Possible Draft Scenario Now That We’re Picking #9

[DeSim]

Here’s how I believe the draft will play out before we select if we stay at #9.

1. Jaguars - Trevor Lawrence

Consensus number 1 pick, nothing else to say here.

2. Jets - QB(Fields/Wilson) or Penei Sewell

If Jets’ new coaching staff decides to stick with Darnold, Sewell is the pick, If not...It will be either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson

3. Falcons - QB(Fields/Wilson) or Penei Sewell)

This is easy...If Jets stick with Darnold and Pick Sewell, Falcons will pick the QB they want and let him sit and learn behind Ryan for at least a year.  If Jets select QB and Sewell is available, it’ll be hard for the Falcons to pass on a franchise left tackle.

So at this point, Lawrence, Sewell and either one of Fields or Wilson are gone.

4. Dolphins - Jamar Chase or Micah Parsons

Dolphins are in position to do a lot here. This is where I believe it will get interesting, this pick could very well easily be traded for a team wanting a QB (could be the Panthers).  But for the sakes that trades are very hard to predict, sticking with the current order, they could select weapons for Tua or build up more on their defense with Micah.  

5. Bengals - Micah Parsons or Jamar Chase or Kyle Pitts

 Weapons for Burrow or build the defense, and same as the Dolphins, pick could be traded if they chose to instead want to select protection for Burrow but no other OL is worthy of a top 10 pick, and move back with a team wanting to move up for a QB

6. Eagles - Devonta Smith

 Hard to believe they’ll select a QB here, they have Hurts who looks promising and Wentz will still be with the team most likely.  They select possibly the best WR in the draft which is a position they much need

7. Lions - QB or Gregory Rousseau or Patrick Surtain

 QB here if the Lions decide to move on from Matthew Stafford.  Up to here, Trevor Lawrence and either Justin Fields or Zach Wilson are gone..so selection here is either of the two the are left or Trey Lance.  Leaving one of the top 4 left still available. Or if they stick with Stafford, they pair Trey Flowers with Rousseau or pair up Jeff Okudah with arguably the best DB in the draft.

8. Giants - Gregory Rousseau or Patrick Surtain

If the Lions don’t select QB and select either of these players, Giants go with best defensive player available.  I don’t think they will move on from Daniel Jones...you guys know how stubborn Gettleman is, unless of course he’s fired and bring someone new in to be the GM. 

...

For the Panthers concern, one QB WILL go to the Jets or Falcons, another may go to Lions, that’s 3 QBs gone including Lawrence to the Jaguars. One of the top 4 (Most likely Trey Lance) still has a high chance of still being available for the Panthers at #9. And if there’s concern on missing out on all top 4, a trade up with Dolphins or Bengals should be considered.

Bengals will trade out or take a tackle.

Surtain probably. I guess. Probably locked into 6-10 or 7-9 with him too.

[CMAC22]

With the 9th pick depending on the draft board OT Alex Leatherwood from Alabama TE Kyle Pitts Florida! Or this could be the year we could trade back and acquire more picks and draft capital and assets and take QB Kyle Trask

[Untouchable]

Darrisaw, Surtain, Lance all looking like options at 9.

The Falcons getting Penei Sewell...

The Falcons getting Penei Sewell... 

Mind boggling.
