Moving on to the 2nd round discussion

Honestly the board fell kind of in our favor in this scenario of TMAC being the pick. Some good talent that was expected to go Round 1, fell. Have to navigate this the right way though. 

Yeah the run on OL & a QB2 going allowed for some strong defensive talent to slip.  Now, there's some QBs, RBs, TEs, & WRs that are very much in play at the top of this round. 

CLE go QB, WR, RB, TE

NE could go WR, OL, TE

HOU needs OL help badly

Titans could use protection for Ward - or WR/TE

Raiders & Bears could go OL (although they do have some D needs)

 

 

 

 

A fringe 1st on D could be there in the 40s.

I didn't, he just feels more like a 4-3 only edge. The other guys are a little more athletic.

What him play from the edge against a LT and tell me he can't play a 3-4 OLB and can't cover TE in a 4-3 or a 3-4 defense.

Staying at 57 gets us a rotational at best edge

I'm not seeing a day-one, three-down starter left on the board. We should stick with the pick, don't overhype the guys that weren't good enough to be taken in the first round, and let the depth of the draft help us out.

I saw somewhere Thibodeaux from Giants might be had for a third rounder. I can see them trading him, but a third might be less than they want. Potentially interesting option though if there is any truth to it.

EZ and Scourton both are worth moving up for

I mean, I just said that. There's a reason he didn't do any athletic testing, and even the measurements that he did were disappointing. He wins with effort and technique, and that's nice. I like him in the third, but in the second I'd prefer someone with more physical gifts. It's less risky.

The 3rd is where I had him slotted but I fear Dan will give that pick away.

Yeah…there’s a “yeah but” with all these edge guys tho. Even EZ, he’s not stout at holding the point, same with Swinson Green might be a raper, Oladejo is raw. The buckeye duo aren’t  that quick. Pick your poison. One deficiency doesn’t seem all that worse than others.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
