Tevin Jenkins OKSt.

And a beast. Can he play LT?

So it is time to nail down your thoughts. If you would not draft a player in the top 8, do not include him--not player rankings--it is your shopping list. At the end, include a number where you think the talent level significantly drops. That should be your trade back limit. If you want to add players up to that number, go for it. I will start: 1. QB Lawrence (if he falls to 8, he is a panther. I stake my rep on it) 2. LT Sewell (maybe Slater is a better fit, but dang...) 3. QB Wilson (I think he is going to be good) 4. TE Pitts (more than a TE should be allowed to be) 5. QB Fields (You really can't leave him there, but you might trade back and use him as bait) 6. LT/G Slater (Spidey Senses tingling that this might be the pick) 7. WR Chase (Really good at getting open, catching the ball, and taking it to the house) 8. WR Waddle (he is that good, folks. Did not watch tape until Verge said he is on the list--I could handle it. Spidey senses tingling--I have 2 spiders) ---- I see the talent drop off around 8. I am not sure I would trade back, unless I was assured to get one of these players. I might take some future picks and a first rounder to move back, but not sure that I would.

Great point. You know, this thread "Meanwhile, in Washington" should probably be pinned and kept year round.

In high school, I was the long snapper and punter. I was fast back then. Seriously, I was the emergency long snapper and emergency punter. Coach used to tell me, you better hope they both don't get hurt. Har Har I never want RB on day 1 or 2. I hope we stop doing that.
