So the @Titans have respectfully cancelled private workouts with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders, making it all but official they will take Cam Ward No. 1. And now I’m starting to hear more and more about Hunter to Cleveland at No. 2. That would mean Abdul Carter vs. Shedeur Show more

My clued in Giants fan Buddy says #3 is Carter's floor. If he's there they're taking him.

I don’t want our FO to have any reason to even consider trading up. Since there’s no chance he gets to 8, hopefully the Giants grab him #3 quickly and we stay put

Carter to 3, would cause the trade calls to light up. I don't see giants and Carter a match. They already have too much invested at edge. 

 

The gamblers called this days ago. 

 

It still feels like ward, Carter, and hunter will be the first 3 picks.

Past week of consensus mocks.

It seems the only way we don't draft Walker is if Graham somehow falls.  Outside of that, might as well FedEx that man a Panthers jersey now.

Well, there's always the chance that Walker goes before us. I don't expect it but I wouldn't be completely shocked either.

Walker going before #8 will not happen, 99.99% sure of it.  I would be completely shocked.  Then again I would love it because that would mean someone else would fall.

*Edit: I went to see where Walker was selected in 350 professional mocks (back to mid February) going higher than #8 and it was RARE.  The few instances I found were older and a few time to the Jags, Raiders and Jets each.

Do the Raiders now have adults in the room or are they and the Jets both wildcards?

Raiders are the only wildcard.  Jets are going Warren or OT BPA with an outside chance of Tet.  They are drafting someone to help out the QB, period, either in pass pro or a receiving outlet. Raiders are looking hard at Jeanty, but no telling what they do.

The OTs and Sanders are the big wildcards IMO.

I would be fine with Jalon Walker at 8 in that scenario but would hope we get some good offers to trade back for teams wanting Sanders, Tet, or Warren.

There will be an early run on OTs, IMO.  Sanders falls.  How far?  How about I'm seeing recent mocks having the Steelers drafting Dart at #21 WITH Sanders still on the board.  I'm telling you, I saw just some snippets of Sanders Pro Day and it looked like he was throwing a medicine ball instead of a football.  Very little zip and the ball looked oversized/cumbersome to throw.

I'm not sold on Walker.  I don't dislike the kid, but I think #8 is too high for him.
