A little more complicated for me. We have the #6 pick then nothing till the 4th, so we don't have a lot of wiggle room.

In addition, I believe that we not only want but need a Left Tackle and I think we'll draft one at 6. As far as another QB, I think we'll bring Simone in to compete but I think we're rolling with Darnold this year.

The worst part about this plan would be if we played ourselves out of a top QB in the next draft. 

But also a possibility would be drafting a LT at 6 and trading everything else to jump back in.

We'll either hold on to what we've got and make two picks that will contribute, potentially start, or...

We'll trade back and forth, give up some from next year, and come away with two picks that will contribute and potentially start.

Really, that's kind of what most teams end up with, plus some special teams contributors for a year or two.

I’m going to guess they trade future picks to gain some more picks in this draft. 

I'm getting the feeling Fitterer would trade a young promising player for a couple of picks in this draft. He mentioned that as an option in the video from the conference and again in the interview on the way back. It was a strange thing to throw out there, twice.  I think he's trolling the waters first more picks already and it's not coming from next year.

We are going to trade back just a couple spots to still secure a OT and then draft a QB with the next pick 

If we were willing to give up 3 #1s for Watson then we are willing to trade back up if we like a QB.  Move down slightly grab OT.  Spend future picks to move back up for QB.  Why not?  Nothing is guaranteed next draft.  

Personally would be stoked in getting Neal\Ikey or Cross and then move up for Pickett.

    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they
