Every time I do the draft simulator the TE Warren is the BPA. Everyone you guys have been talking about for the past 3 months are all taken before our pick on there.

That's because there's a feeling among some folks that the Jets are smitten with him.

Jalon Walker will have his pro day April 17th I fear he's going to put on a Shemar Stewart combine type show and sky rocket up the draft boards. Raiders might take him at 6

It appears he is looking like the front runner to be 1 of the top 3 non qb players to be selected. Right now it's Carter, Hunter and Walker.

Skyrocket from 8th to 6th?

At 8 I'd take Will Johnson, Jalon Walker, Tyler Warren or maybe even Mike Green.

Or I'd trade down for more picks and take somebody like Jihaad Campbell, Malaki Starks, Nick Emmanwori, Matthew Golden, Emeka Egbuka, Jahdae Barron, James Pearce, Mykel Williams or Luther Burden

Jihaad Campbell. I think Dan Morgan would want a version of himself on the field, a center piece that can do it all, including going out on the edge and rush the passer. He'd solidify the middle for years to come. Also, according to PFF, he hit the same amount of sacks as Jalon Walker did in HALF the pass rush snaps. These kinda middle linebackers don't come around often, and with the depth of talent at the edge and dt, we can address those in the following rounds.

 

I like your thinking - I'm all for Campbell also

Oh shiite! He has the best defensive highlight reel I've seen in a while. He can rush, cover and crush the run. Love his ability to beat and avoid blocks. I may have to go watch a few Alabama games and pay attention to him. Position aside, he just might be the best defensive player in the draft! That's why Hurney was so good in the first round. He just picked the best football player - period.

      I believe in bryce...

      If you are an athlete or former athlete (myself?  Cornhole 2021-present; Disc Golf 2013-got a mega blister and had to retire; speed walking--every black Friday at Walmart 2003-2009) you know what it is to lose confidence.  Self-inflicted or not (in my view, a lot of 2023 was coaching and a lot of 2024 was confidence), he has confidence now. How fragile is it?  I think the light is on, the game slowed down, and he is ready to do his thing.  He seems to be "mobile in the pocket" instead of "running scared."   Last year, there were times when AT was out, Johnson gone, and all he really had was XL and Coker--a raw rookie with upside and an UDFA rookie.  TE was rarely a viable option. It reminded me of Benjamin and Funchess.   Moore had to step up.  This season, Bryce has weapons.  I expect XL to improve.  I expect TMac to help tremendously, and I think Coker will be solid.  Renfrow?  Horn?  bonuses.

      His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.

      Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.
