Notice all the TE's, there is now way they all go that high, 1-2 might be bargain picks in rd 2.

The more tape I watch, the more I think we are in the sweet spot of the draft. There are lots of good players to be had around the Rd 1-2 turn. OTOH, it's a very weak class up top. Carter and Anderson are both blue-chip world destroyers, but then the dropoff from them to say Tyree Wilson or Peter Skorensi is about as severe as I can remember seeing.

But yeah, basically everyone on Dane's list above gets my good football player seal of approval. A few are traits-based gambles, but the majority were both very productive in college and fairly athletic.

I'm leaning toward Mayer. They need a receiver, but I don't see one better than Mayer. That gives them a monster in the passing game and gives them a blocker as well for the running game.

I would take Kincaid ,a TE with that kind of YAC ability will take our offense to the next level.

Give me Torrence........he's likely the No.1 or 2 true G in the draft. This secures the left side of OLine for the next 5-6 years.
That could be good also. They for sure need a guard from somewhere. Maybe free agency and then draft Mayer which supports the pass and the run.

I know my guy WillieBeamon loves him some JNS, but I just don’t think he makes sense at #26. CeeDee is most effective out of the slot and you’d be bringing in a guy that most assuredly is slot only. If you we go WR early I’d be looking Hyatt because of the speed dimension which is what we glaringly lack right now.

If we’re going to nab a smaller reciever or slot type, I’d target Zay Flowers early or P. Washington from Penn State in R3.

Torrance is a bad man. At first I thought people were all over him just because he's comically big, but the guy really can block too.

His one-game resume IMO was vs Georgia and Jalen Carter. I'm not going to say he won, but he held his own, against maybe the best college DT since Ndamukong Suh. Half the dudes in the NFL aren't that good, so Torrance looks ready.

Broaddus isn't really high on Torrence. Says he's top-heavy and limited athletically.

Musgrave is like a unicorn. He looked like Travis Kelce at Senior Bowl practices and drills. Crazy #'s at 6'6" 250 lbs: 4.51 40-yard dash, 36.5″ vertical, 10’2″ broad jump, 4.21 agility time. The injury and the fact that he only had 47 catchs and only played in 34 games over 4 years at Oregon State has me waiting for the other shoe to drop. But as far as the eyeball test? He looks legit.

Mayer would probably catch a ton of balls from Dak. He's also a plus plus in the run game (82.1 PFF grade as a run blocker).

I've seen a lot of Kincaid; he personally sonned my Trojans this year for my lovely visit to Salt Lake City. He's very, very solid. I'm not seeing the juice I want to see from a 1st rounder.

I want no part of Kancey BUT I could see Dan Quinn seeing a little bit of Grady Jarrett in him.

Agree on JSN.

Flowers is one of my favorite targets at 26. He’s a little smaller, but he can do it all and I think he has enough tape winning outside where he’s not slot only.

Flowers is more polished than Hyatt, but Hyatt would give us an element of speed we haven’t had since…as long as I can remember. He’d open things up for us underneath and CBs could no longer just sit on comeback routes like they did last year. Hyatt has been getting mocked in the 2nd but zero chance he drops that far.

I’d be happy with either Flowers or Hyatt at 26…even if we make a trade / FA. I’m skeptical of OBJ, but if healthy, could you imagine trotting out OBJ, Lamb and Hyatt next year?

Ewwwwwwwwiiiiiiiiiiy!

If I am taking Kincaid over Mayer, Kincaid has to be an explosive type TE like a Kelce, etc. If he's not, then I'll take Mayer who can block and is a big target with great hands.

Mayer makes a lot of sense. Get a guard in free agency. Draft a back. Get a receiver from somewhere. Get a corner from somewhere and get a dtackle from somewhere.

I really want to draft one of these top 5 TE's, hopefully one slips to our 2nd rd pick.
