I'm fine with Shenault and Robinson and I'll defer to smarter people regarding Hunt. Astro was a good resource for my own spreadsheet of trying to track who we've been in contact with among other things, but I don't really see the point in a mock where every single pick is someone we've scouted in person or met with in the offseason; that's just not very realistic as we've averaged roughly 50% of our picks being people that were publicly on our radar and most teams don't even hit 50%. Having every single pick be someone that we watched in person or met with is just incredibly unlikely.

Yeah, I literally bet it a couple hours before there were all of a sudden a bunch of reports of teams being higher on him than people realize lol. Still don't think it'll hit but we'll see.

My bets: Andrew Thomas top 10 (feel pretty good about this one) CeeDee Lamb 13th or later (ehhhh) Andrew Thomas first OL taken (don't actually believe it, but couldn't resist at +950) JK Dobbins first RB taken (same as above) Jedrick Wills first OL taken (actually believe this) I have a couple others that are much longer shot bets where I just bet a couple dollars for fun.

Michael Pittman is the one that I actually have in my mock that would count as a surprise. The others that are mildly surprising but wouldn't be very shocking IMO are: Ross Blacklock Cesar Ruiz Zack Baun Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a possibility as well but I don't have any RBs in my mock.

FYI Akers is 41 on TDN

Man that would be a lot to give up for them. I personally wouldn't do it if I were in their shoes but they definitely have the ammo if they want to.

I’m sure he’ll bulk back up a decent amount. That Leroy guy is saying Arians wants him a little lighter than usual anyways and line him up out wide more

It's a one year contract.

Suh was on the team last year and Football Outsiders had them as a top 5-10 defense last season. I don't personally have much faith in the defense actually being great, but the people suggesting they're legitimate title contenders would say the results were already there last season; just happened to have a QB that handed a ton of points to the other team to make them look bad.

Daniel Jeremiah tweeted that 1st round swap out lol. Insanity. What a shot in the arm this offseason has been for Tampa. Going from playing in empty stadiums to selling out and being a potential Super Bowl contender.

Jay Glazer saying Gronk already completed and passed his physical with the Bucs. Sounds like this is getting completed very quickly. Leroy is one of the Barstool guys' dogs.

The royal blue (not the navy, which I assume is the color rush?) is the only one I like. Also the helmet numbers are so gross to me (as is the navy helmet). I've never really understood the love for their light blue personally. Their light blue and yellow clash for me but seems like everyone else loves it.

Obviously doesn't help his trade value, but it could be a Jags person trying to explain to the fans why they're looking to trade their beloved RB.

I wouldn't hate it. Certainly has potential with his physical tools but he was definitely a disappointment at Michigan even if you factor the QB play in.

Inconsistent WR play was too unfortunately

I voted Pride but I'd be very very happy to have Edwards as well.

FWIW, PFF graded Fournette as nearly the worst pass blocker in the NFL last year at the RB position. Notable players that graded worse: Tony Pollard Phillip Lindsay Adrian Peterson Marlon Mack Ito Smith

I would love to just invest it in stocks, but I'm guessing it'll ultimately be invested into our house instead: we have a lot of stuff to purchase for it already, including some eventual repairs.

My comps for each guy's most likely outcome (listed in order of my grades): Burrow: Carson Palmer Tua: Poor Man's Russell Wilson Love: Colin Kaepernick (but a better passing, worse running version) Eason: Stationary Josh Allen Herbert: Poor Man's Jay Cutler Fromm: Matt Barkley Hurts: Poor Man's Mitch Trubisky

That wouldn't surprise me but it's a bummer nonetheless

To be fair, it's probably the worst division in the league in terms of QB play right now. The fact that it's a debate between Darnold and Allen is pretty sad.

Tbf, we don't actually know what he got. There's been three different reported numbers for him. 13, 19, and 24. All are less than ideal but 24 is basically an average score.

If you read the whole thing, it sounds like Brandt is saying his pro comp is a rich man's Dalton and that he thinks Dalton is a good starter and Burrow has the potential to be a special QB.

Big difference between Burrow and Dalton is that Burrow is excellent going through progressions. Dalton is a talented passer but if you take away his first or second read, he's lost. Also, Brandt isn't low on Burrow; he still has him as his #1 QB in the class.
