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.

    • 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).
