I am panicking. I dream of getting the first pick. We have a good chance to get it.
1st pick will be difficult, our roster still has a lot of talent. However, our schedule remains very difficult, outside Giants/Panthers not many winnable games remaining.

I recently listened to Broaddus on with Voch discussing the top 10 picks, he likes what he sees, which bodes well for us!

I just saw Jeanty. Wow!!!! He reminds me of young Emmit with more speed. To me unless you are Adrian Peterson, a running back is not an elite prospect. I got Hunter, the two Michigan kids (defensive tackle/corner) McMillan, and Micah Jr. as elite blue chip prospects so far. We desperately need to lose out and hope the quarterbacks pop so we can trade down. Very disappointed in the Georgia and Texas quarterbacks. They physically fit the quarterback prototype. I thought one of them would have went a #1.

Got to get into the top 2 to get those juicy trade down scenarios. Hunter is my favorite of the non-QB's thus far.

Hunter would give us an elite secondary, Carter would give us an elite pass rush, and McMillan would give us an elite receiving core. We need to lose out. Especially if we can trade down and get a blue chip talent with extra picks.

We are well aware that the team has needs across the board, if you had to prioritize the top 3 needs, what would they be?

1) DT-Osa is a fa and undersized. Mazi hasn't produced much in 1.5 seasons. We could make an argument that team needs multiple DT's.
2) WR-Cooks isn't expected to be resigned. Tolbert, Brooks, Flounoy, Mingo have yet to prove to be anything more than a 4/5 type of receiver.
3) RB-Dowdle is a career backup #3 type of RB, Zeke/Cooks might be both washed. Like DT, you can add 2 to this positional group.
QB, DT, RB

We really need to fix our run game and run defense, before all these skilled, positional players. Graham makes the most sense, he is good against the run and can rush the passer. Heard Broaddus say he might not be as good as Carter or Q. Williams, but he is very good. Very high floor player.

We need to take the BPA. Graham is a blue chipper no doubt but the fact that he is not Q. Williams or Carter makes me think he is more of a trade down candidate. We are more than one draft away from being a Super Bowl threat. Stopping the run and running the football is important but we need skill players in the worst way. You gotta show me your plan with Graham because if he starts out slow there will be hell to pay. Would Mason next to Mazi work for both guys?

Rookie DTs usually aren’t good…

I like Graham as a prospect and he’s a great option but he’s not fixing our run defense in year 1. Might take him 2/3 years to reach that potential.

Agree with BPA (outside of RB) in the 1st.

He is an impact player at a need position. Needs a little technical work, but he has the strength right now to be effective.

Jeanty is impressive. I was stunned how good he looks but I agree I will break my television if Jerry drafts him in the top 12.

Is he JJ Watt? That is the only way you could talk Jerry into drafting him. Carter is Micah, Hunter is Deion, and McMillan could be Moss. I don’t know you can get Jerry to take Mason in the top of the draft.

1---- Real GM
2---- Real GM
3---- Real GM

until this happen, doesn't matter because it has not worked for 30 years

Oh he’s a stud for sure…he might have the best contact balance I remember seeing over the last decade or so. That being said he’s listed at 5’9 so might come in at 5’8 at the combine. That’s going to limit him in pass pro and receiving ability. Exceptional runner…not blue chip or generational IMO. That’s reserved for the likes of AP, Saquon etc…

Yes, similar player as he can play anywhere along the DL.
