We went with the Jag and got a really nice luggage cargo carrier. Drilled some air holes, and we were good to go. I get it. I just think they know about Moton's knee and Ickey's prognosis more than they are telling us. If good in both cases, Morgan may not go OT. If either is questionable, I hope we go OT...I am not a huge fan of the OTs that could be there at 19, but I would get it. Lomu if Ickey is bad, maybe blake Miller if Moton is the concern. I could see it.

And the TE? We have that guy on the roster already--600 yards in 2 years? Wooooo. Playmaker. I like the TE from Stanford if we are bottom fishing.

I am fine with the first and third picks. Not my preferences, but the impact of a free safety is hard to determine. I also think there is equal to nearly equal value at C on day 3.

this is terrible.

Drops? 9% is not good.

9% drops? That scares me. However, the average in the NFL (drops) is around 6.5%. Having played in college with a variety of QBs (practice--we had 9 qbs during the 2 years I played), I can say some throw an easier to catch ball than others. Personally, I see his stock rising and it seems by April 23, he might be a top 15 pick.

This is the best reason for drafting a T--Moton's knee is also a big concern for me--I am not sure if it is still justified, but leg injuries for big men can be degenerative. I have argued against it--I think Morgan will think it has been addressed and will draft a Late-round OT with upside. Forsythe? What the hell was that? I am leaning WR (guessing what they might do) because they really don't have a Z WR, based on Cosell's description of the position. TE is in play. DT is in play. The thing I am most confident about? LB in round 2.

I think they wanted to dispell the rumors of his work ethic, but that is speculation. Interesting point. I am thinking (right now) that they might go WR again.

Personally, I have argued that the pick is probably unlikely to be an OT in an effort to read the tea leaves, but I am an OL fanatic and would get it. By now, they probably have info about Ickey and I think the decision will be based on the likelihood of his return to form by 2027. Thanks to Cosell, I am more inclined to lean towards the Z WR and Concepcion or Cooper. After he explained it, I felt that it is a need. DT could easily be the pick. Who did we get to replace Robinson? I think any GM looks to upgrade a position, not simply replace. That would suggest an early draft pick, maybe? I am not happy about having Scott back. Please tell me that was a depth move. When it comes to TE, I pray we don't love Sadiq. I doubt it is a CB, C, or Edge, but if an elite CB or Edge fell to us....(to your point). I think we could try to trade back if there is a market.

There are some guards and OTs with short arms that project to C, so it is difficult to know--Heck, the RT from Utah I think, who was considered a mid first rounder, is now being discussed as a G or C because his arms are 32" or so.

I was down on TMac. Work ethic. I wanted Golden. Golden got hurt and had 360 yards. I did predict WR, however.

Who did you have in mind?

Forgot about him. I am not in april shape.

I had the same thought--there are 4-5 Tigers they could use--DT, Edge, RT, (I don't want to say QB, but) QB. Tex AM seems solid in areas of need. Last week I might have said Oregon. Of course, Ohio State's entire roster will be drafted before 19...but if one falls....

so where do you scholars go for your draft info? I don't really read much more than you guys because other sources know less than we do---I can say that I think a few of these draft gurus have some inside info, but nothing great. I used to talk to Brandon Bean-we are both from Stanly County (both knew each other from S Stanly High)-but he would basically share his opinion and it did not usually match Hurney's views. He did tell me that MH followed the coaches recommendations for the most part--and Richardson would ask questions about the prospects he liked but would never tell anyone who to take. Thats about it. Point? If they trust you with the information, you can guess with more accuracy.
