One less spot to fill and he was already here.

@MHS831, lucky for you when I run my mocks Will Johnson is usually the top guy (not named Jeanty) left standing at #8. I'm not crazy about drafting another guy coming off an injury even if it is a need position. Apparently it's a chronic turf toe issue. Isn't that an injury that lingers forever? I mean, it put him out most of last season.

So our IR list is not going to read like a novel after 3 games anymore?

Some team(s) will pull the trigger in the second round. There's several teams reluctantly returning their starters this year. So I can see one or two of them drafting Dart and/or Ewers in the second round and sitting them a year. The Saints, Steelers, Seahawks and Browns come to mind. Based off talent though, yes, the 3rd round is where the value of QB3 is this draft.

Which part, the boner for RAS scores or the trying to sneak out of the bedroom at day break becasue your drunken model transformed into Medusa by morning?

Edge is the only position that we have to get early. DL, ILB and S can be had later on, no issues there. As discussed, CB seems thin this draft, but a mid-round flier is certainly in play. IOL can always be found later in the draft. WRs and TEs, on the other hand, gets much more dicey the later you wait.

Apparently Dan learned too much from Scott over the years.

True, but it's a different dynamic this go around. Last year the drop off was after QB6, this year it's after QB2. So once the Falcons unexpectedly took Penix at #8 (being injured) that left only two options for starters with two teams needing starting QBs. It lined up almost too perfectly. The Vikings and Broncos knew there was no chance in hell that McCarthy or Nix was sliding to them in the second round if they didn't pull the trigger. Maybe it was a bit high for them, but not egregiously so. Taking Dart or even Ewers in the top half of round 1 this year would be reaches of immense proportions. Again, all the teams at the back end of round 1 have their starting QBs. Go figure that one, playoff teams having a franchise QB. Possibly the Rams look for a guy to take over for Stafford in a year or two, but I highly doubt it.

He's got to have one heck of a Combine and Pro Day. As of now, he's seemingly overtaken Ewers for QB3, but not enough to jump all the way to the first round, let alone the top 10. My gut tells me a team like the Raiders or Saints will jump on him at the top of the second round. The only team at the back of the first round possibly needing a QB is Pittsburgh, that's if they don't keep Fields or Wilson.

Yes, they did want Brooks and that's why we moved up to stick it to them. Well, we stuck it to ourselves in typical Panthers fashion. They are wanting their next generation Zeke. A proven bell cow on a rookie deal so they can pay their other stars. As far as T-Mac goes, stud WRs are game changers. That WR class last year was so loaded that he while would have gone later than Harrison Jr., Nabers and perhaps Odunze, the first two were considered can't miss prospects. That's not a knock on T-Mac as much as how sure-fire talents the top two guys were.

On the flip side, if we trade back 4,5, or 6 spots and he's still on the board, I'm down to draft him. I'm not against a Rd1 TE, just not in the top 10.

It seems the Cowboys have a boner for Jeanty. Maybe we can get them to bite with the illusion of him being the target for us.

Johnson seems to be beneficiary of a seemingly weak CB class, certainly top echelon ones. Granted I haven't dove into the draft as much this season as prior years, but I have yet to see glowing reviews for him. Stated like this, would he be a top 10 CB in a stacked CB class? Similar to the QBs this draft, Sanders and Ward would have been second round selections in last years QB class.

Looks like you favor moving back as realistically none of them make out of the top 5.

It's like the GM says, "hey scouts, what would be the top 3 stupidest things to ruin our draft?" They say, don't do a,b,c." GM says "Great! love the input, so we drat players a,b,c." Scouts say, "Wait, I thought you said things we SHOULDN'T do?" GM to scouts, "okay, have a nice day."
