Is this a bold prediction? Having the field vs one player the odds are obviously going to be in favor of the field except for a year with a generational talent like Lawrence/Luck.

And see. . .you proved my point and didn't even realize it.  Any of the top QB's in this draft at this point can be considered average at best yet we mortgaged our future and gave up major draft capital to move to one for no one generational.  If our pick at 1 turns out to be great, we lucked into it.

Luck is always a part of it. Fitterer said you don't make that move unless you have conviction. Conviction from the previous staff meant nothing. Conviction from this staff and their combined decades of experience makes it more than just about luck. They could still miss, but the odds are better with this group than probably any group we've ever had.

Interesting the Mayer to Dallas call because that's the comp I keep coming up with for Mayer - Jason Witten. You watch those guys play and there's nothing eye popping about them. They check all the boxes physically but there's not a lot of highlight reel plays. They just block effectively, get open, and catch balls. Over and over again.

Precisely.  Definitely a Jason Witten, Todd Heap type

Otherwise at TE, I have grown to be all about Tucker Kraft.  Doesn't have the injury concerns Schoonmaker or Musgrave brings, but blocks, gets open, and is a pain in the bazooka to take down.  

My ideal path is still a trade down from 39.  Would love a draft landing:

1) Bryce Young

2-from trade) DJ Turner/Julius Brents

3-from trade) Tucker Kraft

3-2) Tyler Scott

4) Kendre Miller

5) Braeden Daniels (or) EDGE

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
