With so few blue chip prospects, want 1 off this list!

There isn't 1 player where teams would be willing to give up additional picks, outside maybe the QB's.
You would be surprised; just look at the last few drafts. More than just QBs got a pretty good haul when picks are concerned

and this year, when to be blunt the QB class is pretty weak, teams will put more value on other positions

I don't really care about their stats to be honest, especially for linemen. I watch tape. No idea what either player's sack or pressure numbers are.
In the year 2024 there’s a ton of great data out there to help in evaluating players but to each their own.

Harmon is right up there with Graham if not ahead in just about every stat that matters for DTs and I’ve seen nothing on Nolen that would make me feel good about taking him in the 1st.

Former 5 star so the potential is definitely there but the production hasn’t matched.

OK just saw he’s got a 90 PFF grade against the run and 20+ % pass rusher win rate for true pass rush sets so I should give him more credit…but still got Harmon ahead. Def a good player!

Hunter, Carter,T-Mac, Graham, Jeanty, Burden, Harmon

In my opinion, these are the biggest impact players in the draft. As Dane mentioned, that sweet spot could around pick 8-12.
I think Nolan, Williams and Pearce alot too

I got Nolan a notch below Harmon. I think Harmon is the better player, and adds more versatility, but Nolan is also a potential game wrecker as well.

I think Harmon's ceiling in this draft is top 10. Nolans top 15

Full disclosure, I am a Boise state fan.

I want Jeanty if he’s there. To the people saying it’s a deep RB class..there is a huge drop off after Jeanty. A bigger drop off than there was between some of our other cute draft picks like Julius Jones instead of Steven Jackson. I’m sure you diehard fans can think about a few more examples.

We need a difference maker and that’s him. Jeanty has more yards after contact than any other rb has rushing yards. I’ve watched every game he’s played the last 2 years. I think if he’s there and we pass it will be similar to passing on Randy Moss. We will regret it. He’s that dominant, imho.

If he’s not there I would be happy with Graham, T Mac or Carter. But I think Jeanty is a better prospect than any of them.

With us picking likely around 8 at best, Jeanty is the only one from that list that'll be there imo. I'm perfectly fine with Jeanty in 1, but I do think Omarion Hampton is closer than you think.

I can understand fandom but bluntly speaking while there is a significant drop off from Jeanty it is not huge.
I have watched several games of his and until I see him do the same thing against a top D I will continue to think so

Jeanty is getting a lot of notice so I think its more than likely he will be gone before we pick

He did have 192 yards and 3 touchdowns vs Oregon. I respect your opinion though.

Oregon's D is kind of strange. They are up and down in the same game vs either the pass or run but they do a good job of keeping the score down except in the big games where everyone scores on them and frankly the O is what usually bails them out. Jeanty is special but this years RB class has a bunch of guys who can get the job done as a starter. There has been talk about who is second in this class Hampton or Johnson. I think Jeanty will go to the team that values RB more than others

Jeanty is a sure thing. That is what separates him and why he will be the only RB taken in the 1st. There will some great backs to come out this year, but it will be anybody's guess on which ones have a chance to be RB1. If we don't take Jeanty, I would take two of them to hedge my bets.
