Barron can play big nickel, FS and outside. Just depends on what teams think he is. Could be a roamer type and fit a team like LAR or MIN. Could go as high as LVR if they don’t land Jeanty, as low as late R1 IMO

When I heard the evaluator call him a safety I did a double take. I hadn't even considered the position shift in the nfl.

He floated back there a few times for Texas I think.  Think he could be a slot & outside guy matchup dependent.  Envision a jacked up Mike Sainristil, a bit more capable on the outside.   Arguably the best defensive playmaker - really interesting player.

Jeanty to the Jaguars is starting to pick up legitimate steam.  Vegas odds have dramatically increased, Brugler and a few others have switched him as their JAX choice at 5.  

Etienne was injured a lot last year and is only one year removed from a 1,000 yd season and they also have Tank Bigsby looking pretty good.  I feel pretty confident they take Mason Graham. I also like Carrol and the Raiders to take Jeanty.  Trading away our second round pick is going to sting because there is a huge difference between 39 and 57 where the former could land you one of the stud edges who fall (Green, Pearce, Ezeiruaku) and the latter would land you good not great prospects like (Landon Jackson, Tuimalao, or Princely).  I am ok with drafting bpa with the first pick rather than reach for Williams though.

Some interesting Shough rumblings:

Random,  if the Giants do take Carter... and try to trade Kayvon...  I would think about it. If Sanders gets to 8 and they want to trade up from 3(I know that's far) by adding Kayvon and pick swaps in next couple rds and a future 1st or 2nd maybe... Id be game. They pick at the top of each rd, so we'd get talent spill over, a pass rusher with yout/ skill and still have that 34 pick to get a wr etc.

Saints (Have done a ton of work on Dart & Jihaad) - Not much Shedeur noise.

If they can’t trade down, they could just go for Campbell there, trade up for Dart into the back of 1/top of 2.

Mykel & Stewart are also their types.

For me the Top 8... or so is pretty much set

1. Ward

2. Hunter

3. Carter

4. Campbell

5. Graham

6. Membou

7. Warren

8. Walker

Raiders (No. 6) and Saints (No. 9) will be the true inflection points in this year's draft.

I don't understand how people view Milroe and Dart better than him. Those guys have lower floors than Anthony Richardson.

Have I mentioned lately how relieved I am as a human being, to care about neither Aaron Rodgers on the Pat McAfee show, nor where Tyler Shough might fall in somebody's mock draft?

For the first time since 2018-19, the Panthers are bringing the same coach/GM/QB back.

I think we all have the same sentiment.
