He will be there 2nd round, and very likely at our 3rd round pick too.

Mayfield, Cosmi, Eichenberg, and would add Jenkins, Christensen, and Hudson are a few more tackles. Leatherwood could make it as a RT, but may ultimately move to Guard. Davis, Smith, Humphrey, and Meyers, and would add Meinerz, Carman, Dickerson, and Hill. As for CB, Eric Stokes, Aaron Robinson, Greg Newsome, Tyson Campbell are a few possibilities.

Any specific players?

So much QB talk, including 1st round pick talk on the board, I want to see who you think we should target in rounds 2 and 3 Assume we use our 1st rounder on a QB, whether its by draft or by trading for Watson.

Only if as an organization we feel its worth the chance. If we feel that way, a 7th is a small price to pay to ensure you get a talented like him opposed to 30 other teams having a shot at him as well.

Yes, and there is a big difference in tweaking your system compared to re-designing the entire system around one player. For example, you wouldn't draft a pure power blocking guard and insert him into a zone blocking system, then try to make the other 4 guys power scheme blockers.

Nice conversation?

Obviously you want the best players possible, but you also absolutely want players that fit what you want to do. Matt Rhule has even talked about drafting players that fit into their system. Belichick and the Patriots dominated the league for a long time drafting players that fit into their system. The key is finding the most talented players that also fit what you want to do as a coaching staff. Understand, I am not against Lance, and I am not promoting Jones. Both possess NFL qualities with Jones being much more accurate and Lance being much more athletic. I honestly wouldn't pick either guy top 10.

When I spoke of accuracy above, I was speaking of throws like this at the Senior Bowl. Most contribute Mac Jones success to wide open receivers, because that is exactly what he had at Alabama. Now, I am not jumping on a Mac Jones bandwagon or anything, but when you run a system that requires accurate ball placement, and you read an article about one QB having accuracy issues, then you hear about another QB displaying accuracy at the senior bowl, and an example below, you have to question which is best for your team. https://twitter.com/PFF_AustinGayle/status/1354547740429197317?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1354547740429197317|twgr^|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=

Who said that Burrow wasn't mobile? However, that accuracy from Burrow is very nice.

I don't know how long we will be able to keep Joe Brady around, but as long as he is around this us not the type of QB to be successful. I have said it before, if we are drafting a QB then we should be going for Zach Wilson. If we cannot get Wilson, then it is very POSSIBLE that Mac Jones is the next best choice. Brady came from the Sean Payton system where Drew Brees makes quick reads and delivers accurate passes just like Joe Burrow did for Brady at LSU.

Speaking of kicker, for anybody that doesn't like Joey Slye, go check out Jose Borregales from Miami.

Not going to set them up, and not going to let them off the hook. Right now they can build around Lawrence whole watching their division rival lose it all.

No, I suggested a 7th rounder that COULD turn into a 4th if he became a starter and played a very high percentage of our snaps. If he doesn't work out you lose a 7th and move on. If he becomes a starter and nails down a starting spot I have no problem changing that to a 4th. Obviously there are concerns which is why he would have to prove himself and play his way to the pick switching. I don't feel that he is a starting tackle, but I believe he can be a dominate RG talent wise.

Houston would be dumb enough to try and be stubborn even though it makes the situation worse for themselves.

Those teams have to be willing to offer that much value.

I 100% agree. I don't see him becoming a tackle in the NFL. He needs to be moved to Guard

Guy had a few issues as a rookie, but will hopefully mature, and maybe a change of scenery will do good. As for his play, he has the measurables and size to be a starting tackle, but he has a flaws in technique, trouble with his foot movement on the edge, and lets pass rushers get into him. I think a move to RG would be best, and believe he would be a stud at RG. Maybe offer a 2022 7th that covers to a 4th if he plays ? percent of our offensive snaps. It's the 1st round contract $ that would worry me most.

No doubt they are a great fit too with Ruggs, Waller, and Josh Jacobs.

Not a bad fit, but the Cowboys are the team that sticks out to me. There could be a tag and trade of Dak, and the Cowboys have Cooper, Lamb, and Gallup with a TE in Schultz, and a RB in Zeke. That offense would be explosive

Guys, we are clearly missing the point of "paying" any price. Tepper has a grand strategy of offering a trade package and writing Cal McNair a huge check behind the scenes.

What do we see as a trade for Tua? What do we give up?

What do we see a trade for Tua looking like?

Honestly, Tua in Joe Brady's offense could be great. Tua is most often compared to Drew Brees, and the Brady offense is very similar to the Saints. I am not saying Tua is Brees, just that he has been compared.

We aren't even listed as an option because he has no interest in coming here. So, there really is no argument to be had at this point. What I hope for is for Wilson to go to the Jets. That would eliminate a strong option for Watson. I feel Miami is more likely to stick with Tua than the Jets are to stick with Darnold. Another thought, the Jets have (2) first this year, and (2) more 1st next year. With Wilson being 32 years old, maybe the Jets can keep pick 2 by trading their later 1st this year, both 1st next year, a total of (3) 1st along with Darnold. If the Jets keep pick 2 and land Wilson, we could look at moving up to pick 2 for Zach Wilson So, we could benefit in the pursuit of Watson, and if that fails, possibly have a chance at QB2 in the draft
