The Myles Garrett interest is so obvious a blind man can see it. But Fournette and Foster I don't buy. For one Lynch continues to talk about the importance of character and Foster being sent home from the Combine is a huge red flag in character. Fournette, although probably the best power RB in the draft, I think Shanahan expects more from his RB's than just being elite between the tackles especially if he's spending the #2 overall pick.

So yah, I think it's Garrett or trade down but staying within the top 10.

We'll see.

But I can see Lynch explaining away Foster's character concerns. "Met with Reuben, heard his side, yadda yadda yadda...."

Agree on the trade down.

Myles was never dropping to us...this is the 2nd best scenario imo. They might have to roll back up to 2 to get Mitch if Hue really wants him

We got to sell that pick as if we got suitors wanting to move up for Mitch.

I'll take the 12th, 33rd, 104th, and their 1st next yr!

Would you rather have Garrett or all those picks?

Yes we shall see.

I could see if Foster was Patrick Willis 2.0 but IMO he's far from that.

Anyway, this has been a really good time speculating on prospects this year than last, especially now that Lynch and Shanahan are running the show!!!!

I can honestly say I'll be happy with whoever they will pick up.

Boy that's tough...I got nothing to go off of as far as how lynch and shanny draft. If it was baalke I'd say Myles lol. But three picks in the top 34, 3 4ths, and two 1sts given to the right GM could change your whole team in a matter of two seasons.

I agreed with you the bold.

Oh no, you don't get to flip Maddog. I distinctly remember you saying a month ago that you were convinced that a QB was going number one overall.


Caught me.... . Surprised that neither Trubisky, nor Watson, had a lights-out Pro Day. Guys should ace this moment, but nobody really stepped up to the plate. Opens the door for a Mahomes, who had a solid Pro Day to jump into the mix.

Still could see a QB go number one, but the odds look longer by the day.


Me personally, I think Trubisky will be the first QB off the board and I don't think Mahomes makes it past the Cards. So I'm predicting atleast two qbs go in the top 13.

I see three in the top 12 picks: Trubisky at 6, Mahomes at 7, Watson at 12.

^^^ Getting those picks would be perfect.

Those slottings make a lot of sense MD.

Jets try, again, to get the QB.

Chargers get a gunslinger in training behind Rivers.

And the Browns draft another bust QB.

Yup if they want their qb it's gonna cost them...that actually would be a steal based on what teams have given up in the past to move up for a qb.
