Caleb Farley needs back surgery now before the draft, and is expected back for training camp. Seems likely that he'll fall down the drafting board now.
Surtain looks most likely of the CBs at 10.
If Slater or Sewell are available @ 10, take either.
If one of the QBs falls, trade back to 15 and get NE's 2nd.
If CB is key, we can get a NEwscome or Joseph or Molden in the 2nd.
If Pitts fall to 10th, he has to be in play as well. I doubt he will but there is bound to be some surprises.
You have the extra 3rd and 4th round picks aswell, maybe you can trade up to get a higher graded player with either of those comp picks.
Have a strange feeling Pitts or Chase is going 2 if the Jets keep the pick.
Which if they do, there is no way 3 or 4 QBs go by pick 10, which means someone will be available for a QB hungry team and then you get a few extra picks, and maybe a #1 next year and really rebuild this team.
All I'm reading is that Horn is gone by 10 - which sucks as we need that kind of player on defense, a pure dawg.
I'd love the following draft
10 - Slater
44 - Kelvin Joseph
75 - jevon holland
99 - marvin wilson
Watch out for:
Ossai (Texas DE), Sewell (he may drop as there will be a run on CBs & WRs imo after the 3 QBs go, and then Pitts will go 4th).
A few players I hope we get late
Derrick Barnes - Purdue LB ... a project but he has that it factor.
Tongo - BYU DT. He's got such great potential.
Shi Smith - SCarolina WR
Shakur Brown - MSU CB ... he could be a good one, a bck up for 1 year and then replaces Anthony BRown.
I'd be very happy if we trade down to 13-15 and get extra picks. the 2nd - 3rd round is where filled with potential starters.
Yeah, there seems to be some stories that both CBs could be gone by 10. But who knows. The Falcons can go for a QB as well, so will be interesting to see.
I'd love a OT at 10, as there seems to be a loaded class for CBs later in the draft.
The Draft show talked about Derrick Barnes yesterday, and Broaddus loves him.
Matt Ryan is 35 ... ridley, jones (if they don't trade him for a 2 or 3) & pitts? fucking hell, that will be unreal.
Then load up on defense.
Indeed. I wouldnt be against trading down. If one of the QBs, or two, are there then teams will want to come up and you can get a great deal.
Loads of players you can target in the 15-20 range.
Draft day, baby!
What do we think @LeTallecWiz @peekay @Karl Hungus
First draft were 4 QBs can be off the board first, or not a defensive player is taken before 10th. So many different scenarios possible depending on what the 49ers or Falcons do at 3rd and 4th.
My hope, but not likely is that Kyle Pitts falls to 10th. That would be a lot of fun.
The Cowboys will probably go for Surtain or Horn if they are there at 10, and Sewell and Pitts are off the board (which is very likely).
My guess is that the pick is Horn. Thoughts?
Steelers are 24 in round 1. Also, as an organization, we generally don't compete for the top-of-the-line promising talent in college football. So I am expecting them to remain at 24 or even trade down. My guess is a running back to replace James Conner (Najee Harris or Devonte Williams, spoken about a lot), or an Offensive Lineman *creed Humphrey), or a linebacker (to backup Devin Bush). I definitely think we will be covering those three positions through the entire draft.
Williams is good but RBs are a wasted 1st round investment in today's game.
If he slips, you guys should take Zaven COllins (LB) ... or Teven Jenkins ...
There's strong rumors today that the Saints are trying to trade up to top 10 (!!!) to get Penei Sewell
Wow, Sewell is tipped to the Bengals at 5 in most of the Mocks I’ve seen
Isnt Collins red flagged with some injury issues? Will be interesting to see how far Caleb Farley falls.
They'll go for Chase imo.
He put on some weight - but he's not injured as far as i know.
Cowboys love him but not at 10.
Farley will go in the 20s imo - maybe Green Bay?
He's great but that back.

Fields will go top ten.
Can't see Parsons going in the top 10.
I wonder whether we might see Miami and the Falcons swap picks if the Falcons want Lance. It looked like Miami wanted to be in play for Chase or Pitts.
Poor the cowboys ... Horn and Surtain gone
