There’s a ton of QB prospects in this draft. No need to risk overpaying BY and be stuck with a bad contract. When guys like Mensah will be available next year.

This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…) I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum

This is true. And instead of getting too focused on that. Sometimes you’re better off just drafting the best players. Instead of forcing a position. We took the best guys available and bet on that players were dropping that also filled positions of need. Guys like Hecht, Wheatley, Brazzell were guys who could’ve gone higher, but fell for whatever reason and also filled needs by not getting too desperate

Eh. Don’t hate prospect, but there were guys I liked more available

You have a 30 year old guard coming off a season ending injury making 25milllion a year who could be released and the $ used elsewhere to shore up other positions while getting a guy whose regarded right up there with Nelson as far as G prospects historically

Ioane wouldn’t be a depth piece lol

You get arguably a top 10 prospect in the draft at 19 and a top 30-40 prospect in the 50s and you guys complain. smh

Your draft plan shouldn’t be based solely on whether they’re starting day 1 cause frankly most rookies aren’t big impact players on day 1 anyway.

I don’t want to give OP too much crap. My counter point would be that most of those positions we absolutely take if we felt the BPA was there. We’d 100% draft Mendoza. QB isn’t in play because no one thinks Simpson will be BPA. RB Isn’t in play because Love will be gone and everyone else is a R2 prospect No C is in play for R1. OT and G are interesting. Not sure Ioane will be there. Some have him as a top 10 prospect, others not as much. At OT I think Mauigoa would be the pick but will be gone. Not sure how Freeling or Fano are viewed. again tho Edge isn’t in contention because the ones worth drafting will be gone. At CB I think we’d consider Delane as BPA if he slipped.

I actually think we’re on the few teams I’d consider for drafting Faulk. His lack of pass rushing productivity gives me reservations for a 4-3 edge. I’ve heard draft guys say some of it was scheme n his job to occupy blockers to free up LBs or whatever. But he hasn’t shown me enough to be a first round edge as a pass rusher. Buts he’s 6’6 280 with long arms and stout against the run. And he’s young and could add size. Think there’s room for him to be a strong fit in an odd front. Not sure he’s my first choice. But I wouldn’t hate it.

I’m not sure I love it considering he has 12 sacks over the last 3 years. But if he hits he could really transform the defense

As a Miami fan… idk that I’m in on Mesidor this high. I view him as more of an end in a traditional 4 man front. He did play standing up a lot at Miami. But he leaves a little to be desired imo.

Making blanket statements about trading up or down are kinda meaningless in a vacuum. Sonny Styles is a great prospect. IMO he probably goes top 5. We’d have to give up basically a whole draft worth of pics to get there for a line backer on a team that lacks talent and I wouldn’t love that. I doubt he falls past 7. But in the chance he does. I’d absolutely be thrilled to trade up for him. It just depends on the price But tbh. I like CJ Allen. I think a guy like that could upgrade our LB room and defense overall. And I think someone falls. maybe it’s Sadiq as weapon of a TE. Maybe it’s one of the top 3 WRs. Maybe Delane or McCoy fall There’s going to be good football players where we’re at imo

Bain/Brown would be tough. Rotating in the other guys as well

Don’t think Bain is there at 11. But he’s arguably a top 5 prospect.
