Okay guys it's time we agree to disagree when it comes to the #1 overall pick. Let's start projecting the 3rd round(65th) pick, without using any crazy trade scenarios. Just assume your guy is picked with the #1 pick, who do you have us picking with the 65th overall pick.

My choice is Phil Taylor! I'm hearing this guy can go anywhere from the end of the 1st round to as low as the 3rd round, due to off the field issues, so I'm hoping we somehow luck up and have this guy drop to us the same way Clausen did. Bad example, but you get what I'm saying.

Phil Taylor is going to be a 1st round pick. I have him going to the Chargers in my latest mock; but certainly no later than the Jets. And IF he does somehow manage to slip into the 2nd, he won't last long. It's a shame we don't have that 2nd rounder... f**king Armanti Edwards trade.

As for the 3rd round pick... being realistic, my top-5 scenarios are:

1. Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia: He seems to be dropping somewhat, but is still a very talented player with good size for a corner.

2. Drake Nevis, DT, LSU: Once considered a 1st round pick, has been passed over for guys like Phil Taylor and Corey Liuget. Would be a great pickup here.

3. Jordan Cameron, TE, USC: I'd REALLY like to be able to nab him with one of our back-to-back picks at the end of the 3rd/beginning of th 4th, but he's created a ton of buzz and we may be lucky to see him fall to us here. TE isn't nearly the need CB & DT are, but he has big time ability and I can see him developing into a beast under Chudzinski.

4. John Moffitt, OG, Wisconsin: It's hard to say if we'll consider taking a guard this early. It'll largely depend on what the new staff thinks of Geoff Schwartz, but Moffitt would be a solid pick at the top of the 3rd round.

5. Lawrence Wilson, OLB, Connecticut: Again, this depends on James Anderson & Thomas Davis' situations, but it's probably safe to say at least one of them won't be back so a surprise type pick here could be an OLB like Wilson.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By CRA · Posted

      A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.

      Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
