Draft is 2 Weeks Out/Predictions Thread

[davos]

So, the draft is two weeks away and I've honestly never seen this place care less haha.  But to the point of the thread, I ask of you 2 predictions:

What do we do at pick 6?

Who do we end up with at QB for 2022?

Me (not that I want it):

What do we do at pick 6? Trade back just a tad, draft Kenny Pickett

Who do we end up with at QB for 2022? Kenny Pickett

Well this definitely proved the lack of interest in this team right now lol

[Shocker]

Evan Neal at 6...Huddle rejoices

Well, except for those Huddlers that complain about everything

Well, they do suck, and I'm not going to say that this hasn't affected my relative disinterest to the draft lead-up, but I've had so many other things to concern myself with this off-season. Truth be told, I'm kinda glad that I haven't been all into it with baited breath because the waiting can drive you crazy. 

As always, I'll accept what comes, but I'm hoping for a trade down and Corral.

I don't predict a damn thing but a good player in the draft.

For our first pick I hope will be either Neal or Cross.

Oh man would I love Neal.  My wishlist as it stands:

1. Neal/Cross/Icky

2. Trade Down

3. Garrett Wilson

3. Willis/Pickett

I think a trade down positions us for Pickett if he drops to the spot, which these guys will do.  Not that I want him, but can totally see it.

The trade prediction is with BAL if Thibodaux (or Walker) is available at 6.  They're reportedly very interested in Thib and a lot of Ravens nation mocks trade ups to our range.  Should note they have 5 4th rounders.  I mean, talk about ammo.  Could even see them trade for Sauce (CB being a huge need and they always ID the top ones)

We get something like Pick 14, 45, & 110.  That positions us very nicely and we stay at the top of the draft.

I don't think we make a pick at #6. Fitts lives to trade down and lives to trade in general. We have a serious lack of overall draft capital having no day two picks. Add it all up and it screams trade down IMO.

I've read Pitt is in love with Willis, so my prediction.

Trade back with the steelers, and we draft Penning or Ridder/Corral/Howell.

 

Predicted starter to open the year: Darnold.

We trade pick 6 and move back a few spots, while picking up a 2nd. We go best DE at 10ish, and best LG in the 2nd.

 

Minshew will be our QB this year.

I think 20 just drops us too far where we don't get assurance if our top-12 big board guys are still there.  

We'd be in our second block on our draft charts.  They want to still land a guy in the top blocks with a trade down.

[kungfoodude]

We take a DE at 6.

Trade for Jimmy G.

This is the way.  Trade back.  Draft Pennington and Corral.  Darnold starts the opener but later this season, Corral takes over.

I think the Panthers are going to either take that tackle or edge rusher (since there are 6 elite players, one will be there) or they are trading back to the middle of the draft and taking Corral.

So I will say with precise uncertainty:

#6 Neal

OR

#15 or so: Corral and then Zion Johnson (G/C from BC) in round 2.   Corral has the quick release and is accurate.  He is a good athlete and can run the RPO.  Good fit in this offense.
