What is your 1st round surprise this year?

IMO Rhule(Snow) would like to get an extra 2 or 3.  The only reasonable way to do that is to trade down from7.   Simmons/Tua are likely the two attractive enough players to generate that big of move.  I would expect them to only accept more than equal trade value. In the Tampa example, instead of  giving a 5th, we would also get their 5th.

Of course, this puts us on Plan B, where we forego a premium player in order to add another potential starter.  If we go down as far as Tampa, I think it’s for either Murray or Queen.

The 3 surprises I could see happening:

1. The Lions or the Giants trade down - One of these two teams is going to be very tempted to take a deal to trade down by a team hungry for one of the QBs available trying to jump in front of the Dolphins or the Chargers.

2. The Raiders trade up to draft a QB - Gruden has never watched a QB snap the ball he doesn't like until they get on his team. Of all the "surprise" teams to throw a wrench into the works on draft day, the Raiders are it.

3. No WR goes in the Top 10 - With all of the talent at WR, no team bites on any of the great WR talent available. Instead a run on QBs, OTs, and a few of the common names we've seen thrown around pushes the first WR taken just outside the Top 10.

I think a major move could be the Raiders trading up far to land Simmons.  Possibly with NYG.  DG seems infatuated with the OT prospects this year and needs to protect Jones.  12 and 19 for #4?  I think it could happen.

   I would do that in a heartbeat if I’m the Giants. At least one of those top 4 OTs should fall to twelve. Then take 19 and trade back to a comfortable spot that gets you Ruiz. Use the high 2nd on I. Wilson. Then the pick you acquired moving down to get a WR that falls in a deep class. Bookends, center and a WR. Should help the kid some.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
