This might be the most unpredictable and exciting first round of an NFL draft ever. Considering the consensus seems to be there are only a few elite level talents, but around 15-50 are all very similar things could get crazy. I am also seeing a lot of differing opinions in mocks for guys in the top 15. Travon Walker and Kyle Hamilton for example I see in some mocks going 2nd, and in others failing just outside of the top 10.

Yep. It’s the most unpredictable draft in awhile. Even the #1 pick is up for debate.

Poe was only 6'3"

Davis is what 6'7"

I think that extra length gives him a different dimension than po.

Davis is a bigger, more athletic Haloti Ngata:

Over 50% of players that Howie will draft will not significantly be mentioned in here in the months preceding the draft. Bank on it.

I think 50% is a low estimate.

A lot of noise about Eagles and QBs, first the Pickett dinner, then the Corall visit, and now the Willis call.

Either Howie is mind f****** the QB thirsty teams or buckle in for a QB pick.

I'm only doing this once, but this would make me happy:

Never liked the DE value on the board, but I really loved the way every other pick fits on this team.

Sooo Jalen Hurts was a steal?  :roll:

 

I think we should give him back and pay restitution

Would not dislike London & McDuffie, but there are people here that hate the Pac-12 and would be furious.

Are there bonus points for a speed receiver with the top pick though?

No. Only for H-Backs

81.125” wingspan. Dude sticks his arms out and can hug a VW Beetle. :lol:

Strong at 51 is a reach and you got two backups for Maddox, not an outside CB. Like R1 and love R5-7. But 2-4? Ouch.

They gave me a d- for making the best pick in the draft.

I also like 2 rbs later.  In 2023, we’ll lose our 2 most frequently used RBs on the team in Hurts and Sanders.  May need 2 guys in the rotation to bolster Gainwell.

Flott projects outside, but Jones does look like a slot for sure.  I like him as a RS though.  Mid rounds, guys have flaws.

If we needed a slot, Jones is a no brainer, but I can’t justify it with our current roster to take a return specialist in the top 100. And Flott could bulk up and learn the outside spot but is he better than McPhearson, Gowan, etc. We have a ton of developmental outside guys already. If they’re gonna take a CB it needs to be a guy who can win CB2 spot.
