NFL Draft

[johnlimburg]

If Tua or Herbert drop a bit, this could be the story.

I really think so too, and a dark horse, the Saints. The Saints have one quarterback on their roster, Brees, they are one pick behind New England, so either could jump if one of the quarterbacks fall. And if any of them make in past 6, which I doubt, then they could sit around for a bit. Who is taking quarterback between 7-17 ? Jacksonville and the Raiders at 9 and 12 ? Not there, I don't see that. So I think if any make it past 6, I think New England or the Saints are coming and would need to get ahead of Miami, Jacksonville, and Las Veges at 18, 19, and 20, because these teams can't pass up quarterback twice. Either way, I see no chance the top quarterbacks make it past the 20th pick.

I have a bet with a buddy that Tua falls out of the top ten. I think he falls myself, his fragile injury history should scare all teams looking for a QB

Don’t call him “fragile” or associate the word with him. He’s a warrior and took some bad hits.

While is it possible that the top receivers are gone by 15, it's more likely than not that one of them will fall to 15. I'll be very surprised if we don't walk away with one of the best receivers in the draft tonight. If the philosophy is to outscore the Chiefs, then you have to get playmakers on the field that are better than what we have now.

We will have a shot at a top guy, I can't see 4 of them going in the top 15, but will that fourth available guy be significantly better than a guy you could trade back and get, if receiver is the top guy ? Was doing some reading on Mims, haven't watched any of these guys, and he sounds more intriguigin to me than the Bama boys.

The other minor story is how little most of us talk about Joe Burrow. Going #1 for so long, he almost becomes secondary.

It will be interesting to see if he is truly the impetus for a competitive Bengals team.

I think you might have just sold me!!!! But I do get that he is a tough young man.

[L.M.]

About what time are the Broncos picking, any guess?

[samparnell]

I think juedy goes to the jets

At #11? Maybe. Talk has been about them taking a Tackle.

Mims is good value at a late 1st, early 2nd. However his route running and drops/targets are not as good as Jeudy and Ruggs by national consensus. He's good, but he's a risk just like the Alabama receivers are as well.

Twelve, including four sixth rounders.

He broke his nose on his hip? Didn't he have a facemask?
