Roaring Riot Field. Sorry folks, Membership just went up a bit.

If Robinson can be a duplicate of Pitre....lookout NFC. I'll take Pitre's production anyday back there along with Bell. The architecture of this defense is so different than what I'm used to seeing us draft. It goes beyond just finding fits for a 34 base. The types of players, style, build, etc. is intriguing to me.

This guy has me pumped. Love the connection to Jaycee and the chip he's coming into the league with. It's a healthy chip and I think he's going to compete. 2023 Fifth Round Robinson DB > 2020 Fifth Round Robinson DB

Long-term replacement for Woods who's a UFA in '25 and can also contribute at NB. Not on my radar, but will trust the coaching staff here. Looks the part of a balanced NFL DB.

Kuntz is a Reich-type of TE. Has a Jelani Woods-esque vibe to him. Would also welcome Trice or Smith too.

Got ya covered this round.....

I've watched teams like the Pats, Seahawks and Steelers take guys earlier than predicted for years. Questioned on draft day, but pan out once they get under the tutalage of a talented coaching staff. We've been denied this for years....it's a new era. I'll trust Evero and Capers here finding a compliment to Burns.

Agreed....Smith is a great option too. Good call.

Hoping one of Rush, Tice or Kuntz is there at 145. Pumped about the Zavala selection.

Love it! Not as sexy as some would want, but outstanding pick. Played beside Ickey at State and will allow BC to slide to swing tackle/guard.

Wow...so many armchair scouts that watch a few YT vids and play around on their Playskool First Draft Simulator and have more insight than paid scouts/coaches. We needed an EDGE and people were begging for one at 39, so we get one at 80. This dude is a physical specimen and is a great compliment to Burns. Yes, he's 25 and doesn't have mind blowing stats, but can we at least trust the selection of this insanely well put together coaching staff that everyone was soooo enamored with. Maybe they know what they're doing? This isn't Madden.

Porter, Jr. Mayer Avila Torrence White Ojulari In R2, we pick 8th as of now. I'm guessing both Hooker and Levis goes early tonight, so this is my short list of six players I hope are in Process Blue by the end of tonight. There's also guys like Brents, Musgrave, Washington, Mingo, Hyatt and Downs still there for the taking too. I hope Trader Fitts has his phone charged up.

I'd say NFLN, but I'm watching on the Apple TV app and these same 5 or so commercials might get old real quick. ABC would be option numero dos.

Whew.....McDonald/Burns would be nassssty under Evero.

I wouldn't mind seeing Shenault back there. Dude is thick and think of that Corderelle type on short yardage goalline situations would be great. I also like Roschon, Bigsby and Ibrahim for that physical runner and should all be available on day 3.

Would love Roschon if he makes it to the 4th. Excellent complimentary back to Miles for the first year or two and could be a lowkey get that eventually becomes a 3-down back.

I don't want to read too much into how/when they scheduled the Big 4 QBs coming in, but I can't get over how odd it is. Makes you wonder if BY is 1 and AR is 2, with Stroud/Levis behind them. Not only were both scheduled on the same day...something we haven't done, but also on a day that a presser was schedueld to discuss the draft. Maybe if they were in during the AM and the press conference was like 4pm, maybe it would make more sense.

Yup....that's why I put that very fact in my statement.

Interesting. I was thinking maybe Houston kicks the tires too. Take BPA defensive player du jour at 2, add another weapon at 12 and reunite Lance with a familiar face at OC.

I heard Archie Manning say that BY reminded him of Fran Tarkenton. I truthfully don't know much about Tarkenton except he was a HOFer and went to three SBs. A much...much different time, but he was 6'0" 190 and had a similar escapability and ability to find passing windows off-platform. More of a scrambler and runner than Young, but I'm assuming Manning knew Tarkenton's IQ and field-general type of play.

From the GM last month: “We didn’t want to have that big gap in there,” Fitterer told The Athletic last week at the NFL owners’ meetings in Phoenix. “We thought the sweet spot in this class is somewhere between 20 and 45, just really good value in there. At 61, that’s a heck of a fall, and you’re gonna watch a lot of good players (go off the board).” I'll go with the GM after watching him keep the pick out of the blockbuster trade to #1 overall over Klein and others speculating. I think RR does a ton of great work and Josh does have an ear to the ground within the org, but as most are doing this time of year, pure speculation. We should get a franchise EDGE or CB there...maybe guard or tight end too.

Exactly! Albright is wrong as much as he's right, and lately, he's been off more. Though he has sources, I put him well below the Schefty's, Jeremiah's and Mort's.

There's still some good band-aid fixes for a year like Floyd, Ngakoue, and Ingram. If there's an OLB that fits the BPA slot at 39, I think we take him....but I don't see a reach when there's two guys there with familiarity with Reich and Evero. Rome wasn't built in a day.

It might not be on the table, but it would be poor business to not start at that point if you're Carolina. Unless we add some draft capital going back to HOU, we're not getting 12, but put that on the Texans to shoot down. This is why we moved to 1 - to be in control of the draft. Houston balked at CHI to move up one spot and they have to be kicking themselves currently. You can't get what you don't ask for.....even if you know 33 or the '24 FRP is what you end up with.
