IMO if Neal, Ekwonu, Cross, Hutchinson, or Thibodeaux are there at 6 you take them and never look back (in this order).  But that is what I think we SHOULD do....

I am afraid they are overvaluing QB's and will take Pickett or Willis at 6....but I don't think we should.  If the 5 above are gone we SHOULD trade back and grab at least a 2nd round pick since OL is fairly deep this year and taking a QB at 6 is too high for this class given next year's current view

IMO it will depend on how the draft unfolds in the first 5 picks.   Every year there is a surprise pick that no one expected. 

I think if we trade back that our GM believe that one of these talents are going to drop down to the pick that we are trading for.  I don't believe it will be lower that 15.  

The biggest thing is we might not get the super stud everyone wants but we pick up a pick or two later and actually grab 2 or 3 really good players.

It's a gamble but if we plan on building through the draft we need more picks.

As far as this forum is concerned.  Either way 1/2 of it is going to be pissed.  Those that think we should trade down and get more picks will be angry we didn't a Stud LT and those that want to stick at 8 will be pissed because we only got one decent player in the draft.

Double edged sword

I really think if a top offensive tackle is there, they take him. Otherwise, it is a trade back.

Yeah I think it’s Ekwonu, Neal or trade back. Either way you should solve the left side of the line for the next 7-8 years.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
