There are some “not great” takes in that old thread. I love McDuffie. I get the short arms thing. And I am a measurables guy. But I just see a plug and play tailor made for this defense guy. If they put him on the white board at the combine, the dude probably knocked it out of the park. Like grand slam. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. And man does this dude tackle. I mentioned it in another thread but to me he is a cross between Cortland Finnegan with a little Honey Badger sprinkled in. But I see Finnegan all day, an undersized, scrappy, in your face player who just got it done. I live Stingley too, but that is unrealistic.

Never did that either. Hollywood makes being a Brinks driver seem super exciting and dangerous when in reality its probably just eating donuts and delivering cash to attractive bank tellers who majored in English or speech pathology and have to settle for the bank job for now.

I am pretty sure i have pounded a few tables, but never sprinted to a podium. Actually sprinting would likely snap my achilles like a rubber band at this point

In fairness, a few people actually mentioned similar type trades on here weeks ago. Not saying that this is where Cover 1 got the idea, but it’s possible. 🤷‍♂️ If they can work something out that allows us to get Stingley, I am all for it.

Really good point here. That’s why I think you should package some picks and try to move up a bit to add one of those top corners. My hope is that these teams overdraft QBs and go bonkers for these offensive linemen letting the corners slip.

100% we need to draft guys there, but does it have to be a 1? I guess if its BPA that’s fine, or if a guy like Williams falls. I don’t hate the idea of Watson because I don’t know how much he can help us this year anyway. But it certainly adds a high upside development piece who could in theory replace Diggs eventually. But yeah we need a corner bad, and unless all those 1st round corners are all gone, I can’t see us going anywhere else in round 1.

I just don’t understand the receiver at 25 crowd. I mean, are you drafting a guy who will push Davis down the depth chart? Or Crowder out of the lineup? That’s fine, but if not you are drafting a part time player. Like why?

If this is true, I would think it would be for Stingley. That's it. But yeah I still don't think it happens. I think they move around the board though.

He isn't coming here, but I would think Gilmore would want to wear his South Carolina/high school 5

Apologies to whomever the Browns have as kicker.

GM Doug doesn't realize that we now have a GM who knows how the cap works. So we are good.

That was a rule for 2021, but does not apply in 2022. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/nfl-jersey-number-change-cost/1wctmhnwlhsx1tjj1yluzqbxu

Well, if everybody here gets their wish of first round wide receiver than he will not play much more than that.

I like Pitre a lot. I almost picked him for the Eagles earlier in the 2nd. Great value here imo.

Right and they gave him a bunch of small guys with deep speed to throw to. Hill and Waddle can do other things obviously, but their strength is their speed. Just doesn't make any sense. Even the Will Fuller signing last year, like who is gonna get it to him?

Crazy its 50/50

One of the reasons McDermott let him leave in the first place is the schematic fit. I know Gilmore is older now, but he was a man cover corner, not much of a zone guy. They could have given him a franchise tag and they didn’t. I don’t think they wanted him.

Love Jt28, but in 2019 besides Biadasz, he had Cole Van Lanen drafted by the Pack 6th, Logan Bruss goin this year. In 2018 he had Michael Deiter 3rd round, and David Edwards 5th round in addition to those guys. Beau Benzschawel was an UDFA. Not an earth shattering group, but solid. Biadasz, Dieter and Edwards are really good starters in the league. The other guys are depth guys.

This team could use some more eyebrows. So why not.

I like Kyle Fuller. I’d be ok with Rhodes. Don’t love Haden, but I would be ok with it.

If you draft Smith, I am not sure he starts this year. He sits and develops, then replaces Saffold next year. I prefer to find impact starters, but after getting our corner, not sure there is an impact starter in the list besides maybe Walker. You could potentially draft a linebacker who replaces Tremaine next year, but I think Smith is too good to pass up here. I think you need a starter at corner. We have respectable depth there at wide receiver right now and projected starters, plus two tight ends. Unless you are displacing Gabe Davis or Crowder, you aren’t drafting a starter if you take a receiver in the first, and that’s why I don’t like it. Woolen has upside but will be a liability for a team trying to get to a Super Bowl. McDuffie and some of the other guys are plug and play.

I like Smith a lot. A little raw, but he’s huge and crazy athletic. He’s a monster.

I think he has a chance to go higher. Not sure if he makes it to our pick. But the off ball linebacker need around the league isn’t crazy and it is a bit of an undervalued position, so it’s feasible that he drops mid to late 2. And there is depth at that position. Lloyd, Dean, Muma, Asamoah and Harris are probably all ahead of him in most pecking orders and some coaches and schemes will prefer Brandon Smith, Darrian Beavers, Damone Clark, Leo Chenal.

Thanks! Off the top I could not remember that next tier of guys

I love Anderson. The speed, but he’s also super interesting and for a guy who hasn’t played the position long, his instincts are really good.
