As of today, who would you draft at number 8?

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.

    • If he really wants to be here, that can happen.  It's totally up to him.  Yes, he'll have to take a hometown discount to do it.  He'll have to show that the last two seasons were outliers and he hasn't become an injury risk. It will come down to money and how much of it he wants.  If he wants to be paid at the upper end of the scale, it won't and can't happen here.  When healthy, he deserves that kind of pay and if he wants it someone else will pay it. It can totally happen.  And it's totally in his court.  
    • He was on the "sideline" during OTA or mini camp, Im sure there was some Twitter/X post but news just moves so fast now.  He's not getting the press as TMac or even Horn, but he is making plays. That's the other deal, Im a big fan of his!  Just in order to get great value you need to give value in return. I said he would have been a 3rd rounder in 2025 draft, he just had bad luck with injuries hurting his stock and coming out in a deep WR class.  
    • I've always said that PFF is a tool. If you don't know how to use it, or don't want to know how to use it, then it's useless. But some people actually do know how to use it---which is why it still exists and is used by all 32 NFL teams---and part of this is putting it all within context----seeing the bigger picture. If you don't understand that not all players, develop at the same rate, have different levels of talent, have injuries that affect their play, and face different circumstances in regards to the opposition and coaching, for example, then I don't know what to tell you. Coaches set expectations based upon a variety of things, not only last year's stat sheet, which may have been brought about by dynamics that you, as a fan, may or may not understand. And even if you have some understanding of them, as a fan, you still will never have the clarity that they do---the concerns or the context that they do. As a fan, you should even be putting your lack of understanding their context, into context (and stop trying to act like you know something to be true based upon a bad season at the end of the day).
