Lotta people are not thinking offense. I am not, but there are some defensive players later and the offensive players in the first beginning around 8 are going to be good. Moton's knee situation could change how they look at it.

He is probably one now. Players do come out early for the money, and you can argue that a first round selection makes you rich, but a second contract makes you richer--and the difference between #8 and #28 is a lot. However, I will bet that 6 QBs go in round 1 next year, so maybe this is the year for him.

So what you are saying is--these clowns stole our idea!!! It makes sense. If I am the Giants, I might trade with Cleveland to assure that I get Hunter---If Cleveland is interested in Carter or Hunter, they get Carter and a fourth rounder. Hunter is a much better fit in NY. It was interesting that the Browns were dining Carter when Stefanski was away watching Dart. Cleveland has to add a QB of some sort, and I have not heard the Cousins rumor much lately. Trading with the Giants would give the Browns more draft capital to move back up for Dart if they think he will not be there at 33. Seriously, I need to watch more of stuff like this. I have not been doing much more than mocking and reading a few blogs by fans of teams piking before us.

I am not a Franklin fan--he was good on special teams, but he was nearly out of control with his mouth and antics. Good riddance.

I am still reading some Giant forums where these crystal meth addicts feel that the Giants will be taking a Colorado player at #3. I just do not see it. Wilson is their bridge and Winston behind him is a pretty good, short-term situation. Personally, I think Daboll is a good coach and I think Schoen is the problem--along with injuries.

He was a rhule guy and I recall him talking smack and getting a penalty or two on special teams. Stay in your lane. Nobody cares if a gunner is pissed off. Apparently, the panthers are going to more energy into the S position this year. I am excited about it.

Of course, McShay is suggesting that they would not have invited Milroe unless a GM confidentially indicated that they would probably draft him. They would not anticipate a trade. Who would like him? Pittsburgh at 21? The Rams at 26? Neither team has a second rounder.

Good job, BH--this takes time and intelligence. It seems you had at least one of them here You and I are pretty close--and that should scare you a bit.

If the Panthers are on the clock and Sanders is in the green room, probably fuming with his daddy, does Pittsburgh call? (They do not have a second rounder). Does Cleveland attempt to move back up and grab a QB? It would cost them 33, 67, 94 and a 2026 second rounder. Or do you take Jalon Walker?

I just decided to think this with my brain: If Cleveland takes Hunter, the Giants would obviously take Sanders or trade. Why? Abdul Carter would be the third DE (Thib, Burns, and Carter) while they have a need at DT and G and the secondary is a bit suspect. This is Sanders' best hope of going third--but remember,the Giants have W QBs Wilson and Winston. Next year's draft at QB is unreal. So take a guy at #3 or build around Wilson? Still, you do not take Carter. I am guessing they trade out or take Graham. If Cleveland takes Carter to play opposite Garrett, they would be awesome, but they have another W QB, Watson and Kenny Pickett. Yikes. Coach Stefanski is not a threat to win Mayor of Cleveland right now, so we shall see how patient they are with him. A desperate GM and Coach would take Sanders. If their plan is given an endorsement from the owner, they will trade back. With Carter on the board, that trade would happen. If the Browns take Carter, the Giants take Hunter and play him in their weak secondary and give Nabors a friend on offense at times.

I think jaden daniels has helped Ward and Sanders, Anthony Richardson has hurt Milroe. I also think (since i am stereotyping) that Bo Nix is helping Dart. Ward, I see it. Sanders, I question it. Milroe, I doubt it. Dart, I doubt it.

You know, taking a QB this year (to be the starter) means you are likely not drafting one in 2026. It seems teams like the Colts, Giants, Raiders, Saints, Steelers (possibly) are positioning themselves to take a QB next year. I don't know what Cleveland is doing--Pickett? Stephanski can't assume he has 2 years to turn it around. I do have a brother in law who lives in Columbus--a chiropractor and OSU grad, and he tells me that people were talking about Howard to the Browns in round 2 or so, but that is when everyone was giddy about winning the title.

I also like Rourke from above. Now, I am not talking about the next franchise messiah--I am talking about a guy you can develop as your 3rd qb and protect him on the PS.

I am in the minority, but I think there are some developmental QBs in this draft that will be, quite possibly, better than the top 4 (Ward, Sanders, Dart, Milroe) IN THE LONG TERM. They will get to sit and learn. Many were improving and posted stats equal to or better than than the top 4. From this list, I am fans of Howard, Ewers, and McCord. Keep in mind that I am Terrible at picking QB talent in college for the NFL---but Will Howard is going to help someone. McCord will help someone. Ewers is probably a career backup, but he can play.

Then they will load the shed with weapons and protection this year---and watch Daniel Jones step up and become a Geno Smith---called it.

I think Richardson is a joke--I did not like him coming out of college--way over drafted--maybe developmental, but not a day 1 starter....Daniel Jones can play if given tools and time--so that may be the best play

Explain to me why nobody is talking about the Colts taking a QB---am I missing something? Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones, and QB/WR Jason Bean. If I am the Colts, I get a QB and if Sanders drops past 7 or so, the decision just got easier.

Hold up--

if a QB is involved, I am fairly sure you could get the second--or maybe a second next year or better. I can't understand why the Colts are not being mentioned in any of the QB rumors I have heard. Pittsburgh (if they get Rodgers) , NO, Giants--they have better QBs than Indy...

I realize that he is a WCU player and WCU is a pipleine for Panther talent (players: Hoover; Coaches: Rhule) but what makes this guy any different from any other mid major 6-9 player?

Where the hell have you been, Scot? Don't come back on here dropping info bombs like you have not been silent for months (to the best of my knowledge). Hope you are well--glad to have you back.

Reddick was the first comparison that came to my mind. I am against him at 8, but not later.

Basically, you are talking about taking a situational pass rusher at #8--not good value. Better to wait and take a player like Powell-Ryland---he "used smart hands and a diversified rush plan to accumulate 25.5 sacks over the last two seasons. He lacks length and speed but creates pressures by remaining varied and unpredictable. He uses accurate, violent hands to eliminate the punch and kick-start his bull rush. Powell-Ryland plays with a sturdy base and good leverage at the point, but he’s unlikely to control the edge. NFL length will limit his early wins, so he’ll need to keep developing his counters. The production is hard to ignore but modest traits and average athleticism will make it tough for his numbers to translate to the next level." If he busts, you lose a fourth or fifth rounder, not a first rounder. However, with so many other edges--most of which are always gambles going from college to pros--who are more than 1 trick ponies.

Thanks for sharing. Appreciated.
