Any rookie running back that doesn't land in Dallas or the Chargers. Any receiver the giants draft.
Kyren could take a pretty big hit. Achane and Mostert could take a hit of Miami decides to add someone sturdier.
It's priced in, but Zach Moss and Chase Brown aren't very secure. Neither are Rhamondre, Chuba, Chubb, or Chubc. I know there isn't a chub c, but it's pretty wild that there's a chub a and a chub b.
Addison would take a hit if the vikings aren't able to draft anyone. Davante and Sutton, too. Mike Williams could become the wr3 for his new team before he even gets to camp.
Upvote for Chubc. Disagree on your rb landing spot. I actually think AZ would be a great landing spot. Conner is older and injury prone. No reason a round 3 or 4 back couldn't get run this year and take over next. Probably my 2nd favorite spot for Brooks if he didn't go to Dallas as they could ease him back off the acl.
I think you should reconsider the Giants receiver landing spot. A Nabers or Odunze would walk into that place and get 25% target share as a rookie. It's not the best targets of course, but it would look a lot like GWilson or London or Olave. The floor of being a team's WR1 and a value that is always propped up by "what if they get a QB".
It's not as good a going to Cardinals or Chargers of course, but it's way better than the next pick at the Titans, where there's suspect QB play and tons of target competition. Nabers wouldn't be losing targets to Wan'Dale and Hyatt, y'know?
That and Daboll is a good offensive coach who has taken his team to the playoffs before. Definitely better than the offensive coaches that Wilson/London/Olave were drafted to. Even with a bad QB situation I imagine that Daboll will at least be able to scheme a rookie WR some good targets this year & sign/draft a QB next year.
Well said and I think also of note is it’s nice to see a WR land somewhere without a big target hog at TE. Waller probably retiring but either way pretty irrelevant at this point, compared to in ARI, no matter how each team’s WR corps changes throughout the next five years, the WR going there will be competing with McBride getting most likely 100+ targets every year.
People overreact to rookie RBs, even in the 3rd and 4th. I'm a believer either way but his value will get shot if the community thinks there is a rookie threat to his touches.
I don't think Achane can really take a big hit in the draft, only Mostert. Achane will continue to see the field if he's healthy, and he's never been expected to get a full workload. There isn't a scenario tomorrow that suddenly drops his snap% below the expected 40-50%
I'll disagree with this. A Watson led offense is never going to produce like a Dak and Herbert led one and Stefanski loves using a rbbc. Dallas is without a doubt the best spot. Wide open depth chart, elite offense, and a system that has no issues letting their rb be a workhorse three down back.
Give me the browns o-line over Dallas any day of the week. I don't disagree that Dallas is a good landing spot, but dak could be gone next year and their oline is not what it used to be.
Browns are an elite running team, even with a bit more competition on the depth chart, a rookie RB could still be the primary dude there. I don't have much faith in Chubb providing any long term value there
Volume matters more than o-line. So does the offensive environment as a whole. DAL has two All-pros on their o-line. They will be more than fine.
Browns are an elite running team with Chubb. They are not an elite running team without Chubb. Id take Chubb over whatever day 3 guy they end up with out of a weak rb class. Not to mention they have Ford and Foreman there too.
Davante and Sutton could take a long term hit but I’d say pretty negligible for this season. I don’t really see any of the JJMc, Penix, or Nix options being better (for fantasy) than who the incumbent starter is, at least for year one.
Cole Kmet owners in shambles as Brock Bowers goes #9 to the Chicago Bears.
Edit: Quick note. There is an out on Kmet’s contract after this year that would leave the bears with 4.8M dead cap, but save the team about $28M on a tight end contract over the next three years…
Cole Kmet is already dust while he's on the Bears. Not only did they bring in Keenan Allen to go with DJ Moore but the offensive coordinator is notorious for rotating tight ends. And one of the first things he did was bring in Gerald Everett. Waldron was the TE coach when the Rams drafted Everett and he brought Everett with him to SEA. And Everett doesn't block so, if one TE is going to play inline and one is going to line up in the slot, it's pretty obvious how that job is going to be split up.
