Outside round 1: Trey Smith is a name at OG we should all be familiar with in R2 or 3.  He's going higher than projected.

Overall, we could be looking at a big line boost.  Also, don't be shocked if we go RB or WR high rounds 1-3. 

Pitts is gone. 

It's the top of our board of these three: Slater, Fields, & Chase

I think not selecting Pitts would be a monumental mistake. The more I look, the more I’m convinced he’ll be incredible in our offense. He’s going to be so open in our offense. McCaffrey and he pulling down safeties so DJ Moore and Anderson can just run down the field will be unstoppable. Oh and then we’re in the end zone with Dan Arnold and Pitts. Lol to the defenses.

you could have god mode megatron and antonio gates, but it wont matter if your OL sucks.

always always build from the ground up. the lines are the foundation. you don't pass up an elite LT or DE unless you already have one on your roster. which we havent since gross.

Sewell or Slater make a ton of sense.

I still wouldn’t mind IF Sewell were gone. To try to move down a few spots and trade with NE or Denver then grab Horn.  
Horn and Bouye would be a nice change to this secondary.  (This, plus I’m convinced we’re taking a FS in the 1st 3 rd’s as well with Rhule’s pro day tour on Safeties)

1. Horn

2. LT

3. FS (UCF Kid)

Quicker and easier to build O line with vets in free agency than to rely on rookies in the draft. They’ll be more cuts after the draft, plus if you want a OT from the draft then wait until the second round, they’ll be someone decent left (leatherwood).

My take based on availability (top 2 QBs 100% gone):

A) Lance/Fields

B) Sewell

C) Slater

D) Pitts

E) Trade down

We know Lawrence and Wilson are gone.  Miami, Philly or Detroit will take the top WR.  One of the two between Fields and Lance will be 99.9% gone.  That's four selections leaving at least one of those options unless another WR is selected.  My thought is we are left with the option of Slater or a trade down.  I don't like Surtain at #8, BTW.  You only take generational corners like Revis in the top 10 and while very good, he is not that.

I agree.

Verge have your positional rankings changed in the last month?  Also was  curious as to where you ranked someone like Darrisaw if we traded down and missed on Sewell/Slater? Is there a huge drop off after the big two LT’s?

Thanks

I'm not Verge, and I'm not the only one who ranks Darrisaw above Slater. He'll be gone by 15.

      ARTICLE: Rams paid a big price in trade with Panthers to move up 13 spots for Braden Fiske

      By WarPanthers89 · Posted

      Article:  The Rams must love rookie defensive lineman Braden Fiske, because they paid the Panthers a fortune to move up in the second round and draft him. To move up from No. 52 to No. 39 and draft Fiske, the Rams gave up the 155th overall pick in this year’s draft, as well as the Rams’ second-round pick in next year’s draft. That’s a rare price to pay, for a move up of just 13 spots in the second round. In fact, according to Seth Walder of ESPN Analytics, the Rams overpaid by the most any team has overpaid to move up on Day Two of the draft in at least the last six years. Ultimately, the Rams used two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick on Fiske. That’s a lot to spend. For the Panthers, it’s a great deal that nets them a second-round pick next year in addition to Jonathon Brooks, the running back the Panthers drafted after making another trade that packaged the two picks they got from the Rams. The Panthers didn’t have a 2025 second-round pick, having shipped it to Chicago in last year’s Bryce Young trade, but now they have a second-round pick after making a good trade on Friday. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/rams-paid-a-big-price-in-trade-with-panthers-to-move-up-13-spots-for-braden-fiske

      Panthers Select Chau Smith-Wade DB - Round 5, Pick 157

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah I don’t think I’d like this guy outside, he doesn’t fit that in the NFL.  I think he needs to stick to nickel and ST to help the defense, he’d probably contribute. I think he’d be a liability outside. I like him okay though, looking forward to seeing him.  Actually that is probably how I feel about all the picks, I like them okay and am looking forward to seeing them. I feel like they were taken for a good reason; though I may not see it yet. One shouldn’t expect to go straight down the line hit every one, butI think we’ll hit on a couple of guys in this group. 4 would be great.

      Panthers Select Xavier Legette WR - Pick 32, Round 1

      By rayzor · Posted

      i know, but to a degree to can still apply, imo. yes, the guy is a unicorn. crazy circumstances and situations i think kept him away from opportunity to prove themselves for a longer period of time. and in that he and cam are similar. cam took a couple years before he was put in a situation to show what he could do given then opportunity. same wit XL. different circumstances, for sure, but really they were drafted based on one one year of production where they looked dominant. does that mean he's going to be the cam newton of WRS? probably not.  one of the arguments against cam was that he had only one year of "real" production at a high level and those arguments were furthered by the lack of people who had transitioned into a legit starter after so little starting experience.  they were/are both unicorns.
