We'll have a much better idea of who we'll be drafting after we play our last game. Its hard to predict right now where we will end up because we've recently been stringing wins together. If we win out (unlikely, but possible) we wont have a chance at a lot of the prospects we're currently being mocked for.

Yes, I think we miss out on Claiborne.. unfortunately. He was my top pick for us. With Kalil not entering the draft, that makes it more unlikely.

1. Colts - Luck

2. Vikes - Riley Rieff/Blackmon

3. Rams - Blackmon/Rieff

4. Jags - Claiborne

There is your top 4.

There's also Jonathon Martin. He's an incredible talent, and very high on a lot of people's Draft boards. I would see the Rams taking an offensive lineman, especially since Sam Bradford was hit all season long.

Even if Rieff and Martin go #2 and #3 respectively, Blackmon will go the Jags at #4, then Claiborne will get snagged by the Bucs before us.. we need to lose to the Bucs in order for us to have a shot at Claiborne. I don't think the Bucs will beat us at home.. do you?

True, but the Jags situation could be the interesting one. PFT did an article a few days ago talking about how the new coach in Jacksonville might not be committed to Gabbert, especially if a better option presents itself.

If Barkley declares, there's him, as well as RG3.

I think it would be dumb to go to another QB so fast after drafting Gabbert, but, new owner, new coach, eh. We'll see.

It has happened once before (drafting a QB in the 1st round two years in a row). It is possible considering the new coaching staff, and Gabbert has not been light out.. and doesn't seem to be improving too quickly. I hope Barkley declares along with Kalil because that will help a ton in dropping Claiborne.. but still, if we beat the Bucs again, it will be a moot point because they will assurededly take Claiborne.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