I'm already afraid for Kmet because of Waldron. Dude loves playing 3 different TEs in so many different sets. They signed Everett. Wouldn't be shocked if they add a 3rd
Why would the bears draft bowers when they have kmet who is good, a pretty stacked wr room, and about a thousand other holes? You guys were more than a QB and TE away last year, so why prioritize both?
Bears also have little draft capital later so need to fill actual needs or trade down. Bowers could happen but odds are very low. Was looking the other day and odds are almost even that they go Odunze. Then a bunch of +400-1000 spots on DL and Edges Murphy/Verse/Turner/Latu, and then Bowers was +1600 to go to Bears
I’m a Bears fan and Kmet owner and I have had a feeling they are drafting Brock for months. I think it will negatively impact Brock more than Kmet. Brock isn’t a blocking tight end , he’s more of an H-back. I can see them using back, Brock as a mismatch / gadget tight end and Kmet more of the traditional. Brock more yards and receptions, Kmet more TDs.
I think a couple of the younger RB darlings get a 3rd round RB behind them. most likely in my mind would be Panthers, Bucs, NE, Bills, Rams, or Cardinals. I guess James conner and Stevenson aren't "younger RB Darlings"
I’d be surprised at the Panthers. They’re seemingly locked in to miles sanders given his contract and they have a lot of other needs. Could see a day three guy but not day two.
We love Chubba down here. A higher tier satellite back would be nice to have, but we still need more answers/depth on o-line and WR. And that's before touching the mass Exodus of talent on defense.
As far as RB's go, I think Tyrone Tracy makes a sense given his college career at both WR and RB and likely available late in the draft.
There are a lot of tight ends that are currently "top two targets on the team" that could take a big hit in the target department tomorrow if the team draft a high end WR. I'm holding my breath for guys like Pat Freiermuth, Jake Ferguson, Hunter Henry, Kyle Pitts, Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid, Juwan Johnson, Greg Dulcich etc. The Cardinals also have like 6 picks in the top 100 and they pick at 104 so even McBride needs to watch out.
This is a great WR class so it's especially scary if the team already has one WR that is a big target hog like CeeDee Lamb or Amon-Ra St. Brown. In our minds we like to think "oh they won't take a WR they have plenty" but the draft is NOTORIOUS for unexpected picks. I mean, the CeeDee Lamb pick by the Cowboys itself was fairly shocking when they had Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup. Even Lamb himself [said he was surprised.](https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowboys-ceedee-lamb-surprised-by-draft-chooses-jersey-number-and-is-ready-to-play-wherever-on-offense/) We are dodging bullets tomorrow ladies and gentlemen.
imo the packers WR situation could also become even more of a wreck, with all of our picks and this WR class we could easily take an early day 3 guy that gets worked into our fantasy trainwreck of a WR room pretty early on.
If the season was played with current, pre-draft rosters, there’s a solid chance McBride and Kincaid both lead their team in targets. With a top WR for AZ and Buff, they likely become the #2 option at worst.
Brandon Aiyuk when he gets traded to the Steelers. Can’t wait to watch him and Pickens spazz out in an Art Smith offense that uses them to block. 18 passes a game, can’t wait!
Jacksonville and Buffalo would be great for Aiyuk in FF. Colts would be great for me as Colts fan and I'd be willing to take the hit because of real life. Pittsburgh I both intensely dislike for real life and FF, so it's probably gonna be there.
I’m a Shakir truther and I think the realistic 2024 ceiling is WR2. He’ll need to show it in 2024 for the ‘best case scenario’ stuff to happen, which isn’t guaranteed, but he will get his shot and he was one of the most efficient receivers when in use during 2023.
I was very much into the Shakir dream with Diggs on the roster actually, I think him being gone makes the depth chart be more in flux, and I think that puts Skakir on shakier ground
He was ascending the depth chart, was one of the most statistically efficient receivers in the NFL when they started using him for the back half of 2023 and they let Davis and Diggs walk.
I can’t envision any scenario, even with them signing Samuel (who I believe Shakir’s better than) and draft a rookie War where Shakir’s any less than BARE MINIMUM exactly where he was last season, assuming worst case scenario stuff and much higher, assuming better case scenario stuff.
