1. Browns: Myles Garret, DE, TAM

Can't imagine him not being the pick, he is the best edge prospect in a very long time, and it's a no brainer.

2. 49ers: Solomon Thomas, DE, STA

Explosive edge rusher that can play just about anywhere, amazing bend and should be an immediate 8+ sack guy.

3. Bears: Jamal Adams, S, LSU

The Luke Kuechly of the safety position, relies on intelligence and tackling ability, the definition of a blue chip prospect. 

4. Jaguars: Leonard Fournette, RB, LSU

The ultimate gunner at the RB position, no one wants to tackle him, and his speed at his size makes him a once in a decade type RB, look for him to make Jacksonville a run first offense.

5. Titans: Mike Williams, WR, CLE

A power forward playmaker, immediate number one who will help the Titans form a dominant red zone offense. 

6. Jets: Mitch Trubisky, QB, NC

There is enough tape for the Jets to hang there hat on him as the future, his ceiling is enourmous, but there is a lot of unknown there. He probably beats out McCown for the day one start.

7. Chargers: Malik Hooker, S, OHST

My favorite safety in the draft, he range is similar to that of Ed Reed, put in tape of the Ohio State corners, and this guy ends up popping out everytime, very noticeable playmaker, elite prospect.

8. Panthers: OJ Howard, TE, ALA

A rare prospect that comes in and immediately helps an offense, there is nothing he cannot do, and is a guy who can lineup at receiver if needed.

9. Bengals: Marshon Lattimore, CB, OHST

A physical corner who punishes the opposition. Very good at baiting, fills the role of a number one corner. 

10. Bills: Deshaun Watson, QB, CLE

This is a franchise quarterback with tremendous upside. He needs a year to develop, but he brings swagger, and the "it" factor so many teams look for. He is the best qb in this draft.

11. Saints: Derek Barnett, DE, TEN 
12. Browns: Jonathan Allen, DE, ALA
13. Cardinals: Gareon Conley, CB, OHST 
14. Eagles: Christian McCaffrey, RB, STA
15. Colts: Reuben Foster, ILB, ALA (Character concerns)
16. Ravens: Dalvin Cook, RB, FST 
17. Redskins: Jabrill Peppers, S, MICH
18. Titans: Taco Charlton, OLB, MICH
19. Buccaneers: Marlon Humphrey, CB, ALA 
20. Broncos: Garrett Boles, T/G, UTA
21. Lions: Haason Reddick, DE, TEMP
22. Dolphins: Zach Cunningham, LB, VAN 
23. Giants: Joe Mixon, RB, OKL
24. Raiders: Caleb Brantley, DL, FL
25. Texans: Takkarist McKinley, Edge, UCLA 
26. Seahawks: Forrest Lamp, OL, WK
27. Chiefs: Corey Davis, WR, WM
28. Cowboys: John Ross, WR, WAS 
29. Packers: Adoree Jackson, CB, USC
30. Steelers: Tim Williams, OLB, ALA 
31. Falcons: Cam Robinson, OL, ALA 
32. Saints: Kevin King, CB, WAS

In this scenario, I could see Cleveland wanting to get ahead of Buffalo for Watson, but Cincy will not deal with them(same division) and they give us early third back, we drop to 12 and still get Howard

oh please let that happen

We'd get more than just their third fro that drop, they would likely have to give us back the Andy Lee pick we owe them next season as well. But I really don't see Dave trading back unless he gets a ridiculous offer(like 12 33 and our Lee pick back).

Good as any.

Needs more QBs, mccaffrey is going in the first, don't see Joe mixon in the first even if he has first round talent.

McCaffrey went 14 to the Eagles, I don't see three qbs in the first, Mixon is an absolute question mark.

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By csx · Posted

      Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.

      Edge Rushers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
