I think you just let that all come to you in the second.

I highly highly doubt S-N, Zay, Addison, or Johnston make it past NYG/DAL in the first.  First 4 are gone minimum in the first, especially given other team needs.  Question is do Hyatt or Downs present themselves.  I'm a big Downs fan so would be fine with him at 39.

I don't think any of those guys are worth a 3rd round pick or more to move up. I don't think there is ample reason to be impatient. We aren't in a Super Bowl window next season.

For me, it's if you think one is a franchise guy worth having another contract w/a 5th year option. If someone in your top tier becomes within a range of manageable capital in a trade, I'd take a gander. That being said, I'm more in favor of staying put or a slight trade down to the 40s.  

I think Zay & S-N are worthy.  They just seem that good.  I've been a big Addison fan since he made Pickett look good, but his year in USC was a bit underwhelming.  Less sold on Johnston.

Yeah, none of these guys hit my marks for someone that I would trade up to obtain. So, I agree that if the FO feels the way you do about it, do what needs to be done if the price is fair. 

I would just rather have more draft capital in general.

Fair.  I made a thread about potential targets at 39, and something I realized in mapping it out is we may end up favoring one of these EDGE or CBs over guys like Downs, Hyatt, & Musgrave.  

If for example BJ Ojulari, Tyrique Stevenson, Felix, or the Northwestern kid are there, I could see them above the WRs on our board.

But if that's the case, do we really sit and wait until 93?  Trade down to gain another pick in the top-100 could be a viable strategy.  Especially if we want to pick up a few receivers with starting upside like Scott, Tillman, Mingo, Reed, Wilson, or Jarrett.

I like Downs, but I don’t think I’d use the 39th pick on him. 
 

For as agile and shifty as he seems to be, he rarely eludes the first tackler and goes down pretty easy. Now getting separation in routes is a strength and I trust his hands, but I need a little more elusiveness to spend an early 2nd on a small slot receiver.

Still some time left to make FA moves too. I don't think we are that close to being a final pre-draft roster.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