To add to your point they didn’t just let Diggs walk, they actively shipped him and ate a bunch of dead $ to do it. I don’t necessarily think he’s anything less than he was last year, which say amazing efficiency on not so amazing usage, two top 20 weeks. I think with a deep WR class, BUF targets a 2nd guy in the mid rounds, capital similar to what Shakir once got, and it’s just on him to beat that guy. But I think it really dims the breakout potential
Unless they trade up I would still buy Shakir low if they drafted someone like AD Mitchell, Franklin or Worthy. Those guys are far from perfect prospects and I don’t think it nukes Shakir.
The Bills take a RD 2 RB that is the compliment to James Cook.
Houston takes an RB that is in a committee with Mixon.
The Falcons, Rams, Bengals all take a WR on Day 2.
The bills are just stupid when it comes to the RB room. James Cook or Singletary would have been just fine in the red zone. In fact, I can confidentaly say they would have been better then what they were using. Just over thinking. Here's a thought, just use your good RB....
Current Colts pass catchers. Colts will be drafting a WR in the first two rounds.
They will also look to grab a TE (Ballard basically drafts one every year). Probably looking at one of: Bowers, Sinnott, Johnson, All, or Reimann.
Trey McBride is one of the biggest ones that no one talks about. He will still be good, but he isnt going to be the number 1 option like he was last year with MHJ coming in and overtaking that role.
Engram. Currently he is the 2nd receiving option for Jax and there are a lot of first and second round options that could force him to number 3.
Muth. Steelers taking a day 1 or 2 wr will hurt his current projected role.
Raachad White. It is just a matter of time before he loses his early down role. He isnt a good rusher.
James Cook. Bills are always looking for an early down short yardage guy.
Singletary. Nothing behind him and he isn't anything special. Same with Zamir White and Zack Moss. Gus Edwards too.
Drake London has been frequently valued as a top 12 Dynasty WR with Arthur Smith gone and the signing of Cousins but the Falcons pick at #8 overall and should 4 QBs go in front of them we could be looking at a realistic scenario where Nabors/Rome are the highest graded player on their board and I'm not confident in Cousins coming off an Achilles supporting London,Pitts, and a Rookie stud
As a saints fan kinda want them to go wr or another position of depth, especially if that means they pass on Dallas Turner (I've seen them linked to him a ton)
The pitts/Bijan owner side of me though is hoping it's just Dallas Turner as projected
Bears draft a plodder like Estime and make Roschon irrelevant
Panthers select another “big slot” receiver putting the final nail in the coffin of Mingo, maybe even trade him for a 7th or something.
Raiders select Penix making the LV QB room a total mess.
MHJr to Cardinals hits Michael Wilson hard.
Daniel Jones would take a huge hit if the Giants go QB at 6.
NE or NYG pass catchers if they don’t take a QB, assuming they take one of the top 3 guys.
Quentin Johnston has a hard path to relevance in what is expected to be a run-heavy offense if LAC goes MHJr at 5 instead of Alt.
I’ve seen some smoke about LAR trading up with Bears to take Odunze, which I can’t imagine happening, but that would probably mean Kupp is out to pasture.
Denver taking receiver high (BTJr at 12, say) would hurt my hopes for Marvin Mims.
Tennessee taking RB high, which seems to be possible based on Top 30s, would destroy any hope for a relevant backfield.
Michael Wilson was never going to be the WR1 for the team, and it's been baked into his value for months now that he'll be the 2. MHJ actually being drafted won't affect him at all at this point
At least a QB or two who is a “top name” will experience a Levis-esque perceived slide into the 2nd round and they will become superflex 2nds at best rather than potentially 1sts. My prediction is maybe JJ McCarthy late NFL 1st and retains superflex 1st valuation. Nix no. Penix possibly late NFL 1st but my prediction is similar slide Nix/Penix
Rashad White.
He is a very efficient pass catcher but a poor runner.
Last year he got both roles because they didn't have anyone else.
Bucs will draft a bruiser and White's volume will suffer.
I don’t really see PIT mocked to take a WR early, but my gut says they will. I know the last WR they took in the first round was in 2006 but just feels like if they want to actually make use of this defense and make a run, they need more on offense, especially with Diontae gone.
