I could make the same prediction, but I don't get paid for it. Must be nice to have that job

He job isn't to make predictions.

I'm glad we only have to wait a few hours until the draft starts, and then a few more hours to get to the 8th pick.

Then they trade back to the late 20s.....

I'd listen to Natalie. It's not going to be Walker. 

Who did Natalie say?

Are we the only team that press releases our first round pick every year? Am I crazy or is this a serious problem?

Exactly, we got some major LEAKS it’s kinda scary. Not a good look at all, look no further then the Bills forcing our hands last year to trade up when the entire league knew Leggette was our target.

At this point you have to assume it's by design. We've fired and hired multiple head coaches hired a new GM. What's the remaining constant? David Tepper. Also bare in mind the XL pick was tipped way before the week before the draft anyways. Bryce Young's own father was lobbying for him on twitter. This goes way beyond just not being able to keep a lid on things. This is the way our organization operates for better or worse and it's how things have been since ownership changed. Tepper might not be front and center anymore but nothing behind the scenes has changed. People might as well reconcile with that now.

Mykel but I doubt that one too. If she says Walker is a smokescreen she's probably right about that though.

This draft has so much talent on defense it would be silly to reach for a skill player at 8

all depends.   When and where you pick.   I mean there is a lot of comparable edge talent IMO that will go on for a long time in this draft.  To me, that doesn’t mean you just draft edge talent.  Who is there? What does your team look like. 

you can compete and win with good offense and bad defense in today’s NFL.  We still have to fix our offense.  It doesn’t work the other way around the same 

I don’t want a team with the 30th ranked pass attack going in saying they have their minds set on a defense heavy draft.   That’s not actually managing it the way I want me team.  Take largely BPA that makes sense…..and factoring what the overall draft offers.   I think edge at 8 is a weak option given the other edge options this draft offers elsewhere and the edge talent at 8 being not crazy different than later.

Everyone in the playoffs were in the top half of the league in scoring defense

Two OT’s may be taken in the top 8 picks.  If one of the two falls to pick 8, that could be your BPA.

It will depend on how the weigh him against their best defensive player. He would have to be rated higher on their board for them to take him instead.

A smokescreen in order to draft someone (Williams) nobody in the top 10 is going to touch. That's not really how smokescreens work.
