Is Rome Odunze Falling?

They go through weird phases like that. You'll see guys like Brock Bowers going in the top 3 one moment And then you've got him available at 33 the next time and then he's back in top 5.

I try not to take it as exact players when I mock, even though there's guys I prefer over others. I think it's more about positions that would be available at that moment.

But the draft itself in reality is really wonky because there's guys that you and everyone are sure are going to go early who inexplicably fall and then there's others that go much earlier than all the experts go.

You never know what really any team has in mind when they go into the draft and you can't predict what they will do when their board changes.

Maybe teams see a player fall that they were sure would have gone earlier all of a sudden fall a bit below where you thought they would go and then think maybe other teams passing them by know something you don't so you pass them as well. So many reasons for players falling where you think they shouldn't.

We think we know where players should go, but we don't know how individual teams actually perceive players that we mock to them.

So basically, as crazy as it is to see Rome there, it's good to see stuff like that happen because it prepares you for the actual craziness of draft day.

No one is falling right now, nor rising.  Thats all sports media.  Team boards have been set for a while now but youre going to hear all kinds of changes reported because thats what sports media has to do.   Odunze is clearly locked in at wr #3 at worst.  Nabers is the one the media is actually trying to push down right now "leaking" a lot of stuff about teams having character concerns.

Yeah that's the weird thing to me. What can these guys possibly do to raise or lower their "stock"?

It's all completely speculative in behalf of the draftniks who all feed off each other's takes.

      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.
