I think the Jags are going to go Terrace Marshall or Elijah Moore.  Not much for Trevor to throw to down in Jacksonville.  Need to get him some weapons. 

Same goes for the Jets.  You drafted Wilson, now get him a weapon.  Marshall, Moore ore Rondale Moore would be good for him.  

Falcons should probably go after O-Line but if JOK is there I can't see them passing him up.  Pair him with Deion Jones and that's some LB pair.

Miami is in prime position to take Javonte Williams now that I think about it.  They don't have much of anything at RB.  You give Tua Waddle and Williams and suddenly he looks much better.  Eagles won't be surprising us and taking him.

 

I think if healthy, Andre Cisco could also end up being better than Moehrig in the long run.  I'm a big fan of getting him in the 4th. 

Kenny Yeboah is still the tight end I want.  He's a poor mans Kyle Pitts. and can block.  I think round 4 is his sweet spot unless there's a run on tight ends.

If I’m the jags I’m building my oline up so Lawrence doesnt get absolutely destroyed. They actually have decent wrs in shenault, Marvin jones jr and DJ chark. That’s actually not bad at all. They could use upgrades at LG and LT from norwell and cam Robinson. If i were them I’d take teven jenkins out of okie state.

    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

Seriously, I wouldn't hate going with another WR. I like Mitchell a little better as an overall player but I like Terrace's measurables.  So many ways to go. But if JOK is there, it's a no brainer. Just take him.

I am pleased for Justin Fields getting drafted where did.  I never understood the negativity that surrounded him or the buzz he'd fall to the bottom of the first round. The Bears paid the price, but they had to.

I don't get it either. I think he's going to be a stud in the NFL! Bears fans should be very very happy. They now have a legit QB that can help their offense whilst their defense is legit. 

just look at this seven on defense left to start Rd 2: this should not be a difficult pick even ignoring offense

LB: Cox; Browning; JOK

CB: Campbell; Samuel Jr; K Joseph
S: Moehrig

And their 1st round pick was used on Toney...  Ouch.

It will interesting to see when the OT run starts.  If the Jags and/or Jets go there, could be an opportunity for a small trade down.

You're right.  I forgot about Shenault, he's a stud.  I thought Chark as a FA but I think that was DeDe Westbrook that was.  Jones is a nice veteran to have for him.

Maybe they will take Amari Rodgers in the 3rd to keep the squad together.

Funny thing is JJAW now has a great opportunity, with Reagor, Smith and Watkins the "quick WR" slots are full, but they need a big target or two.

While he flopped at the "X" under Doug, he's in the mix for the WR/H-back hybrid role under Siri.

Indy rolled three TEs with different skill sets, and I expect that here.

JJAW will compete both as a big WR and a potential H-back, he might not justify his #57 pick, but he could be a reliable depth guy. He'll get a shot.

Other than not being 7'1'' why am I not in the NBA. 

Dudes not even close to 200lbs, wont sniff 200lbs. we're LUCKY!!!!!! if he gets to 180lbs where Djax was. 

What’s not to like about him ?

So how many games did Jeffrey miss at 220 lbs? In 9 seasons, 16 games twice, 14, 13, 12, 10 starts before breaking down last season.

We need CB badly.  When 2 of the top CBs went before #12 and with Dallas and Giants picking before us, Howie had to move up to get Smith.  The remaining CBs can be had later picks.  To move up to take the top player is appropriate.

For all his attributes, Smith's size is still a concern.  The cards are dealt and they just to play them the best they can.

Expect them to pick CB and DL in 2nd day.  WR is no a huge need now, but they can bring in guys to compete and for depth. 

Re the OL the G should be a priority.  We have a bit more to work with at T.  The Gs on the roster are either old or unproven.  Need to get a promising G to develop and take over in a season or 2.

RB and TE can use some depth.  Ertz may get traded as a package during draft.  If that can bring back the 3rd lost on getting Smith, that will be good.

Howie got a guy I didn’t want at 6 or 12.  So you’re trying to convince the wrong dude.  And yes, past drafts do matter.  I’m not ready to give up on the 3 WR we drafted last year.  You gotta give time for players to develop.  And we can’t just keep sinking draft picks into WR.  

I would also argue to his point on CB not being as bad as WR. I’d argue it is in as bad if not worse shape long term. Slay is still good but he also left games early last year and missed some games. Hes also 30 and his body could be beginning to show the wear and tear from his years in the league. They have legitimately nothing behind slay. It’s maddox, Arnold, jacquett and Craig James. Maddox has been injury prone since his rookie year and has been bad for the last two years. even when he was in the slot in 2019 before they moved him to the outside he was statistically one for the worst slot corners as he gave up the most receptions and yards of any slot corner through the first 4 weeks in 2019. James, Arnold and Jacquett are JAGs. I think at WR at least they were young with potential upside. Corner besides slay is a bunch of JAGs

this isn’t about knocking smith. I’m just pointing out the corner situation is really bad outside slay which really when we get good again after this rebuild is likely out of his prime and gone. 

I do want Asante, I admit for bloodline reasons, but Campbell out of Georgia is for real. 5 star H-W-S talent.

Fair enough.

Yup just dont understand the lack of production

we value turnovers

but i would be happy with any number of guys at 37

Don't worry, Howie will draft Trask tonight in the 3rd round to add to his QB Factory

There's a lot of talent left on the board that's for sure.

3-4 years ago, yes.  Not today though.

I would be very happy with either Corner or the S out of TCU, but to be frank I think we should go BPA for this draft. Filling a need for next season shouldn't be the guiding factor because we aren't winning anything next year anyways, this is a rebuild and we should pick the best possible players we can.

At #37, even though it might not be a strict need, I think Owusu-Koramoah and Barmore would be the BPA picks.

Howie likes trading with the Cowboys.

Cowboys need OL.

Eagles have #37 and 1 x R3 pick, Cowboys have #44 and 3 x R3 picks

Just sayin'.

Hope he hits them for that 4th round premium he gave up to accomplish wasting a 3rd. Go get ‘em Howie

Chicago must hate trading with us, F them and the Pies

Barmore as well.   

Guess the round1 hype was incorrect.

The Devonta Smith pick reminds me a little of the Barnett pick.  Eagles drafted a highly productive college player from the SEC at a position of need.  Player is under-sized and not extremely athletic by NFL standards.  

Give the kid a few cheesesteaks and he will be fine. To me I love his route running skills which was my top reason I was good with the pick. Needs those skills in todays game, speed doesnt win match ups like it use to, these DBs and even LBs are fast.

We'll agree to disagree.  But I see the Eagles agree with you.  So....

We could take a poll and you would see that 75% of people agree with me.  The corners these days cannot "shut down" receivers because of how ticky tack the game has become.  It is all about high powered offenses now.  Therefore, WR is more important than corner.
