If Brandon Smith makes it to 124 they better sprint to the podium, along with Kyle Philips at 194. Love Woolen as a R2 fallback plan if they don't go CB in the first. No way he makes it to 83. 

Zion.

Corral is lost because he didn't go to the combine. I think he has the highest chance for sustained success in this class.

Ugh. Just...ugh.

Ugh ran a 4:45 but he was being chased by a velociraptor. 

I still like Spiller in the mid-rounds. Not sure he falls to day 3 because of his production though. Pass in RDs1-3.

I'd be happy with this draft.  Always difficult to evaluate QBs.  As some have said it is a lottery ticket.  Pickett looks to me like he could pan out, but who knows.  I do think Davis will be a difference maker in the pros.  Hate the idea of more first round or high pick WRs but it is an important position and unfortunately still a legitimate need.

Bummer,   when I do have that problem, I do a "re-set"-  If I am up in the middle of the night for more than 10-15 mins, I get out of bed, do something relaxing for about 20 mins- read, play solitare etc...   then get back into bed, doing a few relaxing breathing excersises, let my mind go blank - and that usually works.  

Last night when I got up to pee, I went back to bed, and did 2 deep breaths, with slow and total exhales, and was out again in less than a minute.

The bar is low with Hurts...

With a low success rate of arguably 3 out of 16 - this is why I would have given what ever it took to bring in a known franchise QB in Free agency, such as Watson or Wilson. 

And why, now that - that was not feasible, that we might have to draft 3 QB's in the next 5-10 years before we get our Franchise QB. 

 

thats the reality.  

Maybe Sirianni can have an RPS tournament for charity, and invite Andrew Luck to training camp .....

Like a Davis pick.   One of my day 3 safeties in Woods.  Stout as a punter. But a lightweight, not tall WR in the first is a no go for me.

Koback. , RB from , Toledo having nice proday

are they doing their drills on Notre Dame's old grass?

My issues with Pickett:

He had ONE big season, which was still, by no means, special relative to other first round QBs.  

That one big season came at 23 years old as a 5th year senior.

Zach Wilson, a prospect I never really liked, had ONE big season too...but it happened at 21 as a junior and was paired with vastly superior arm talent.  

The talent isn't special.  The productivity isn't special.  The polish isn't special.  AND he's very old. 

What separates him from the rest of this class is that he's safe.  There is talent.  There is production.  There is polish.  We reached for Hurts in round 2 "because backup QB's have second round value."  Ironically, Pickett is the sure-fire quality backup QB.  

The difference between Pickett and the other one-year wonders who earned first round picks is that they had either more extremes of talent or more extremes of one-year productivity.

Spiller anywhere under the 3rd round is going to be a steal.  I love the way he runs.

You also have to ask....did Jordan Addison help Pickett look better than he is or did Pickett being the QB help Addison?

Romo wasn't drafted. He was signed as an UDFA. 

Point remains. If you have to point at outliers to justify your strategy, the debate has been lost.

I had a short period of insomnia a while back, and did some research, the breathing excercise helped me.  The military uses a similar excerise called the 4-7-8  breathing excercise.

Sounds like Joe Burrow.  One big (monster) year, 23 years old 5th year senior with small hands.

 

I definitely expect Lowie to draft a RB this year.  It is very likely that Sanders is in his final year in Philly. 

As we all know, they don't like to draft RB too high.  As easy as it can be to find serviceable RB's on short notice, the safest way to do it is to draft them one year before you need them.  They are almost certainly high on Gainwell, but I don't think they've seen enough so early to pencil him in as more than one head of a two-pronged attack for 2023.  Someone in the 2022 draft will be the other half of their commitment to that.

But like I said, the heights of Burrow's monster year vastly exceeded Pickett.

I like Corral more than Pickett.  I just can’t buy Willis.  I don’t like Ridder.  I don’t think he makes it in the NFL.  

With you on all but Ridder. I think he can develop into a quality starter but will take some time. Hell of an athlete
