Most mocks have us taking yet another guard as bigs seem to be in short supply…I’m starting to think we should use our pick in a trade for somebody

I'm open to trading the pick. But my guess is that we'd rather use FA or Trade to address the starting center spot anyways. 

If we keep the pick, there could be some intriguing wing options there to replace Monk in the event we don't re-sign him. Kispert is a guy I really like among others.

If we make a play for Myles Turner then the 1st round pick is definitely part of that package. With nothing to back me up, I feel like he is the most likely target followed by Allen and then Drummond. 

That would be the right move. You can still load up on center in the second and thirds because there's a ton of centers to choose from throughout the 2nd,3rd,etc in this draft. 

There is a lot of potential and depth at C in this year.

We don’t need to pay monk anything big, that’s for sure

and we always need shooters

Garza, I think, has more of that killer instinct than Kaminski. Plus Garza is already heavier than Frank. Garza is a big heavy dude 265lbs. He'd automatically push Frank around.

When I look at the center position, you've got to be a heavyweight.

Will he be there at 11?

Will WE be there at 11?! (High trade possibility) Garza is a late first rounder, probably a second round guy this year. Being that most of the top echelon will be guards and forwards this year, bigs are going be a bargain. 

Not saying it's going to be easy to get Garza or Cockburn, somebody will target both, but as of now both are project to be AFTER the first round, plus there are other bigs "rated" higher than them.

Would I take Garza at 11? Me, yeah, but I'm that guy who was telling everyone Kyle Trask was worth a second before the draft and Tampa drafted him in the second.

I'm not a Kai fan yet so if I NEED a center I'd draft a couple like when Gettleman drafted Star and KK.

Both Garza AND Cockburn were big-time scoring 5's in the Big10, Garza 6'11"265lbs, Cockburn 7' 285lbs. Me? I've locked in and I'd try like heck to get both.

They've got Kofi at 4, Garza at 8. I really think Kofi will rise. 

Is Center more of a need than BPA? If so you've got to pick the best one there at 11.

Not an impressive list unless the Europeans are good

im intrigued by sharpe…he is big and clumsy but what a talent…Roy said he could be the best rebounder he ever had (of course after playing a few years)

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
