I really like Daniel Jeremiah's stuff and thoughts and I keep coming back to him having Hockenson as like the 4th or 5th best player in this draft. I think, if he went back to Iowa, he would definitely be a top ten player next year. I think he's a top ten player this year. If he turns out to be one of those guys, it will definitely be the sexiest of picks.

Outside of Hockenson, I don't think there are any studs left here. Maybe Fant or Ferrell. Dillard is going to be terrible imo. I think Murphy, Baker, Greedy, and Rock Ya Sin may all go in that 15-30 range so we aren't that far from value there. My board at this point would be Hock, Murphy, Ferrel. And I don't have a board. Just imaginary in my mind lol.

I love this excercise because the moral of the story here is that you have to be careful how far you trade down if you do decide to trade down. There are something like 15-18 really good first rounders here and then a who,e bunch of guys who could go from anywhere between 18 and 50. I do think the Bills would consider a corner here as well.

I think he will really struggle as a 4-3 end. His arms are short and he just isn't stout enough imo. I think he could be serviceable in a 3-4 where he might get moved around a bit. Interesting player with nice hair, but I don't see a fit here. Guys like Sweat, Ferguson...those are McDermott ends.

This is the post of the week!

That makes sense too.

Lock or Metcalf? Maybe Jacobs?

How dare you live your life and step away from this board? SMDH ?

Blake Cashman!

With the 10th pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the Denver Broncos select Jonah Williams, OL , Alabama. @whatdrought is now on the clock. Sorry don't know how to link it. I believe that the Broncos will skip quarterback this year and I considered Lock and Bush, but I'm making Jonah my center and moving McGovern back to right guard. I believe Williams can be a Alex Mack level center. If Garret Bolles does not improve, I can always move Williams out. I'm basically grabbing the best OL available at this point. I'm taking the best OL talent avalable and allowing Mike Munchak to mold him into whatever he wants. I believe the Broncos want to win now.

I'll make a pick in about 5 minutes

I have some guys I like but will consider a trade down. So let me know if anybody wants up.

A lot of what I heard,/read said about really 18 prospects, 3-4 of which are elite. So probably don't want to trade down past say, 18-20.

I still think guys like Corey Luiget or Mo Wilkerson could be cheap free agent stopgaps at the three technique spot. Both are younger than McCoy but not as good. Luiget gives you elite run stopping and Mo has more length and pass rush ability. I don't think we are forced to take a three Tech, but if he's there you take Oliver.

The Broncos are open for business if anyone might be interested in trading up to ten.

I'd go ahead and sign Michael Burton of the Bears. He's a UFA and would come cheap, but has been one of the better fullbacks in the league the last couple of years. Former Rutgers teammate of Tyler Kroft. Then you have Danny Vitale who I always liked coming out of the draft. He's kind of bounced around the league a bit, but has speed, hands, and upside as a blocker. You could line Jake Fisher up back there as he bid a lot of that for the Bengals a few years ago. They even changed his jersey number as he served as their H back. I've been very dissapointed in DiMarco's play and I think he was a terrible fit Shady McCoy's style from the beginning. All that said, McDermott loves him and he leadership he brings, so unless you are getting a massive upgrade, he will be on the team.

I love this. I think he becomes the James White type guy in this offense. White had 87 freaking catches last year. That safety valve out of the backfield is important imo becuase you can't cover that guy and spy the quarterback. You have to pick your poison. With Beasley working the slot, Brown and Foster on the outside and (maybe Hockenson), plus a quarterback who can run at a high level, I think defenses will be stretched thin.

I think you could do a two this year and a two next year. Maybe a fourth this year. This gives the Seahawks a reasonable package of picks and more than what the Chiefs got for Ford.

I just don't understand how the Jets can continue to ignore edge players. They have none at all. Unless they feel havoc up the middle and Williams' scheme will cause enough pressure. I'd actually be happy if they passed on Josh Allen. I still think they are trying to coerce a trade up from a team in the 6-12 range who had their heart set on Oliver.

The Hurst situation is a great comparison. I really can't believe he went in the fourth. I can't see that happen to Sweat, but who knows at this point.

If they take Metcalf or Sweat over Hockenson I think I will be dissapointed. I hope Oliver drops. That's the guy I want. But you are right that there is risk with both. If they take Metcalf over Sweat I won't be mad. I just think the Red flags with Metcalf are too much for the top ten. Lack of production, short area quickness, injuries, drops. When do receivers like that make it in the NFL? He strikes me as one of those guys who is going to flash tremendous ability, but is always going to have a soft tissue injuries. Pulled hamstring, tight groin etc etc. like a really big John Ross.

I think people are afraid of the heart stuff and rightfully so. I think this is all raked stuff to get him to somebody in the teens. I'd take him at 9 if Oliver is gone.

I don't love either of these guys. I'd be pretty dissapointed with either. If Williams is not a sure thing at LT then I don't want him in the top ten. If that's where they are going to play him and feel like he is going to be elite, fine. Metcalf is a reach there and a little too boom or bust for me. I wouldn't hate it, but I'd be a bit dissapointed. I think this entire draft process has been a massive smokescreen for who they really want, and that's probably TJ Hockenson or somebody we are thinking about like Byron Murphy. I still think it's Oliver or Sweat.

Actually Williams arms are 1/8 longer than Dillard's. Dillard's are actually shorter. Both come in at under 34 which is a problem for a lot of NFL people. No one says that about Dillard, which is weird.

So I'll probably get killed for this, but I don't think playing left tackle is so much about analytics. Yes you should study your opponents and their moves but this seems a bit much for me. If I'm coaching offensive linemen I want guys who can initiate with strength and react with agility. I never want guys anticipating a move, because when you cheat, and you are wrong, you've lost. Playing left tackle is about quick reaction, great feet, long arms, and a strong, quick punch. If you can do that at a high level you can be a great left tackle and be dumb as a doorknob. Centers need to be the thinkers. Left tackles needs to react, be dancing bears as Mike Mayock used to say. So I think it's cool that Jonah works as hard as he does and studies the way that he does. But his arms are still short and he does struggle with speed rushers. Perhaps studying gives him the edge he needs because he lacks length and things, but I think it's overkill, and I don't think it will help much in the NFL. A guy like Jerry Hughes would embarrass him no matter how much he studies. Just my 2 cents.
