Walker could be kicked to the inside...for real.

Dave told you that we ain't drafting in the first round for depth, so it's safe to say Freeling's value will be intact.

For me, it's only due to his hands. He's electric and twitchy as hell. I think the Bills might take him.

Yeah, I don't know see Moton going anywhere, unless he wants to chase a ring.

Don't fret. Deion Burks just may be the best slot in this draft, even above Concepcion.

Yeah, I know, but that was always just talk. At the end of the day, a quality safety isn't going to have the weight of a quality OT. There's an argument that Freeling will end up the best LT in the draft. I guess we'll see. Go Dawgs!

I'll be surprised if our next pick, if he is there, isn't Deion Burks.

I mean, who we picked was always going to be determined by what happened ahead of us.

I mean, there was an argument that he wouldn't fall to us.

Go Dawgs!

The economics don't say safety.

Decision time!

I'd be somewhat shocked

I am so glad they picked Styles because I damn sho didn't want him going to New Orleans

I predict lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Me? I will be laughing...because it will be entertaining. The only thing that may save us is a trade back for more pics. FYI: For those that don't know, the time limit for round 1 decisions has been shortened to 8 minutes. I figure we'll be able to hit the sack at least an hour earlier this year, or maybe pontificate, opine or even commiserate for that extra hour, depending upon your style and mood. I should be sleeping now, but I'm excited.

A Giants beat reporter suspects it may be Styles and Tyson in a perfect world. It sounds like Tyson is going to be one of those picks (probably the 10th pick) if he is on the board. Christen Miller will be their pick in round 2 if on the board.

Yeah, a non-premium position and pretty much expected day two pick. That would be foolish. Depending upon who wants to move up for whom, I'd be trying to swap picks in the first AND move up in the second, if not outright pick up a second.

Typo. Sorry. Deion Burks. My spell check wants to say Devin because that was my son's best friend (died in a motorcycle accident last month and we've been dealing with it a lot).

I mean, Haulcy did visit and is arguably a second round pick, so I fully expect it. On the other side of the coin, if we grab Thieneman in the first, Devin Burks is arguably a second round pick. I doubt Lemon falls to us, so I think between days one and two, it will be some type of combination of Concepcion, Thieneman, Haulcy and Burks.

No, what it says is teams are giving up on QBs way too early. Back when I was coming up QBs generally sat two or three years actually learning the position. You see, FOs and all involved were a lot smarter back then. On an off note, considering that there's approximately a 50 percent (more or less) hit rate for QBs in the first round, your math in reference to Darnold and Pickett is way off.

Sure it is, but is it enough to make a correct one?

I don't call the shots. No fan or analyst does. In case you forgot, I am very much a Bryce skeptic.

Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop. Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure. All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.
