Dude, this class is so loaded at DE and EDGE it would be CRIMINAL to not trade down provided one of the big boys doesn't drop.

I want three picks in the top 60. Period.

And ideally I'd come away with two edge rushers and a DT with those picks. This draft class is built for it IMO and we desperately need to rebuild our defensive front. We pretty much have Derrick Brown and a bunch of backups.

I am not even hyper focused on the positions necessarily(DE/Edge seems like a must given depth) but get three fuging absolute day one competitive players for a starting role. This seems like the draft like this should be a thing.

Hell, we have some position groups where being a "starter" doesn't necessarily mean much. You can be a fringe level NFL roster talent and still be a starter.

Yeah, that is the fear part.

He's got some really bad habits that have been positively re-enforced by the fact that its college ball.  Many times these desperation plays will work out for him, or not result in a turnover.  But that type of stuff in the NFL is suicide.  We've all seen it.  And habits are hard to break.

Ward is similar to Caleb Williams IMO. The talent is obvious but so are the concerns with his game, notably holding the ball forever and willingness to take risks. I like Ward more just because he doesn't come across as a total diva.

Caleb is a good comp, honestly. Ward is a lower level passer, IMO.

      Joe Person mock draft. Mar 5.

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I love this draft because they picked the right OL.  It is possible that we have 2 rookies starting on the OL.  I would take Utah's Lomu as well, but for those who think you find the OL in free agency and not the draft, here is all I have to say:  We cannot give $110m to the 5 starting OL.  We need an infusion of youth on the OL as well.  If Ickey returns and can play, I imagine that he takes over for Hunt at RG--in 2027 or so.  Currently, our 2 guards and right tackle make up over 20% of the total cap.  We have to add 2 starters, but if Cade Mays was too pricey at around (anticipated) $8m, then we plan to draft a C, it seems. I think we draft an OT and C now because we will need a G or 2 and a RT soon.  While they were good in 2026, they were not elite.  For that kind of $$, we need elite.  Is starting a rookie LT and C ideal?  Nope.  But if we can get better than Nijman and Mays, we should be OK. I think we will pick up an ILB in free agency and add an ILB.  Who we draft (Mike or Will) will depend on who we sign.  Rodriguez is a favorite of mine, but if Golday is there, Morgan is going to take him.  Morgan will love him. I do not think we need to overpopulate the edge position right now because we have 1 edge returning from injury (Jones II), one rookie from last year ready to step up and could be really good (Scourton), and another who could be ready to step into the situational pass rusher role (Princely).  2 hold the edge very well and if we had a situational pass rusher to join Princely, we could be much better. I think rookies at Edge tend to jump considerably from their rookie seasons to years 2 and 3.  (Charles Johnson, Mike Rucker, and Greg Hardy were that way-and all became very good in time. Safety seems omitted, but we shall see.  That could be another free agent acquisition.

      Id like Evans from Duke in the draft as a shooter for the second unit. And probably a more athletic big to replace all, he's good but doesn't really fit the style. White, Evans, green, Williams and center tbd is a pretty good second unit
