Mailata proved to be better than Dillard... 7th rounder beat out a 1st rounder.

Dickerson was a C...yet he is now the best LG in the league... sometimes things actually work differently and even better than your original plan.

Why not see what works best and go with it. 

Especially from a Hurts Stan perspective...where it should be all about putting the best line in front of him.   So what if Cam turns out to be better playing RG or just the combo works better with him there?   Should be about what's best for the team, not what Kelce wanted 2 years ago.

My guess is we've been trying to get Justin Simmons on board but he's asking too much.

Also don't think it's the end of the world if we hold on to Reddick. Would like to get some picks and shed the salary going into his last yr and we'll still have some dead cap after he goes. Holding on to a guy who's  still getting double digit sacks isn't totally a bad thing, although expensive.

I love Mailata! My point was dont be desperate and fill a hole. Pick best player available. If Caleb williams fell to 22, do you pass because you have Hurts? No way. That’s all Im saying.

So you want to waste the 1 pick for Mailiatas BU? Makes no sense when there ARE holes to fill just sayin. Hurts is our QB(like it or not) We Need the #1 TE before we need Hurts BU

I pass on the QB ... I agree best player...again for me it's not a " grade"  it's simply the guy you think will impact the most wins for your team and who you want I'm the locker room.

However....QB, P, K, LS... those positions I do include unless needed.   

But at 22.. take the best OL,DL, S, LB, WR, CB, TE... whoever is best...   notice not including RB either... I'll save that for day 3 at the earliest THIS YEAR.

IDK I just think Howie will want a stud DT to replace Cox. It's a Howie pick and although they are HUGE shoes to fill,one of the top 2 DT's has the best shot to fill them

Howie won't take a CB,S or LB, unless he breaks history. WR would also be a bad choice. Nothing wrong with who we have Hurts has to HIT the guys we have. I would use that WR pick later for a decent slot guy. Washinigton(who can also play out), Ainias Smith,Luke McCaffrey or that kid from Florida. So for me it's OL or DL and as I said I think Howie wants to replace Cox. Nothing wrong with Bebbe,my first round 2 choice at RG

Here's a late LB I am looking at-trevin Wallace. He is under the radar but really has better traits than guys who will go ahead of him. He has even moved ahead of my pick Jacobs(Penn state)

I absolutely believe the Eagles will go line on their first pick too... probably OL.

OK I'm saying DL because we can get Beebe(O line) in round 2. I just think most teams will be after Powers-Johnson and I can't see Howie making that jump up.That would pretty much drop Newton in our lap(the #2 DT off the board). So we'll see. You have O line,I have D line. Let' see what everyone else thinks. I mean specifically just for fun,not "best guy" So we have 1 OL,1 DL as of now. Let's hear from 93,58,Ham, Sen and eaglesTD123

We can... Beebe guaranteed will be there.  No shot he goes 49 or sooner?  You know for a fact he will be there and that's who they want?

I'm thinking OL...because the last 2 years they went DL first.   Not so much due to any kid named Beebe...lol

https://www.nflmockdraftdatabase.com/big-boards/2024/consensus-big-board-2024?pos=DL Here's the DT layout according to the BB consensus(not engraved in stone) Powers-Jackson is around 19 I think,so they are all gettable,but Newton can be had without moving,at least that is what I see. of course the pro scouts know more than me. Newton did not perform at the combine,so ?????

No I know nothing as a fact,just giving my best estimates

If I had to wager....on the odds of the first pick.

1 = OL.  2 = DL.   3 = CB.

The surprise factor would be if the stud TE from Georgia drops.  That would be awesome.

I also think we see a major move in the secondary with a veteran... maybe trade for a CB...but I think that may be a year away.

I have CB as the second round 2 pick. Maybe one shakes loose from another team after the draft cuts we can snag as insurance

DT,OL,CB are what I have right now

I don't think they approach it as... we can take this position because we can get this other guy later.  Like we do in fantasy. 

You said in a post a while back...the 4th round is going to be loaded with good WRs...   I'm going to pay attention to see how many WRs go round 4.  

I don't think wise to assume all that... I'm guessing a few of those guys you have round 4...will go round 2 or 3. 

Wondering how much Howie is listening to what the new coaches are telling him. Newton(DT) is a 3 tech which is what we play mostly

Very possible,but of the 4 I like 1 should still be around in 4. Just a guess of course

See you put them in order of who they draft... I just think for the 1st pick... OL, DL or CB...in that order...don't think the first 3 picks go like that though.  TE, S or LB should be mixed in.

Round 4 WR pick possibilities- Malik Washington,Luke McCaffrey,Ainias Smith,the kid from Florida(Pearsall) I think Pearsall is the one most likely to NOT be there. He could go end of 2 or in the 3rd. Pearsall is more of an outside guy anyhow. I'm looking for a top notch slot WR

But Joe you are right about this part,we usually find the next TE1 in this draft or the next if we have to move on from Goedert,like we did with Ertz
