First Round: Pick 1: Bryce Young, QB Alabama Second Round: Pick 39 Derick Hall EDGE, Auburn Third Round: Pick 93 Jonathan Mingo WR, Ole Miss Fourth Round: Pick 114 Cory Trice CB, Purdue Fourth Round: Pick 132 Jakorian Bennett CB, Maryland Fifth Round: Pick 145 Anthony Bradford OG, LSU

Hanging with the boys, honestly would probably prefer watching it by myself to really concentrate but fug it.

Solid draft aside from the third round, Brenton Strange is Tommy Tremble. Solid player but very redundant with our previous third round run blocking TE.

I agree, makes sense that he cancelled the rest of his visits.

I like Kendre Miller, Chase Brown, Deneric Prince as my later RB’s. Would be happy with any of them with our 5th round pick, hopefully we trade down from #39 and pick up some later round picks to play with.

THATS GONNA BE SO AWESOME TO SEE!

Duce Staley likes having a tools bases backfield. Miles Sanders will 100% be our 3 down rb, Chuba will back him up, we still need a true power back. Honestly, not a very important position in todays age and can be found with a vet minimum. Or honestly, we could use Laviska Shenault in the backfield, at his size of 220 he would be our heaviest back.

The value of the free agent RB market is very inexpensive. A above average back Damien Harris went for a one year, 1.7 mill contract. Rashad Penny went for 1.2 mill, linked below is Chuba Hubbards current rookie contract he was a 4th rounder and will make 1.1 mill this year. I’m not suggesting splurging on another RB, they’re a very undervalued position and can make economical sense in free agency. I would prefer to spend our later picks on higher upside positions in areas of need, we lack depth in a multitude of positions. Depth in positions that cannot be as fixed as easily as free agency.

Great take, was thinking the same thing with Shenault. He’s a big dude, 220 with decent speed and he already plays like a RB in the open feild.

We have limited draft capital, wasting a pick on a niche role is a wast of draft capital. Cost vs value? What are you even referencing, due to the abundance of quality backs these older vet power Rbs are cheap and affordable. Look at our Donta Foreman signing last season and Mike Davis in years past. Give me that all day, would rather draft a developmental guy in true areas of need then draft our RB 3.

Why waste a draft pick when we can just pick up one of the many solid short yardage backs in the free agent market! Kareem Hunt Ezekiel Elliott Leonard Fournette Kenyan Drake

Why do you not like him now? That franchise guy talked very highly on Henley.

I think he’s gonna be a steal wherever he’s drafted, has all the traits and is a hard working intelligent dude.

Some later round corners I like Cory Trice- Big ass athletic corner, 6 ft 3 206 pounds with longer arms than Brady Christensen. Ran a 4.46 40, with surprising agile 6.7 3 cone for his size. Plus put up a respectable 17 reps on the bench. Overall, his tape reflects what a long and strong player he is. Love watching him use his size to body wrs, plays strong. His biggest con is his playmaking, he’s not gonna fill the stat sheet with interceptions. My pro comp is Shaquille Griffen, with his size and athletic profile. Crazy enough his closest physical comp is Pat Surtain. Clark Philips- Quite the opposite type of player compared to Cory Trice. This guy is a playmaker who excels with great technique and tenacious play demeanor. He’s a smaller corner at 5’9 184, but he plays bigger. He’s also not the fastest corner, ran a 4.51 40 which is slightly below average especially for his frame but it is manageable especially with his play instincts. Ironically Steve Smith loves this guy, if Steve Smith was a bit slower and played corner it would probably look a lot like Clark Philips. Projects best as a slot corner, was much higher rated at the beginning of the year and fell down due to testing numbers/recency bias. Links-

Personally I’m very much in doubt of Donte Jackson playing quality football next year. Doubt he returns before the season begins, and his game is so dependent on his killer speed and he just tore his Achilles which is known to zap speed. I’m intrigued with Henderson playing in a more zone heavy scheme, but still that’s a projection. We need to walk out of the draft with a minimum of one corner, doesn’t even need to be early but we desperately need depth.

I see them drafting in the top ten, but if they couldn't do it this year I doubt they pick higher next year.

Cardinals or Bucs

Happens brother no sweat we’re all human

Great post brother, great analysis love to see these types of posts. Personally, I believe CB to be our second-largest need due to Jackson's Achilles tear that's the absolute worst possible injury for any athlete but especially a player like Jackson who is so reliant on his speed and is undersized. I doubt he returns before week 5 next year, and will not be the same player when he returns. That makes CJ our #2 and absolutely horrid depth behind that(Taylor, Oliver, possibly Rowe). We need at least two new corners for depth, I doubt we don't walk away from the Draft with at least one CB.

Exactly, this is because BMI is only calculated by your weight in KG divided by your height in meters squared. It literally is just based on your height and weight, your lean muscle mass is not accounted for whatsoever. Useless in terms of scouting outside of anomaly’s.

BMI is a pretty useless metric for athletes, does not take in to account their body fat %. Pretty much every position outside of ST, and WR would be considered obese. BMI is made for the general population, works well when this nation is fat as fug for a general idea of someone’s obesity levels for a normal person.

John Elway is this you?

That is not a dad bod, not Anthony Richardson but he’s still an athletic looking dude
