here’s a very real chance first four picks are defense. And Neal is probably some teams third OT on the draft board. Apparently one team has Cross ranked as the best player in the entire draft. So even then Neal being the third OL off the board isn’t an impossible outcome either.

Jeez, I hope if any of these 3 tackles are around when we pick, I hope we don't try to get all cutesy. Pick the frikkin LT and suck it up this draft! We may have a couple of not great options for QB, but at least they'll have a solid line in front of them.

I agree mostly. I definitely want a T at 6 if Ike or Neal are available. Things get messy if neither are. Assuming they are I'd like to see someone brought in to compete with same (someone cheap). I would not trade for Jimmy or Baker unless they are put in a "clearance bin." If we could get Minshew cheap I'd go that route, or maybe if we are lucky we can get a developmental QB with our 4th round pick. I'm not against brining in a low rent FA. either...just somebody to push Darnold (Walker doesn't seem to be that guy).

I like Minshew better than Baker, Garoppolo, or Darnold. Mainly because we likely get him cheap, and he doesn't have the ego of the other 3. I ASSUME that he knows he's destined to be a career back up, albeit a good career backup.

I mean Baker is going to be cheap, heck maybe cheaper then Minshee after all is said is done.

Jesus, if true, this trainwreck just won't slow down.

I had to assume that Tepper had stripped him of personnel by this point.

I see Ekwonu or Neal falling to us. Leaning Icky. 

Stingley and Sauce are buzzing too much, Aiden and Walker are top-5 locks.  DET, HOU and NYJ need defense and in a hurry.  It's really up to JAX and NYG.  I just don't see Neal or Icky at #1, so actually it's possible we're the first team to select an OL. 

My current top-6 guess:

1. JAX-Aiden

2. DET-Walker

3. HOU-Stingley

4. NYJ-JJ II

5. NYG-Neal (Plug and play RT w/Thomas at LT)

we get Ekwonu

Then the real fun is the anticipation of us doing something with the little capital we have.  Hoping we don't go crazy and mortgage more future picks for someone that a new regime won't be asking for.  Oh man if Goodell goes up and says we've trade into the first, this board would go bonkers.

BUUUT another kicker is that I could see someone trading up for Sauce.  Seattle, Baltimore, teams really like him.  So in that case, IF both OTs are magically there, do we trade down with let's say SEA (get 41 and 9) at the hopes one is still there or maybe Cross?

SEA gets Sauce at 6, we get an OT at 9, and gain 41.  Then it's up to ATL and NYG on the OL front.  

If we have him graded as a top flight OT, especially that can play on the left, don't overthink it, pull the lever, and wrap up that position for 10 years barring injury.

We need to quit messing around with a position that is so incredibly valuable.

Man... if you have to FORCE someone to listen... yikes.

If the final say is his, then it really doesn't matter. If he doesn't want to listen then he won't

100% agree.  Fun to ponder the possibilities, but if Ekwonu is there just take him and accept our fate at QB.

What a lack of vision we are experiencing.  We drafted a CB last year.  A CB....

      Gotta wonder if Smitty's brain has turned to mush with how hard he played in the NFL

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
