Some people have Cooper over Wilson, they are both super athletic, Wilson has more experience and was way more productive. Cooper doesn’t have the injury red flags. I think it’s a pick your flavor situation. DJ has Cooper as the 26th best player in the draft.

Ohh nice fit there. Perfect spot.

With the 38th pick in the TSW Mock Draft 1.0 the Tennessee Illegal Forward Passes select Patrick Paul, OT, Houston I considered DL and LB here, but I love this fit for the Titans. Paul is a pure left tackle left on the board and I honestly like him better than some of the tackles who went ahead of him. This may seem like a reach, but the Titans are all over him and he fits what they are looking for. In fact, new HC Brian Callahan was asked about what type of Olinemen he is looking for and he said he is looking for linemen who "are great in pass protection, can anchor, and have great length." Thatś Paul. He started 44 games at Left tackle for Houston in an Air Raid system. He can really pass protect. Paul is 6´7 1/2¨, 331 lbs, and has 36.25-inch arms. He has the length, the size, and the athleticism. Of course air raid guys typically lack in the run blocking acumen, but Paul is going to work for Bill Callahan, widely considered the best in the business. Callahan also teaches the tip of the spear, force deflection technique which is a lot less old school ¨low man wins¨ stuff, and all about length and using leverage and hips. Tip of the Spear stuff is based in jujitsu concepts and Paul even has a martial arts background. Paul is the perfect type of piece of clay for Callahan to mold. Finally, Paul crushed it at the senior bowl and killed it in one on ones and in the run game. He was mauling people in the run game all week. The second tier or OTs is why I went with the BPA in Nabers in round one. I would rather have Nabers and Paul or Morgan etc than have Alt and Keon Coleman or whoever else is left. That puts an end to my draft as our third-round pick went Arizona in a trade up last year for Will Levis and Tyjae Spears. @Mat68 and the Carolina Panthers are now on the clock!

49ers probably going OL or secondary

I love Aiyuk, and could see it happen. But one of the reasons they are taking this 30 million cap hit imo is to clear the money at that position and go younger and cheaper. I highly doubt they turn around and trade for Aiyuk and then give him a huge contract. JMO

I really like Franklin as well. I voted AD Mitchell because he is bigger, thicker, and faster. But it’s close for me and I would be happy with either. I’d be happy with Coleman or Legette because I think they both add dynamics to our offense that we don’t have. And I mentioned somewhere I am actually ok with McConkey if they plan to double dip at receiver. Whether he is just a slot or whatever I don’t really care, the bottom line is that he is going to be very good imo. I think the Ravens with Todd Monken coming from Georgia will draft Mitchell or McConkey. I think that’s McConkey’s floor. Bottom line is I think we are going to get a good player at 28, I think it just depends what flavor you want. Excluding the top 3, Brian Thomas is exactly what we need, but do we trade up that high? Mitchell and Franklin are the best fits for our offense out of the next group. Leggette and Coleman bring massive size we don’t have and McConkey would pair well with Josh.

I just don’t think you should trade a future 1 to get up for a guy who isn’t a QB. We’ve been down this road with Sammy Watkins and it just didn’t work. Julio Jones sticks out as a pretty much the only time it worked. I know we are in a different place, but I just think it is extremely risky. I am more ok with a huge trade up since we have that extra second rounder. But it has to be with a team who is punting on QB this year and wants the extra pick next year. Maybe that is Denver. We shall see.

Right up there with David Sills

I was a big Poz guy. Had just bought his jersey and he signed with Jacksonville like 6 months later. But Jim Kelly is probably the worst. His retirement sent us on the path of QB purgatory.

This was my concern as well. But I have been in clinics with Steve Skarsisian and I have to be honest, he is not impressive. He does not strike me as a guy who gets the most out of his players. When I looked at the flaws of the other guys Coleman 4.6 is a little scary, but his affinity for playing down south was a bit of a red flag. I like speed but I don’t love Worthy as a fit in our offense. Leggette is a monster, but I am always afraid of the one year wonders and he is a bit older than these other guys. For me it came down to Mitchell and Franklin and Mitchell is just bigger and faster so I think he is more likely to hit. JMO

I went Mitchell, but all these guys have some flaws in their game. Mitchell’s is that effort thing when the ball isn’t going his way, and that can be fixed imo. Can’t really fix size and speed, so he’s the guy I went with.

Norman said that Diggs takes himself out and that is why he is off the field a bunch.

Coleman transferred from Michigan State because he wanted to be down south.

i think he had a kid and wanted to be closer to home

I suppose the obvious move then is to find a way to get Thomas Jr. Or stay put and take Franklin, Leggette or Coleman. Mitchell has some size as well but not like those other guys.

Yeah I’m not married to that, but I can visualize him plugging in that spot.

The talking heads are full of it. The real answer is that Diggs will be a good teammate for a couple of years. That seems to have been his MO. So if you can get a player of his caliber for pretty insignificant capital and you know he will be a good for a couple of years then it’s worth doing. He will surely wear out his welcome there as well once the honeymoon is over.

Mitchell seems the most like Diggs to me. I think that could work.

I’ve been waiting to hear his thoughts on the idea of Shane Buechele dressing as the third qb next year. Finally

I always thought she looked pretty good. 🥁🥁

So any shot you can find that deep threat in free agency? DJ Chark, Jalen Guyton, Hardman, MVS…all 4.3 guys. I myself an a big Guyton fan, bot sure if he is all the way back from the ACL. Maybe a Michael Gallup? I know none of those guys are Diggs level players, but they are fast and aside from Hardman are also big.

seems like there aren’t many true LTs in this draft, at least early. I haven’t dived in much on the late guys

I think he is going to be a monster. The question is if he can play LT.

Been thinking about posting a new thread “Diggs Traded.” Gonna hold off for now. Maybe in a few hours.

I’m good with Ladd if they draft more than one guy. I think he fits very well with what they want to do.
