He doesn’t meet the height or weight requirements for a Spags DE, so I don’t think we have to worry about that one at all.

Like I said in the Kiper thread - I'm fine if they do it, fine if they don't.

If they DO make that move, I think it's because they see him as a potential superstar and I'll defer to them on that one. I think they'll be doing it with the right mindset as I think Vatch has learned some painful lessons with stuff like Speaks and Clark.

At that point my only real concern would be the cost of the move. I don't want to be giving up these 2nds and DAMN sure have no interest in packaging the 1sts.

I'm sure you'll hate my idea of trading that 2023 1st round pick to move up for Jermaine Johnson then.

Nah, I'm just making fun of you guys not liking the guys they pick. Just some draft forum fun!.

In fact I do hate that idea. I hate that idea more than drafting Mafe or Ebiketie at 30.

Giving up essentially the same package we gave up to get Mahomes so that we can take the 3rd best DE in the draft and maybe the 5th best DL is...well it's something, I guess.

But I let it slide.

I'd be somewhat concerned that he'd be ready to go for next season and slightly concerned he might not ever recover fully. Some guys don't.

But yes, my primary concern would be the cost. A 3rd and/or 4th? Fine, I don't like it but I can live with it.

A 2nd or 1st? No ****ing way.

You're right. I do hate it. :D

Hey...I'm pretty sure I had you on board yesterday. Don't switch now!

Not to keep bashing Nate Taylor, but if you're trading up to 21, here's how I run it:

1.21 - George Karlaftis
1.30 - Daxton Hill (now don't have to worry about corner or safety as a priority)
2.50 - John Metchie III (or whatever WR you like. Watson. Skyy Moore. Tolbert. Etc.)
2.62 - Sam Williams
3.103 - Jeremy Ruckert or Greg Dulcich or Ottom. There will be a good TE option here.
4.121 - Coby Bryant, CB, Cincinnati (now a "wow" athlete for a CB but a good fit for KC)
4.135 - Braxton Jones or Max Mitchell or similar OT

7ths - lotto pick stabs. Though if Tre Turner is around down there, that's a guy I'd like them to snag.

Maybe I'm just in the minority that doesn't see WR as this gigantic need that requires a trade up in the 1st round.

You're not alone. I'm with you.

I actually really like that draft. I’m higher on Drake Jackson than a lot of folks tho

Juju
MVS
Hardman

Clark
Danna
Kaindoh

They both aren't great but one is definitely lacking in talent more than the other one.

Jackson and Mafe are too similar.

Pair one of those guys with Karlaftis, Thomas, or Williams and I’m fine with it.
