Any idea/guess as to how our board looks. I’ve heard Pitts is at the top?

I have heard the same. Beyond that I don't really know.

I wouldn't rule out Jaylen Waddle either.

Our OL is still garbage. Thats the mind blowing aspect of this. We watched Cam go from an incredible talent to a nonfunctional QB due to garbage OL. I dont want a QB, WR, TE,CB, etc until we spend our first few picks on OL. Rhule is not an idiot and was an NFL OL coach. He sees this dumpster fire and as much as folks here want shiny things, I want in your face road grading animals that open holes and run the Chase Youngs of the world into Winston-Salem. Dont be stupid.

The depth at OT this year is bonkers. I would prefer OT at 8 myself, but the reasoning behind drafting a weapon or QB at 8 would be that.

I agree, but maybe the think the drop off from Slater (Sewell probably won’t be there at 8...) and the round 2 LTs isn’t as big as from Chase/Waddle/Smith and the next tier of WRs. Not saying it’s right, but that could be a thought process...

Updated info on Fields' second pro day tomorrow...

Previously only two teams, the 49ers and the Patriots, were confirmed to be attending. There's now word that a third team will be joining them.

The Falcons.

Will we be able to get another pick for Teddy or we will ultimately have to cut him? An extra fourth or fifth this year could be nice in an excellent Oline draft.

I think we will trade him.

KYLE PITTSTE, COLLEGE PLAYER

The Miami Herald reports "many around the league anticipate" the Falcons taking Florida TE Kyle Pitts at No. 4 overall.

Quote

After quarterbacks go in the top three picks, the draft will begin in earnest when the Falcons go on the clock at No. 4.

Should Atlanta take Pitts, as many around the league anticipate, and Cincinnati take Chase at No. 5, it’s not hard to envision the Dolphins getting some sweet offers to move out of the sixth spot. The Broncos (who pick ninth) need a quarterback. Perhaps they would be willing to part with a second-rounder to move up three spots to get one.

Their offense would be insane.

Frankly I think Pitts would be the right pick for them. Matt Ryan is still a solid QB and only 35 keep building your offense

Pretty sure the Panthers like Slater better anyway

They were a borderline playoff team last year.  Every beak went against them.   They would have 4/5 crazy good offensive weapons.
