No LBs.

I can see WR Cooper here, and Concepcion (nearly 10% drop rate) bothers me...and it is interesting that they brought it Bisontis--maybe to see him snap? ... Looks like they want an emergency QB from the UDFA pile....One might project S as a day 2 pick, based on this.

Concepcion is a local visit, so he doesn't count towards the 30-visit limit. Not quite "free," but it does mean that we can take the visit with a grain of salt.

Early money favors offense. I'll take Max in the 1st for 100. Subject to change as the list grows.

Guess who is NFL.com's comp for Max Iheanachor? Taylor Moton.

Part of me does wonder if Moton might retire before the season. Kaleb McGary just retired yesterday, and Moton was tempted to retire before last season.

It makes too much sense. I had known his comp for a while now but wasn't sure if the team was interested. Now that I know they are it's just a matter of seeing where he falls in the draft.

That was simply a rumor. He was never tempted.

Max is a versatile OT that doesn’t need to start day 1. He can play both sides but resembles more of a ready-made RT. 
 

I get an odd feeling Dan & Dave are looking to add more of a “win now” piece at 19 than a guy they can redshirt, but drafting Max would make 2027 and beyond much easier for OL security.

Here is what I see (and you can determine what it means):  Seems to be a lot of early-round attention at WR and LB. 

At WR, the Z-WR (off ball, lined up on TE side, goes in motion a lot.  Can cause mismatches) seems to be the focus.  We really don't have one with Coker or XL.  I have a feeling that Concepcion or Cooper are high on the board.  This tells me they are going to grab a WR early--probably in round 1.

Linebacker is most obviously and certainly the second round pick.  Rodgriquez, Hill, or Golday.

The fact that there is no contact with a Center is interesting, but there are guards.  Chase Bisontis is an interesting name that stands out.  Carver Willis is a short-armed OT that could be a swing T, G, or....C.  He is very good at run blocking. 

OT?  If we are drafting a T early, they sure are keeping it close to the vest.  Visits do not mean interest--it could mean they want a closer look.  Still, No top OTs, No top Centers--what is going on?  This is going to be interesting.

Safety--This is interesting because the talk is that Smiith-Wade might move to FS-but that does not explain why the CBs on this list are unimpressive.  The Safeties they have listed are day 2 players, fwiw, and both were 30 visits.

Edge--bottom of the roster guys.

If I were to guess, based on this, here is what I would wager:  

There would be a high probability of a trade back from 19.  Watch a team moving up for bama QB Simpson.

• Round 1: WR--Concepcion and Cooper both project to late first rounders.  Both are perfect fits for the Z WR (the WR that is not on the line of scrimmage outside the TE)  We don't have that guy right now.   I think we think the offense opens up with a strong Z WR.  MHS Prediction:  Cooper.
• Round 2:  LB--Hill, Golday, and Rodriguez are second-rounders.  One of them will be a Panther.  If we trade back, we could move up for a S.  MHS Prediction:  Rodriguez.

NOTE: Bisontis (C) and McDonald (DT) are wild cards--if either drop in round 2, we take them and move up back into the second for the LB.  If not, we draft the LB and move back up for Haulsy (S) so we have 4 starting-caliber players on days 1 and 2.  

Day 3: TE (Delp is my guess), OT (Travis Burke is my guess), CB, and DT.

 

 

S/O for this analysis;

I pretty much agree, it's going to be WR or Keldric Faulk in the 1st. And definitely defense in the 2nd! LB or DT.

I would actually prefer we trade down a bit and get WR in the late 1st and DT in the 2nd at this point.

They should be looking at winning now, in their position. Scrimping on OL depth is not a recipe for that though. We are scrimping now, with a couple of shaky cornerstones that should not be taken for granted. 
 

If we can’t run the ball what do people think happens with Jr back there and his tippytoes and his can’t see the field and bails the pocket as easy as breathing? If Moton misses time, we will be so fuged. Right now, if Hunt or Lewis go down we have Zavala? C is kind of iffy. 
 

I can’t fathom people thinking a guy that will get a few targets a game is more valuable than having the OL overbuilt and prepared for attrition. But y’all go on with your Madden/7 on 7 thinking.

I would not mind it, but I just don't see it.  

I see TE Delp here in round 4.  I might go with Cooper (WR) in round 1.  Travis Burke (was he a local visit?  Played at Gardner-Webb for a while--I see him as a 6th or 7th).  It sure looks like Safety could be the round 2 pick --I was hoping to grab a LB there--QB?  We are going to bring in a UDFA.  

Of course, this is probably totally wrong.
