Mitchell / Wiggins are currently ranked 15/16th on the consensus big board…if that caliber of player is available at 24 I’m making the pick.

I like the idea of trading back to add
some more darts but not at the expense of passing on a top 15ish talent.

I saw Quinyon MItchell there and was like....uhhhhhhhh. Would be hard for me to trade down.

I know how much some posters love Corners in the 1st round.

Yea…just too highly ranked of players to pass on.

Could be that Mitchell will go much higher, he had a big jump because of his Senior Day performance; almost to much of a jump all at once.
Who drafted above 24 in this scenario do you think should have fallen below 24?
It could play out somewhat like this, if teams feel that D-line and O-line is more top heavy and CB's stretch in this draft.

The deepest positions are the ones that stretch…this year it’s OL so that position will likely be the one that provides you the most value outside of the 1st.

If you go by the Consensus Big Board in the top 100 and count the players I haven't drafted from above. There are 15 CB/S, 15 DT/DE and only 10 C/G/T's left. A lot of the DT's and DE's are ranked a little high for my taste.

I wouldn't have a problem if the Cowboys stayed at 24 and took Mitchell as long as they had a plan for Center.
