I was honestly kind of frustrated with trading down so late in the draft. Obviously they are the ones that know best, I just saw so many prospects that I liked. I just don’t understand gambling and trading down when there is someone you like on the board. I guess they won’t admit how many times the gamble didn’t pay off. I think it’s great to look at it as a numbers game, but it’s so likely that most of these players won’t work out. I kind of wish they tried to get who they wanted at the top of the draft vs just going with quantity over quality. I’m looking forward to this being the best draft class ever, just feels different I guess.

I love it lol

I really want Jordan Smith, the edge from UAB

Sad the Raiders got Deablo but love the Tremble pick

Darnold or a rookie QB might fail, our OC is probably gone next season so maybe it’s easier to invest and build the defense next season. It’s not like we won’t have the option to trade up next season if we do a little better.

This kept happening to me every time I did a mock draft. I kept drafting Horn and Samuel Jr, then I really loved Jordan Smith or Nick Bolton in the 3rd. Around the 4th you could try to nab Devine Deablo or this safety from LSU as Kam Chancellor type. Maybe Monty Rice in the 5th? The small safety from TCU? He seems like a beast. I think Spencer Brown or one of the centers could be a good pick in the 2nd

I’m glad that we only have to worry about trading down to the 2nd vs almost trading a future #1 overall for Jimmy Clausen ever again

Can’t Rhule out another defensive pick, honestly I’m all about it.

Richie Grant Asante Samuel Jr That small school center that impressed at the Sr Bowl that offensive tackle from northern Iowa Honestly hope we draft heavy on defense again lol, I just want a part of the team to be strong and reliable. I want a cohesive unit.

It was elite enough to shut out the Lions! But they were throwing the game to nab Sewell probably

I would think they tried considering the clock ticked down that far

Which is pretty wild, Davis looked lost on a better defense in his first game.

Newton and Vick have got to be way up there.

Devine Deablo is physically impressive safety who impressed in the senior bowl so I can see us being all of him in the later rounds etc. There’s a CB from Boise State that is a legit returner. a 6’4” CB/Safety from USC Israel Mukuamu the CB from app state

I don’t even think we like Darnold that much, we’re just in an awkward state. We’re a year away and an 8-8 team regardless of what happens. Better to keep acquiring talent than to take shot on a QB.

It’s a cool idea for sure

One thing I don’t like is how our OC is projected to leave for a HC job next season. So where does that leave Darnold again?

I like Jordan Smith in the bottom of the 3rd if we end up having a pick around there

Yeah I’d rather go after the natural LTs and keep Moton at RT unless they think he can really succeed over there.

Wouldnt be mad this at all. I’ve drank the koolaide this year on the top CBs and O line so I really hope we come away with some top talent there. I think Jenkins will end up being RT or guard only, and I base that on absolutely nothing

Trading down to the bottom of the 1st seems really appealing, we could really load up on OT or CB this way. I’d love to see us double dip for immediate improvement like they did in 2013 with Star/KK

Still playing around with what a major trade down would look like. Used PFN sim, traded for the Ravens 1st rounders and a future, 2nd rounder used 2nd and future 2nd to trade with jags. 27. Samuel Cosmi OT Texas 31. Creed Humphrey OC Oklahoma 33. Kelvin Joseph CB Kentucky 73. Jordan Smith EDGE UAB 113. D'Ante Smith OT East Carolina 151. Divine Deablo S Virginia Tech 193. Shemar Jean-Charles CB Appalachian State 222. Israel Mukuamu S South Carolina

I’m bored and playing around

I think it’s pretty likely, I feel like the senior bowl standouts are almost like the “2nd visit” category from the Gettleman years.

If we drafted a tackle at 8 I honestly wouldn’t mind trading back into the first(using current picks) for some of the last top tier CBs or o line
