Greg Cosell & Doug Farrar podcasts are back, and they've got one up today which is a review of preseason performance. at the 27:40 mark of this link -

the subject is Star Lotulelei and Kawann Short.  Both guys relate their draft evaluations of these players to how they performed in preseason action, most notably the Ravens game where they went full bore against mostly starters for a half and then some.

 

Cosell speaks about how 'nimble' Star is, and his positional versatility, and Farrar chimes in.

 

The discussion about Short is more about snap count in college versus NFL, and how that ties into evaluating draft prospects. Cosell wonders if Kawann can't be a very effective player playing 30-35 snaps per game to start.

 

short talk, but it's mostly positive and they've clearly watched at least the Baltimore game in detail.

They went in depth about Short. Cosell thought he would prosper with around 30-35 snaps a game in a rotation as his flash plays will be more consistant.

Star got the he is the "new" type of DT that can play all positions on the line.

Lazy summary for the lazy ones who hate listening to anything.

Its a great podcast that I will listen to on the regular this season.

      https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp Going by this chart that won’t get it done, at all.  both of our 5th rounders are worth 56, total.    The 51st is valued at 390. Moving to 41 takes 100 points. In the second where we are, it is basically 10 points per slot. You can get in front of TB for 60 points. Baltimore at 45.  Which who would do that for 56 points? You are on a wing and a prayer.    To realistically have a good shot at these top guys, outside of Golday, it is gonna take at least 100 points, I am thinking.  And when they go, Golday’s market probably gets a lot hotter.  Just going by the rankings/valuations, I am thinking if you realistically want to assure you get your guy it will take trading back in the first. Which is why I have been saying to do that if we can.  For example 19 is valued at 875. 21 is 800. That, plus one of the 5ths gets you to 100 points which you theoretically could use to get to 41.    I think there are going to be several good options for us at 19, if we are good with taking what is left at 21-23 we can get a good player plus fund a trade up for one of these LBs which is what I am thinking makes sense.

      I'm just letting everyone know he's on the list in the second tier, not that I think it gets there because Donovan wants the job.  UNC is waiting on Lloyd and Arizona's run to end, if that doesn't work out then Donovan is likely the new head coach.
