As of now I'd agree.  IF he made it to 25 I'd trade a 3rd to Pitt to take him before the Hawks.  And this is coming from a guy who hated the idea of a RB in the 1st again.

But I don't see how he makes it to even the late teens.  And at that point we'd have to give a 2nd and I don't want that. 

Hawks aren't taking a RB in the first. Their offense was great last year with Rawls and the passing game going. If he 's there at 23 I'd bet he's still there at 30. Most certainly gone by Houston at 22, but if he lasts we wouldn't have to trade up if we wanted him (don't think we'd want him enough to trade up in the 1st round though). Maybe the Chiefs would look at him, but I kind of doubt they'd draft him with the 2 guys they had that looked good in Charles' absence and Charles is coming back.

Forte to the Jets and Lamar Miller to Houston. Do we pick Elliot up 30 if he's there?

I would think the answer to that, if G'man is serious about BPA, is Yes.  And it's definitely not a huge stretch to think Elliott could fall to #30 given recent mock drafts and those RB signings yesterday.

BUT, for now we have 2 vacancies on our Dline rotation at DT, with Edwards being released, and Kyle Love a free agent, not yet re-signed....

It will be very surprising if we don't draft a Dline guy in the 1st.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
