@OP - "The NFL Draft" forum next time?

DT - Evander Hood, Ron Brace, Terril Byrd (I watched the Cinci bowl game looking at CBs and this guy stood out, going into draft season he's rated as a 7th/undrafted, but he looks a lot better than most of the projected mid round picks I looked at. I do not like Fila Moala, overrated because of the quality of the players around him IMO.

DE - Still haven't seen anybody that jumps out at me in the 6-4+/270+ range. Assuming we can't get Orakpo. We've got pass rush specialists in Taylor and Brinkley.

CB - I like the Cincinatti twins, DeAngelo Smith and Mike Mickens (watched Mickens today at senior bowl practice and he still doesn't look 100 percent, we could get a deal with this guy, use him as a nickel at first and start him in his second year) The 3rd Cinci corner/safety Brandon Underwood looked like dogmeat as a corner at the shrine bowl. He's a pretty good FS prospect though, if he's smart enough to learn the position. He transferred from Ohio State to Cinci because of academics, had to make up 42 hous in the off season to be eligible this year.

QB - Tom Brandstater/Fresno St looked good at the shrine bowl. Brian Hoyer/Michigan St and Stephen Mcgee/Texas A&M also looked okay. Chase Daniel looked worse than any of the 3 above. Even Hunter Caldwell looked better. Brandstater has all the physical tools, needs coaching, would be good competition to Moore and McCown. Would not start his first year. I also think Sanchez is too green to start his first year, great talent, but somebody is going to ruin it by paying him too much and starting him too soon. Just like Leinert, only worse. Slightly overrated, but still the best QB in this class. I'm looking forward to seeing the other QBs this week in the senior bowl.

TE - Bear Pascoe/Fresno St. Man among boys at the shrine bowl. Having his college QB throw to him didn't hurt though. Does all the little things well, unlike our current #2.

WR - agree with Brain Hartline, very deep draft at this position. There is quality all the way through to the 7th.

OL - Herman Johnson, LSU (pipe dream). A couple of the guys on Ole Miss's line stood out during the bowl game. Peria Jerry's bigger little brother John is available next year for one. LSU and Mississipi both have huge o-linemen. Waiting on senior bowl practice for my first look at some of the better prospects here.

There are 3 young TEs on the roster, including one(Barnidge) that if they gave him a chance could be a game changer, I would be shocked to see a TE drafted.

I'm not sold on Rosario. Way too many mental mistakes for his second year. Occaisional lack off effort. A lot of people like him. I don't. I see a situation similar to Carter/Colbert/Seidman here. Teasing potential that never delivers. It was obvious as the year went on, the Rosario fell out of favor with the coaching staff, but Barnige still didn't get any playing time at TE. Hmm, wonder why? Maybe he isn't all that. I do agree that they will probably try to hang on to him too long without giving him any kind of legitimate shot.

Bear Pascoe will most likely be available in the 5th round or later. He is a complete tight end, probably a better blocker and reciever than King. Cake and eat it too situation here with low risk draft pick.

*and*

And if they do not re-sign Jeff King? Or lose him on a low tender?

With no regard to draft position, here's who I would like to see in the uniform:

QB - Mark Sanchez

DE - Everett Brown

DE - Michael Johnson

WR - Brandon Tate

WR - Hakeem Nicks

WR - Percy Harvin

CB- Alphonso Smith

We really need a good DT, but I personally dont know enough about the better prospects at that position at this point.

I would take Tate, Harvin, and Hartline. We will have quite a few picks once Peppers is traded, at least 3(hopefully 4). Could be an eventful draft. Could that 1st acquired in a Peppers trade then be spun for another 1st later in the round and a different late round pick?

      How am I all over the place?  I'm still saying that. I'm saying that Chark at his best and T-Mac right now, on the same team right now for the 2025 season, T-Mac would be ahead of him on the depth chart Week 1. Because in the same way everyone is saying, "T-Mac hasn't played a snap in the NFL yet", the very same is true to say, "nothing Chark did in his past matters moving forward" His peak was a 1,008 yard season where he was the only decent WR on a terrible team.  He didn't put up the 1k yard season because he was a great WR, it was because of how bad the rest of them on the team were. His stats aren't the same as his ability, and his ability was never all that good to begin with. Hell, most of this board agrees that T-Mac is our #1 right now, even if Thielen is Bryce's #1 option early in the saeson just because of the comfort level there, he's still just a slot safety valve and T-Mac is our #1. If you put peak Chark on the roster RIGHT NOW (even without T-Mac)... is anyone even putting him over Thielen, XL, or Coker going into this season? I'm honestly not sure many of us would consider him as such, because even at his best, he was just a JAG.  So if the same people who are okay with T-Mac being ahead of those guys right now, wouldn't put Chark above them, how can you in the same breath say Chark was better than T-Mac already is now?

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