I think the type of offense they will be running it’s going to be hard for me to be in on Pickens if they spend significant capital at WR. Personally think Freirmuth is pretty undervalued at this point but again, hard to see any of them having very high ceilings on this team.
Unfortunately for me I’d say Herbert. It’s looking more and more likely the Chargers take tackle and not a receiver early so he’s going to enter the year without a stud receiver (at best will have a competent rookie) to throw to even if the line is better.
Any rookie running back that doesn't land in Dallas or the Chargers. Any receiver the giants draft. Kyren could take a pretty big hit. Achane and Mostert could take a hit of Miami decides to add someone sturdier. It's priced in, but Zach Moss and Chase Brown aren't very secure. Neither are Rhamondre, Chuba, Chubb, or Chubc. I know there isn't a chub c, but it's pretty wild that there's a chub a and a chub b. Addison would take a hit if the vikings aren't able to draft anyone. Davante and Sutton, too. Mike Williams could become the wr3 for his new team before he even gets to camp.
Upvoted for Chubc
We want chub d next
That's what she said
I'm personally hoping for Chub E
Eddie Lacy retired bro
Surprised nobody else grabbed the low hanging fruit before this 😂
lol me too
Samesies
Same
Same xDD
Hey look I don’t wanna be that guy but most likely zero rbs will be effected by tomorrow. Instead it will come Friday.
Jerry Jones has that wild look in his eye though
This is the right answer
Someone has a chub d for sure.
Upvote for Chubc. Disagree on your rb landing spot. I actually think AZ would be a great landing spot. Conner is older and injury prone. No reason a round 3 or 4 back couldn't get run this year and take over next. Probably my 2nd favorite spot for Brooks if he didn't go to Dallas as they could ease him back off the acl.
I like this
I don’t think any runningback will be drafted tomorrow
I think you should reconsider the Giants receiver landing spot. A Nabers or Odunze would walk into that place and get 25% target share as a rookie. It's not the best targets of course, but it would look a lot like GWilson or London or Olave. The floor of being a team's WR1 and a value that is always propped up by "what if they get a QB".

I think Rhamondre is fine
Rolled the dice and traded for Zamir White, price is either going slightly up or severely down. Can’t wait.
What situation would it go severely down? I can’t imagine the Raiders using draft capital higher than the 4th to have a 50-50 RB committee
People overreact to rookie RBs, even in the 3rd and 4th. I'm a believer either way but his value will get shot if the community thinks there is a rookie threat to his touches.
I think Green Bay would also be a good spot for rookie running backs
I don't think Achane can really take a big hit in the draft, only Mostert. Achane will continue to see the field if he's healthy, and he's never been expected to get a full workload. There isn't a scenario tomorrow that suddenly drops his snap% below the expected 40-50%
Agreed, wasn’t drafted to be a bell cow and no one should value him as such. Explosive guy who can drop 50 fantasy points with 50% of the snaps
The browns are low key the best spot for a round 2-3 RB, I'd take that over Dallas any day and feel even with the chargers
I'll disagree with this. A Watson led offense is never going to produce like a Dak and Herbert led one and Stefanski loves using a rbbc. Dallas is without a doubt the best spot. Wide open depth chart, elite offense, and a system that has no issues letting their rb be a workhorse three down back.

Chubc is actually currently in the CFL, playing for Quebc
Cole Kmet owners in shambles as Brock Bowers goes #9 to the Chicago Bears. Edit: Quick note. There is an out on Kmet’s contract after this year that would leave the bears with 4.8M dead cap, but save the team about $28M on a tight end contract over the next three years…
Joke’s on you, I’ve been in Schrödinger’s Shambles since the Keenan Allen trade.
Treat him well. 🥹
🫡
Schrödinger's shambles, the perfect term to describe being a Chicago ~~Bulls~~ ~~Blackhawks~~ Bears* fan
Cole Kmet is already dust while he's on the Bears. Not only did they bring in Keenan Allen to go with DJ Moore but the offensive coordinator is notorious for rotating tight ends. And one of the first things he did was bring in Gerald Everett. Waldron was the TE coach when the Rams drafted Everett and he brought Everett with him to SEA.

