I take BPA WR or TE it all depends what's on the board. I don't stretch for a WR just cause AJ left

Howie will move all around, He always does. He always loves a good splash play too. At this point AJ seems to be wanting to stay, but now with the rift, do we want him to?

No obsession, just a need for a well rounded team, that starts with a QB a RB and WR's on both ends(assuming you have an O line), then I worry about TE and lastly the slot

And this is again where I differ you are neglecting the TE a key component of Mcvay/Shanahan O that Mannion is coming from.

Kraft was the 3rd leading receiver for the packers he only played 8 games this season. Was 2nd for them last season.

Kittle was 3rd for SF last year in 11 games, 1st for them in 2024 with a full season.

Always should be the approach with my mindset that we prioritize the trenches with the top 2 picks though think TE is the strength of the 3rd round

Michael Mayer(TE) from LV. I liked him last year too. Sitting behind Brock Bowers(none of those in this draft) can't be much fun

Howie also is generally very good at going into the draft with no real holes on the roster we tend to sign guys in FA to at least have coverage for all our "weaknesses” obviously could be upgraded but also not glaring holes anymore either.

Sure, that has to be the priority. Now with Stoutand gone Becton may not even want to come here. Hard to believe in '24 were SB champs how fast it all fell apart lol

I want him to stay, but it's more how the team feels about him. He was a captain and definitely acted like a fool on social media and asked for a trade. Do the guys trust him or not is the real question.

But as you said and I agree it started with the O line falling apart

Think the only real issue with AJ is between him and Hurts. And that likely what’s going to get AJ traded out of Philly

Even so he got 1k and so did Smitty. His drops in the SF game did nothing to warrant the team backing him. So IDK what to think. I am not in the locker room. I really don't trust Hurts either

And if a players like Jermod McCoy falls to you do you still draft trenches

On the OL I’m honestly really excited to see about Will Lampkin was a stud last offseason for the rams. A blocking scheme that should mirror what Mannion wants to bring here. Could be perfect fit in the it interior for us.

But we are stuck with Mr. Quitter, so may was well use this as a rebuild year and not expect much

If a guy rated in the top 10 falls all the way to us at 23 I’m questioning why he is falling and likely steering clear.

But but asking how I’d rate guys who knows is McCoy better then the Miami OT or Faulk DE from Auburn if they were all available who would I take.

It’s all a subjective on what you value…. Think were we are picking really good spot for an edge or interior OL( would prefer a OT but seems like the inside guys are just better around where we pick).

I'm more interested in Cameron Williams he played good in week 18

Dudes a smaller guy. IDK if he can take the pounding. PS you can't be a stud in the offseason LOL

Ioane is a pure G, Dunker can be a G and possible RT fill. A guy coming on I want to see at the combine is Blake Miller

Then you have a guy like Proctor who is MAMMOTH. Do you move for him?

He was one of the highest graded OL last preseason really all he can ask for from an UDFa trying to make a mark on a team. Now full NFL offseason under his belt think he could easily be in the mix for starting G spot

But the main question still going to be how many OL starters are we looking at replacing? If Dickerson/Lane retire you have at least 2 guaranteed. Steen seem like a guy we should have competing as well.

3/5ths of the OL? Then is Cam going to be back 100% was dealing with his back all season.

Ioane is the only inside guy I would take in the 1st Dunker I would take in rd 2 if Miller wasn't there I love me some Miller time

They have us taking Freeling. We love our Bulldogs drafting

IDK,if Lane retires we have F Johnson, who feels he can start and wants paid like it. An AJ deal with a pick would give us leverage to move up for an anchor OT for 5 years and while we have many needs, if you are serious you need that RT anchor before talking about much else. I can fill RG's but using fill in RT's is not something I would want. I thought F Johnson did ok as a fill in. Not going to pay him starter loot JMO
