I'd like to give a green checkmark, but that would depend on knowing Beane will trade up/or back for a third round pick. If they go WR in the first, (assuming Armstead) I suspect edge or S in the second. I just can't see a McD team taking WR back-to-back early.

If you draft him, you have to get an X later in the draft. It's simple as that. I don't think it's an impossible ask, but risky.

I don't think that's a common perception. Folks are imagining an upgrade through the draft, which I don't think is implausible.

We'll see. I think Beane is determined to improve the WR room, and it sure as hell isn't going to happen with free agency.

Alright, I know their proclivities, but 2 D early would be a terrible choice. It's a great year for WR, but not so much if you push it out to day 3 before you take one. I think the odds still favor WR in the first, and if not, in the second.

He doesn't look as athletic as he is, either. He's a stealth fella. Folks think he is just getting by on guile, but they are wrong.

I haven't been following the entire conversation, but I know you are often a contrarian. Does this mean you doubt there is a day 1 or early day 2 pick at WR? I find that very hard to believe.

You think they're only going to carry 4 receivers, or is that Hollins and 2 rookies?

Yeah, I believe he could eventually replace Diggs. I think his ability on the outside is greater than many surmise. I don't think he's just a slot. And as an UGA fan, I saw a lot of him, and I just think he's special. But I would favor Mitchell and Legette, because they are true big X receivers.

Okay, I'm going with a small trade up for Mitchell, or Legette at #28. I am in the minority, and I know you don't agree, but I wouldn't be mad if it was McConkey. I'll be mad if it is Robinson.

Let me push you a little more on this. What are you taking from what you are currently hearing as an indicator of what Beane may be thinking? Do you think Beane stays at #28 and takes the top WR on his board, trades back if he doesn't see value, goes for an edge in a bad year at the position?

I've been thinking he's a solid bet for us at #28. I figure Mitchell could be the choice there, but I'm surprised you are skeptical he will go round 1. I don't want to hear Beane passing on Legette to take a Chop Robinson.

I agree with you, but I'm still not mowing the lawn.

Well, I like Thomas, McConkey, and Mitchell. I was defending McConkey as a fella who could replace Diggs one day. I do think they should look at a big X. I don't see any chance Thomas even slides within trade range. Mitchell would be nice.

Traded back several times, and then back up. Went with where I think the strengths are in the draft, and ignored the ones where I don't think there is value. 36. Xavier WorthyWR Texas 60.

Thomas, Mitchell, and Legette are the WRs I think they should be and are looking at. Thomas is likely out of reach. Mitchell is a maybe at #28. I think Legette will be there. What I can't get is a consistent read on where he is stacking up in the draft. A lot of boards seem to be projecting him as a late 2nd, even 3rd rounder. I don't see that, but I'd like to have a sense of where the consensus on him is among NFL teams. Regardless, I'm taking him over Coleman, and I still think he's a good bet for our pick in the first.

I'm not sure what Sutton's salary is, but I'd rather trade a mid-round pick with Denver, than sign one of the UFAs.

Nope, it's one of the worst positions in the draft. And no to Chop Robinson in the first.

And as it happens, there's very good depth at WR in the draft, and pretty good depth at DT, though not so great at 1T. I think they take WR early, at least 1 S, and 2 DL. I'm sure they'll take a mid-round RB, as well. Personally, I don't like the edge players. Take a flyer late, I suppose, but I would spend my DL picks at DT. Lot of good free agent safeties. I bet you can get someone decent on the cheap if you wait on that. In the draft, I hope they take a UGA safety. Bullard early, or Smith later, though I like that fella Bishop from Utah as well. My spidey sense, which could be way off, is suggesting that Beane may be more aggressive in the first than folks anticipate. I'm not sure he's going to wait at #28 for the sixth WR off the board.

I'll take it.

I'd prefer a trade back rather than taking Robinson, but I suspect McD would prefer otherwise.

I'm not sold on Chop. I don't like it.

Only posting this one because the Titans went bonkers, and I ended up with the first four picks of their 2025 draft. 38. Ladd McConkey WR Georgia 105. McKinnley Jackson DT Texas A&M 127. Tanor Bortolini OC Wisconsin 133. Brenden Rice WR USC 143. Jordan Jefferson DT LSU 145. Tykee Smith S Georgia 159. Jacob Cowing WR Arizona 162. Isaac Guerendo RB Louisville 188. Isaiah Adams OG Illinois 199. Marist Liufau LB Notre Dame 203. Zion Tupuola-Fetui EDGE Washington 248. Jamree Kromah DT James Madison 2025 TEN 1st 2025 TEN 2nd 2025 TEN 3rd 2025 TEN 4th

They for sure are not going to create a hole at LT when they already have a big task ahead of them to field a solid team. I think it means they are going to open up enough space to make a somewhat bigger move in free agency, but even if it's not that, it isn't trading away a key piece of the best Oline you've had in years. Especially after letting Morse go. It makes absolutely no sense.

Better, and polychromatic. I'm an UGA fan, so approve of day 2. How did you get the pick for Van Pran? Be shocked if Thomas falls to 28. Dropped back two spots to regain something close to the lost comp pick value. Not so bad. 30. Adonai MitchellWR Texas 60. Kris JenkinsDT Michigan 102. Mike SainristilCB Michigan 127.