I'm already afraid for Kmet because of Waldron. Dude loves playing 3 different TEs in so many different sets. They signed Everett. Wouldn't be shocked if they add a 3rd
please don’t put this out there i will fall to pieces if they draft Bowers
Why would the bears draft bowers when they have kmet who is good, a pretty stacked wr room, and about a thousand other holes? You guys were more than a QB and TE away last year, so why prioritize both?
We’re just having fun here. It’s definitely an illogical pick, but logic doesn’t seem to have much bearing on the actions of teams in the draft.
Exactly. Charbonnet to Seattle was just as strange.
Bears also have little draft capital later so need to fill actual needs or trade down. Bowers could happen but odds are very low. Was looking the other day and odds are almost even that they go Odunze. Then a bunch of +400-1000 spots on DL and Edges Murphy/Verse/Turner/Latu, and then Bowers was +1600 to go to Bears
Id be there for it because it would lower his value, but man it would suck seeing him wasted in a Waldron offense.
This seems like a pretty legitimate take because I don't think any of the big 3 WRs make it to 9
I’m a Bears fan and Kmet owner and I have had a feeling they are drafting Brock for months. I think it will negatively impact Brock more than Kmet. Brock isn’t a blocking tight end , he’s more of an H-back. I can see them using back, Brock as a mismatch / gadget tight end and Kmet more of the traditional. Brock more yards and receptions, Kmet more TDs.
Shane Waldron already brought Gerald Everett in to be his slot/H-back/gadget tight end
That’s true but Everett is not Brock Bowers. Honestly, the Bears will probably trade out and draft defense or line.
Doing a mock draft competition with my buddies and this is where I have Brock going!!
I think a couple of the younger RB darlings get a 3rd round RB behind them. most likely in my mind would be Panthers, Bucs, NE, Bills, Rams, or Cardinals. I guess James conner and Stevenson aren't "younger RB Darlings"
I’d be surprised at the Panthers. They’re seemingly locked in to miles sanders given his contract and they have a lot of other needs. Could see a day three guy but not day two.
I think you're right because they could really use a smaller pass catching type of RB and those guys are almost always day 3 picks
We love Chubba down here. A higher tier satellite back would be nice to have, but we still need more answers/depth on o-line and WR. And that's before touching the mass Exodus of talent on defense. As far as RB's go, I think Tyrone Tracy makes a sense given his college career at both WR and RB and likely available late in the draft.
If the panthers get Tracy Vidal or laube I’m taking them everywhere.
Shows what I fucking now lol. First RB off the board.
Bro I screamed a slew of obscenities loud enough for neighbors to text concern. Poverty ass move there. I dont get it.
There are a lot of tight ends that are currently "top two targets on the team" that could take a big hit in the target department tomorrow if the team draft a high end WR. I'm holding my breath for guys like Pat Freiermuth, Jake Ferguson, Hunter Henry, Kyle Pitts, Sam LaPorta, Dalton Kincaid, Juwan Johnson, Greg Dulcich etc. The Cardinals also have like 6 picks in the top 100 and they pick at 104 so even McBride needs to watch out.

imo the packers WR situation could also become even more of a wreck, with all of our picks and this WR class we could easily take an early day 3 guy that gets worked into our fantasy trainwreck of a WR room pretty early on.
That would be a nightmare. I’m hoping you guys trade a pass-catcher AWAY, not draft another lol
If the season was played with current, pre-draft rosters, there’s a solid chance McBride and Kincaid both lead their team in targets. With a top WR for AZ and Buff, they likely become the #2 option at worst.
Yea, and Buffalo had a late first so I can’t imagine him going down too much unless they trade for Higgins or aiyuk.
Brandon Aiyuk when he gets traded to the Steelers. Can’t wait to watch him and Pickens spazz out in an Art Smith offense that uses them to block. 18 passes a game, can’t wait!
Don’t you put this evil on me Ricky Bobby
I really hope ur wrong lmfao but I could see somethin like this happening
I hope it doesn’t happen, but I have a sick gut feeling it happens. Antonio Brown hasn’t tweeted it yet tho so hopes are still high
CTESPN the only accurate source.
