Will we trade tonight?

If Jeanty is still there at #8, I think we trade with dallas picking up #44.  Dallas is desperate for a RB.  NO could trade up 1 spot to keep other teams from trading with carolina to pick Sanders.  Denver and Pitt are options but I dont think we want to trade that far down

I agree with everything but NO wants Dart.

I agree. I think they take Dart at 9. If we get a trade back offer it's because of Jeanty, Dart and I could even see an OL or DL as possibilities too. I don't think this draft will be as vanilla as people think once it get's started. People can talk about value and weak top of the class but this is the 2025 draft and it's the only one you get. Someone will take what they can because that's all you can do. Maybe that guy would be 10-15 slots lower last year but it ain't last year. I think Sanders isn't qb 2. He's pushed because of his father. He's a 2nd rnd qb at  best even in this draft. I wouldn't be surprised if he's the 3rd or even 4th qb taken.

which is why now is the time to draft him so we're set for next season when I'm sure Moten will be gone. His career doesn't have to be over it just won't be here. Sometimes drafting ahead is the best move. Is there a player you think we can draft at 8 that will start day 1? If so, who?

It’s not about starting, if we take an OT in the 1st, the only path to any playing time at all is injuries.

thats not how you should use a 1st on a team with so many holes.  If an OT falls in the 2nd it would be more acceptable, but even then we can get players there who will play for us and make an impact this season.

Well, if you look at their list of who they might select at 8 there are 8 players. Two are tackles, four are OLBs, then 1 DT, WR and S. That says to me that they think Tackle needs to be addressed. Then the question is which is easier to get in round 2, your tackle or OLB?

In round 2 they have 3 olbs and 2 ilbs listed as well.

So that's 9 lbs consider for our first 2 picks. They have their next tackle listed for the 3rd rnd and only 1
