1. Cincinnati - Bowers DE Cincinnati ranked near the bottom of the league in sacks and had to get in front of Denver to pick up the sack artist they desired.

2. Denver - Fairley DT Fox moves to plan B which is not far from Plan A and still a need when moving back to the 4-3

3. Buffalo - Newton QB Fitzgerald will hold down the position till about week 6 when Buffalo finds themselves already on the outside of the playoffs

4. Carolina - Green WR Best player in the draft and heir apparent to the declining Smith. Carolina also picks up Cincinnati's 2nd rounder this year and 2nd rounder next year.

Panthers

2nd - Liuget - DT - Illinois

3rd - Burton - CB - Utah

3rd - Powe - DT - Ole Miss

Really doubt anyone gives up two 2nd rounders to move up four spots to take Bowers. Maybe if they fall in love with a quarterback AND think there's a good shot he'll be taken ahead of them, but for a DE? Possible but highly unlikely. Even if he is their top guy they'd most likely sit tight and hope he falls to them and just go with their #2 option if he doesn't.

As for Liuget and Powe, neither of them have impressed me all that much from the tape I've watched.

after watching this video of Liuget, if he puts on about 15 lbs, he could be a dominant NT in the 3-4. he stuffs running lanes like crazy

Considering some have Bowers and Quinn rated similarly and that Cinci can get one or the other at the 4 spot. Doubt it happens. Also don't see Carolina taking a WR even if they trade Smitty away for a 4th or 5th rounder. (it's all they are going to get, sorry guys.)

Also most scouts have Fairley rated #2 among Dt's now, so I don't they he goes top 5 now...

Highly possible though on draft order though and I'd deffinitely take the trade if they offered it.

Usually in trades I've seen the future pick is usually valued as the current middle pick in one round lower. Or half the value of the middle pick in the same round sam.

So the 2nd rounder next year would be like the 17th pick in the 3rd this year. Or half the value of a 17th next year.

But yeah I agree that would be too much. A 4th would be more like it.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