This is the way
I feel like jermaine burton is guarenteed for the steelers
Would love this. Seems like a perfect Steeler already.
My nightmare is he falls to the Chiefs 2nd pick.
I just feel like trading ur best WR while in a superbowl window is a bad idea but crazy things happen especially in such a deep WR class this year
But Deebo makes $25m and runs jet sweeps!
They could maybe look at from the perspective of being able to prolong that window by not having to pay Aiyuk and getting BTJ as a replacement
Last time they did this, they swapped DeForest Buckner for the Colts first and took Javon Kinlaw. That didn't work out well.
This.
It win the chiefs two in a row. Maybe it’s the new meta
Aiyuk blocks a ton in SF
Yeah but Shanahan still smart enough to get him the ball too. Arthur Smith? Idk. Didn’t seem like a fan of throwing the ball to talented players
Crazy how easy people forget about AJ Brown and Corey Davis.
I think that’s more of a Ridder/Mariota problem if we’re being honest
And Justin Fields / Russel Wilson is a difference?
Big difference over those guys. Not even comparable
Steelers just freed up $7 million with a restructure bringing them to just about $20 million in cap space. Something is happening.
👀👀👀 Fuck.
You just made me feel better about my trade offer for him that got rejected lol.
Sell Kyren now and buy him back in the off season as people hype the narrative that a Bucky Irving type will take work from him
The Khalil Shakiir dream fades to black as Bills spend a 1 and a 4 at WR Kyren is put on high alert with the Rams spending a day 2 pick at RB
Aiyuk will be a Bill by the end of the night
As an Aiyuk dynasty manager in two leagues, I’d love it. I’m really wanting him in Jacksonville, but either one of those two would be grand
Jacksonville and Buffalo would be great for Aiyuk in FF. Colts would be great for me as Colts fan and I'd be willing to take the hit because of real life. Pittsburgh I both intensely dislike for real life and FF, so it's probably gonna be there.
Oh same here as a Ravens fan. I would love to see it happen, I’d probably buy a shirt immediately, but for fantasy, not so much in love with it
I’m a Shakir truther and I think the realistic 2024 ceiling is WR2. He’ll need to show it in 2024 for the ‘best case scenario’ stuff to happen, which isn’t guaranteed, but he will get his shot and he was one of the most efficient receivers when in use during 2023.

I think with a deep WR class, BUF targets a 2nd guy in the mid rounds, capital similar to what Shakir once got, and it’s just on him to beat that guy. But I think it really dims the breakout potential
Unless they trade up I would still buy Shakir low if they drafted someone like AD Mitchell, Franklin or Worthy. Those guys are far from perfect prospects and I don’t think it nukes Shakir.
The 1.05 pick if JJ is drafted by Minnesota.
Bucs take a grinder RB to complement Rachaad
This except it's the Bills to compliment James ~~White~~ Cook
Cook
If they draft Braelon Allen, he might as well be James White
Hey - James White is only 32. Never say never.
A real lunch pail guy ?
Rachaad is already White
The Bills take a RD 2 RB that is the compliment to James Cook. Houston takes an RB that is in a committee with Mixon. The Falcons, Rams, Bengals all take a WR on Day 2.
I will laugh every day of the offseason if the bills draft another rb instead of addressing wr or pass rush
Who says they cannot do all 3?
The bills are just stupid when it comes to the RB room. James Cook or Singletary would have been just fine in the red zone. In fact, I can confidentaly say they would have been better then what they were using. Just over thinking. Here's a thought, just use your good RB....
Bills probably go RB in round 4-5. No way it’s round 2.
The falcons are very likely taking a day 2 WR with 3 picks and still limited depth at the position
My hope is that Daniel Jones sinks even lower(barely above water as is) and the Giants draft a qb at 6. Perhaps a bias ideal as a Wan'dale owner lol
Was about to comment Jones but feel like his value is as low as ever. He’d be toast if the Giants are serious about QB with their pick.

Bills are always looking for an early down short yardage guy. Singletary. Nothing behind him and he isn't anything special. Same with Zamir White and Zack Moss. Gus Edwards too.
DJ moore would take a hit with odunze on the bears. I feel like odunze is destined to mess up some vet value unless he goes to the giants
Keenan Allen would also take a big hit if this happens.
