I forgot about Ivey. We are, at least on paper for now, stronger on the OL than we were last year, and that means LT and LG. I think this draft is terrible for DTs, but I think the OTs are incredible. In addition, I want a stud WR because we are not as set as it seems at WR, contractually. I am really anxious to see what Elflein does because I think he might be decent to good. LT is still a concern---which is why we go there early.

Here is a rumor that is based on truth: The Patriots have been doing a ton of research on Kellen Mond. Discuss. 15? I think so. second round if not 15. Popcorn.

If we draft Sewell, we have to go CB and WR next---don't we? You could argue that S is a bigger need that CB now?

Lotta teams need a good backup, and Teddy is that. Tampa Bay? Pittsburgh? New England if they dont get Mond at 15 like I think they are? Miami? Detroit? I could go on

Say what you want about Smith, but they make a good cup of coffee there.

MORE therapy in my case. I had Atlanta trading back and drafting Mills in the second round. Perfect spot behind Ryan. Brady is another good spot for him.

I posted my mock yesterday and we have some similarities. Great minds? Get therapy? You will go either way on that one- My bold prediction: Mond at 15. I also had Asante Sam at 29, i think.

Listen buddy, I was in the zone! I can't explain it. It is like being possessed! (I was predicting, not GMing---would miami move back if they saw Jones go to SF and a trade up with Atlanta and then Chase going Bengals? maybe. Its fluid and complicated. I was just trying to put together what fans were saying on different boards and needs assessments---and I wanted to engineer some trades. I am SO waiting for your mock, Old Ham.!!

I tend to go back and look at what they said about players in the 2018 draft, for example. Not that they are any smarter at identifying talent that GMs and scouts--and they blow it in round 1 about 47% of the time, so who knows? The best thing for me to do is read multiple sources and find similarities. Some are patterns, some are parroted comments from social media. Hard to say--

I am not either, but I bet the man that paid him $10m for 2 years might think differently. Still, this is a solid OT draft, so we are dumb not to get one.

Lotta this is what I have been saying. You have to read the tea leaves--although i think they are hoping Darnold is the guy, and I think he will be better.

If I am Teddy, I laugh out loud, sit on the bench or get cut---and brag about how I played 15 games and got paid $40m.

Harris has met with: #Titans, #Patriots, #Cardinals, #49ers, #Texans, #Panthers, #Giants, #Jets, #Rams & #RaidersNot surprising to see the Cards on the list

That is good news. I really have not looked to see about him---did not know what we have.

You will laugh, you will cry. You will call a friend to spread the news. But MHS has figured it out. He's in the know, even when referring to himself in 3rd person and using a fake name. Picks 3-5 tell the story of this draft, so I did some research on those message boards to see what is trending. Here is what I know: Everyone is projecting Fields to SF, it seems, but Jones is going to SF (I am about 75% sure, so bet the mortgage on that baby) Atlanta really likes Pitts and will do what they can to take him, yet they want a QB and want to trade back as well. So how do you trade back, get a QB, and draft Pitts? I show you how they will do it. (Spoiler Alert: They trade back with Denver to 9 so the Broncos can get Fields, then back up with Detroit at 7). Cincinnati is going Chase, WR, and they will count on the OT depth to get the T they need after they get the player their QB wants. Remember, the WFT wants a QB and they have a coach who won every other year with a franchise QB--so he will be begging for a QB. Lance, the man they love, is the next QB available, and they gotta move after Atlanta deals with Denver. Hurney does what his coach says. They will pounce. I show you how. (hint: Dolphins keep acquiring draft capital). Detroit is desperate for a WR, and Goff needs a target. They love Waddle, and with Chase gone, they can move back to 9 and get Waddle, Smith Jr, or a T at 9 while adding a third rounder. They do it, leaving Sewell on the table for the Panthers. SECOND ROUND: This pick may startle some of you into gasping. Some may frolic. Others may puff into a paper bag. I have not read any mentioning of this weapon, but if you want that slot WR, he would be a good un. THIRD ROUND: A CB with Size and a lot of upside, Rhule got to see him at the SR Bowl. Think about Evans and Jones--the big WRs we can't stop. Now we can. BALLSY PICKS: New England takes QB Kellen Mond at 15. Green Bay takes CB Asante Samuel Jr at 29. Falcons take QB Davis Mills in second round at 35. # Team Draft Pick COMMENTS 1. Jaguars Trevor Lawrence QB, Clemson Yawn. 2.

SR Bowl standout.

nearly 20 pages and he is still a Panther. Great balls of goober grease.

Not sure, but it looks like he is older than before.

I agree and thank you. I guess the question is: Are Waddle, Smith, and Chase THAT good? Would they make this offense unstoppable? I read a post on another site about Darnold and the need for a slot: He has never been able to change plays at the LOS or call hot routes. If the Panthers want to turn him loose, we need a slot that is a game breaker. A slot that can run the slant, a slot that the defense gives a 10-yard cushion. A hot route runner that keeps the S honest and works the middle as well as the sidelines-a player that stretches the secondary...." (paraphrasing). I dunno. I am like everyone else--get the elite T. If you wait for round 2 and there has been a run on OTs, we could be in the Greg Little situation again.

That is my point too. If Sewell is there? No thinking required. If Slater and Waddle are on the board? It could get interesting.

Darnold lack of success = Brady leaving

Your suggestions would indeed improve this. Thanks bro

Don't get me wrong, NAS, I love Pitts. I just think position value comes into play. HOWEVER--there is depth at T this year, so we could meet both needs. Another thing we do not factor in is a player's dispositions. Attitude, work ethic, etc.

Nice. Motivation and rewards. The same stuff that made Pavlov's dogs salivate when they heard the bell.
