The silver lining of it all is if say Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield, Allen and say Jackson go before 21, tons of elite prospects are going to slide down to us.

I like it. Not the player he once was, but still solid. Gotta have a couple vets on the roster. Nothing to lose..

Barkley could go #3, but if I'm the Colts, I don't think I could turn down Quenton Nelson. This is the guy you want protecting Luck. Nelson is my favorite prospect in the draft, best OL talent I've seen since Joe Thomas, he is that good.

I don't think this class is as good as people think, it could turn out that way but Darnold turned the ball over a lot, Rosen's character has been likened to Jay Cutler, Josh Allen only completed 56% of his passes. I think we should wait till RD2. I don't think we should get emotionally invested into the 4th or 5th best guy, we made that mistake with Losman. Eli, Rivers and Big Ben go 1, 2 and 3, then Buffalo burned a 1st on Losman. If it's not there, it's not there.

1.) EJ Gaines, CB (Buffalo) 2.) Teddy Bridgewater, QB (Minnesota) 3.) John Brown, WR (Arizona)

I love Kyle Lauletta in the 2nd round. I'd actually rather not go QB RD1. I like the idea of burning a 2nd on Lauletta and bringing Fitzpatrick back for a year to mentor him.

Man, too bad Quenton Nelson is a top 10 lock, he is a future HOFer, he is my favorite player in the draft. I think Connor Williams is going to be an All Pro RT as well. If Cordy Glenn is traded, Dawkins and Connor Williams would make for a disgusting OL.

If Denver lands Cousins, if the Giants take Barkley and Rosen is sitting there at 5, I could see a big trade. If we stay put, my top 22 gets really confusing for me. I know we need a QB, but if it comes down to Lamar Jackson or Mason Rudolph, do we want to hitch our wagon to a very questionable prospect? Chances are, if you take a QB in the first, your HC and GM will live by that pick and die by that pick as is the nature of 1st round QBs. Now if one of those guys fell to RD2? It's not a tremendous commitment to them and we can move on quick.

We own 21 and 22 overall. I'm just trying to get a feel for who fans want. (You can play along too.)

Yeah. I'm just curious what your top 22 draft board would look like. I know it's a loaded question, I'm just curious, I understand if you don't have the time to answer, but just off the top of your head, what do you think?

Virgil, what does your top 22 list look like?

We're like fish at the bottom of the ocean waiting for leftovers to sink down to us. We don't know what we're going to be eating, but something is going to drop.

I'm luke warm on the QBs this year. I like Jackson, Rudolph and Lauletta, but I don't love them. I don't think we should spend a 1st on QB because there are too many can't miss prospects at 21 & 22. If we go QB in RD2, we can move on from them in 1 year. Spending a 1st on a QB likely means McD's wagon is hitched to that prospect and I think that could be dangerous. Sure, there's some solid characteristics I like about them, but nobody I'd go all in on.

If Andy Levitre and Nick Mangold had a baby.

Wouldn't even give a 7th for him. I think we can easily find a better player in rounds 3-7 in the draft.

I think Kyle Lauletta can be coached up. I'd love him in the 2nd round, seems like he has pretty good upside. Could be a solid pick, especially if we signed Fitzpatrick or McCown to mentor him for a year.

We'll see if it helps. Sounds like he is psychotic, bipolar maybe? Only so much they can do. Going to be a lifelong battle I'm afraid.

I think Manziel needs to go to the CFL and develop for a few years, the NFL is probably too much for him at this point.

Sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail. Has anybody here never been the butt of jokes? I have. But I've also viciously teased people in the past (all of which I apologized profusely for later in life). It's just the way it goes, euphoria doesn't last forever, neither does depression.

1.) Mason Rudolph, QB, OSU 1.) Roquan Smith, LB, Georgia 2.) Taven Bryan, DT, Florida 2.) Equanimeous St. Brown, WR, Notre Dame

Hope we stick to the blue chip players, I don't want flashy free agents, just tough hombres that buy into the process. Let the divas go to Dallas and New York while we scoop up the guys that have been looked over with chips on their shoulders.

Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield and Lamar Jackson, I don't care how risky it is, if either one of them falls to 21, take a stab, just don't trade up for one and I'm cool with it.

Hell yeah!

Problem is, if we did sign Cousins, we'd be spent. Not a penny left for anyone else, that's worrisome to me. If we went after Case Keenum: 1.) Is he a 1 year wonder? 2.) Do you want to hitch your wagons to him and commit long term? Because in my mind, he is going to get a fat contract. Nick Foles would be a decent fall back option, but like Keenum, is he a flash in the pan? Do you want to give up draft picks and money to acquire him? That leaves a bunch of other mediocre options, why dump Taylor at that point? Especially for a lateral move.

Hate is a strong word, but when I think of McShay and Kiper it's one of the first words that comes to mind.