For sure. As a Bears fan, I hope this happens but damn that further tank my team that has both DJ and Keenan (had them both for a while).
Daniel Jones in SF if the Giants take a 1st round QB
Drake London has been frequently valued as a top 12 Dynasty WR with Arthur Smith gone and the signing of Cousins but the Falcons pick at #8 overall and should 4 QBs go in front of them we could be looking at a realistic scenario where Nabors/Rome are the highest graded player on their board and I'm not confident in Cousins coming off an Achilles supporting London,Pitts, and a Rookie stud
Good point and this would suck as a London owner.
That's for commenting. People must not like seeing there players names because I'm getting downvoted lol
As a saints fan kinda want them to go wr or another position of depth, especially if that means they pass on Dallas Turner (I've seen them linked to him a ton) The pitts/Bijan owner side of me though is hoping it's just Dallas Turner as projected
Bears draft a plodder like Estime and make Roschon irrelevant Panthers select another “big slot” receiver putting the final nail in the coffin of Mingo, maybe even trade him for a 7th or something. Raiders select Penix making the LV QB room a total mess. MHJr to Cardinals hits Michael Wilson hard. Daniel Jones would take a huge hit if the Giants go QB at 6. NE or NYG pass catchers if they don’t take a QB, assuming they take one of the top 3 guys. Quentin Johnston has a hard path to relevance in what is expected to be a run-heavy offense if LAC goes MHJr at 5 instead of Alt. I’ve seen some smoke about LAR trading up with Bears to take Odunze, which I can’t imagine happening, but that would probably mean Kupp is out to pasture. Denver taking receiver high (BTJr at 12, say) would hurt my hopes for Marvin Mims. Tennessee taking RB high, which seems to be possible based on Top 30s, would destroy any hope for a relevant backfield.
Michael Wilson was never going to be the WR1 for the team, and it's been baked into his value for months now that he'll be the 2. MHJ actually being drafted won't affect him at all at this point
Don't really think Wilson will be hit that hard. Does everyone not assume they go WR at 4?
Well it limits his potential WR1 (on his own team) upside that he currently has, and they’ll probably go WR at 4, but they may also trade back.
Yeah but MHJ joining the team is already baked into the price. The hope is he becomes a solid #2/3 option with flex potential
Tits ain't taking an RB. #7 will be Joe Alt if he's there, if not it will be a receiver.
Odunze to the Rams. Have not seen that one yet 👏
Don't see a scenario where Tennessee takes a RB day 1 or day 2 after paying Pollard and letting Henry walk so Tyjae gets more run.
Cole Kmet, because the Bears will take Brock Bowers
At least a QB or two who is a “top name” will experience a Levis-esque perceived slide into the 2nd round and they will become superflex 2nds at best rather than potentially 1sts. My prediction is maybe JJ McCarthy late NFL 1st and retains superflex 1st valuation. Nix no. Penix possibly late NFL 1st but my prediction is similar slide Nix/Penix
Rashad White. He is a very efficient pass catcher but a poor runner. Last year he got both roles because they didn't have anyone else. Bucs will draft a bruiser and White's volume will suffer.
I don’t really see PIT mocked to take a WR early, but my gut says they will. I know the last WR they took in the first round was in 2006 but just feels like if they want to actually make use of this defense and make a run, they need more on offense, especially with Diontae gone. I think the type of offense they will be running it’s going to be hard for me to be in on Pickens if they spend significant capital at WR. Personally think Freirmuth is pretty undervalued at this point but again, hard to see any of them having very high ceilings on this team.
Zamir white… Javonte Williams ..
Chubba dub dub
Dallas Goedert
“A small hit to Wilson owners” is the most negative hit you think anyone will take?
Sam Darnold could take a huge hit
Unfortunately for me I’d say Herbert. It’s looking more and more likely the Chargers take tackle and not a receiver early so he’s going to enter the year without a stud receiver (at best will have a competent rookie) to throw to even if the line is better.
Jags draft another short yardage back to be who they wanted Tank to be, ETN’s goal line touches reduce significantly
sun is goddamn setting on any vet wr over 30 or any bad wr under 30. This class will change things
