Trade up for a Safety in round 2?

While that’s tempting, I think Reid, Harrison, or Bates will fall. I want to leave tonight with  a safety, a CB, and maybe a OL stud. 

I think that would be a solid first two days. 

 

Still very worried about what happens if Olsen gets hurt though. Panthers don't have another NFL caliber TE on the roster.

I think carolina trades up but doesnt have to trade up as far as they think.  I think they sit and watch until 1 or 2 of their targets come off the board, then they make a move.

Yeah, I can't see a 15 place jump, too expensive. Thinking 5 spots. A trade twinkie to satisfy Hurney's craving.

What I want tonight is some combo of Jackson, Oliver and Reid.  If we get one of those corners and Reid, I will immediately declare this the best ever draft we've had picks 1-3.

I'm a bit worried all 3 of those guys will be gone in the first 10 picks though.

I would be really pleased trading up for a starting safety. This is the range where we might expect Harrison and Reid to represent good value much better than the mid-twenties.

 However if we could somehow get Josh Jackson I would be ecstatic. This is a guy who was top 15 pre-mock. Unlikely but I dare to dream.

If I’m Hurney I’m keeping the picks I have and taking Bates, Reid, Hernandez if he makes it. I’m then contacting the Ravens to see if they’d take a late round pick for Maxx Williams. Not sure what has happened to that guy but he was every bit the TE talk of the draft that Hayden Hurst was and they just took Hurst in rd 1 signaling Williams may be done in BALT.

    • Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.  
    • height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.   
    • People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
