Cross or Neal at this point. If we trade back with like the Eagles and get their second first then I could see is taking Pickett with one of the picks.

Smokescreen season boys.

Sign me up. The kid learned how to get on an island and protect the QB under Mike Leach’s air raid. Having a sub par rookie behind a bad line is a recipe for disaster. Build the trenches first and we’ll be in a much better position to compete for years to come.

If Neal, Ickey, Pickett, Sauce and Hutchison are off the board I could see us getting Thibs. The kids a beast.

Source?

This thread shows exactly why we shouldn’t draft him until maybe the 4th round.

He's going to get a lot of penalties in the NFL if he tries to pull the poo he did during Senior Bowl week. He kind of reminds me of Garrett Bolles in Denver - just really aggressive to a fault. I'd much rather have the top 3. Charles Cross from Miss. State is growing on me as someone who I'd feel comfortable if we pick him at 6.

I think within the top 10 the wild cards are us and Houston. We both suck, don't have a franchise QB (Mills tbd) and we have needs in a lot of positions. I would love to trade down, but I don't see anyone trading up this year.

I put my hands up in disbelief that we picked a linebacker in 2012. We had TD and Beason, there was no reason for us to pick Luke how-do-you-pronounce-his-name? We've spent a first rounder 3 times within the last decade. We just got off a rough season, but Cam showed promise winning OROY. Smitty was past his prime and we needed another weapon to help alleviate Smash & Dash. Drew Brees was lighting us and everyone else up that year and we had to keep up surely. Again, how do you pronounce this dude's name? Man, was I just oblivious that we selected hands down a truly generational player. Luke was and still is a different breed. I may have cried a bit when I was out to dinner and saw across the screen that Luke retired. fug.. Anyways that's my rant.

I agree that Thibs isn’t a bad choice at 6. If we get screwed in that 2nd scenario I’d prefer Travon Walker. I think he’d have a bigger impact than Sauce year 1/2.

How much do you think the chain guys make a year and how do I get that job?

I just don’t think any of these QBs make our team any better than Sam Darnold this year, so why try to force the issue? The best bet, as Fitt has alluded to, is fortify the offensive and defensive lines and prepare for the futur.

I had a family member struck and killed by a car, so this is uh definitely brings back a lot of unwanted memories and emotions. I hope Haskins didn’t suffer and too that his family eventually comes to peace with his sudden passing. RIP.

Dov is not even a legitimate reporter. He is some random Russian that just retweets poo from the actual insiders.

Everyone is looking to trade back. There are no elite QBs and the top two rated players at tackle/edge/corner are all debatable, so teams feel as if they can get a playmaker and another pick. I don’t see anyone worthy of trading up. Everyone (except us of course) is seemingly set at QB.

All we’ve heard about the QBs up until their pro days is that none of them have first round grades and they should all sit at least a year before they get meaningful snaps. For that reason alone I prefer we either stick with The Darnold or get Baker/Garrapolo on a 1 year contract.

This is a special time of the year that we can celebrate everyday, but especially today. Let’s take this time to remind ourselves that the Falcons blew a 28-3 lead over the Patriots.

That’s why we got Fitt in there making all the decisions this time around.

Here’s my issue with bringing Cam back: he is done. He’ll never be (as much as it pains me) what he was from 2013-2017. If he’s on the roster people will call for him to start even though we know he’s not it. Now comes Darnold. He’s not the answer?. But we might not be bad enough for pick 1 or 2 next year.

1. Accuracy 2. Ability to read the defense 3. Poise in the pocket

If we're going to sign an offensive tackle in free agency, I actually agree with Kiper. Travon Walker may come out to be the best edge rusher in this draft and he will give us another book end defensive end across from Brian Burns. We're losing a lot of production with Reddick leaving for Philly and I don't think YGM is the long-term answer at DE. With Ickey and Neal potentially gone before pick #6, we need to choose the player that gives us the best potential for our future and it may possibly be Walker out of Georgia.
