Kelce retires and Colston Loveland somehow falls to 31...

[staylor26]

Do you take him?

Man, it would be REALLY tempting. Rice, Worthy, and Loveland? Yeesh. We'd immediately change our overall speed on offense plugging him and Rashee in with X.

Kinda depends what else is on the board for me.

This.

I'm not opposed to any really good prospect at nearly any position.

But if Grant is there? I'm taking Grant. Him next to Jones would wreck souls.

[RunKC]

He’s not falling past Denver or LAC

[Palangi]

Yeah I don’t think it would be a good idea. Offensive line and defensive line. Let’s build where we really need to

[Hoover]

No.

Frankly I’d rather take another WR in the first round than a TE.

[Couch-Potato]

582 yards this season and I’m meant to be excited about taking him in the 1st?

[Chris Meck]

To me, Kenneth Grant is my #1 guy. You pair him inside with Jones an opposing offenses will have no pocket, ever.

For a TE at Michigan? That's like 800 yards. He had around 650 last year. Kelce had like 725 his best season. Maybe stop box score scouting?

He's an easy choice at 31, just don't think he makes it there. At DT, I think we'll be looking at Harmon out of Oregon or Williams from Ohio St. I'd be good with either of those guys too honestly.

[ThrobProng]

Unless there are no reasonable options available, I don't see how the 1st round pick isn't an OT.

[DJ's left nut]

I'll just reiterate that Andy Reid can get about 700 yards out of any pile of shit scrub you put at TE for him.

At this point, I'm more inclined to build this offense around its WR corps. If one sees Egbuka and Loveland as similarly 'ranked' prospects, gimme Egbuka.

I want to see us gravitate more towards a WR-centric passing game built largely on 11 personnel with a faster RB in the backfield designed to keep safeties honest.

[Dunerdr]

Unless a tackle or the top RB is there I think I do. I keep seeing mid round tight ends that don't really wow picked for us just for the sake of backfilling a tight end and I don't like it. I'd be interested in a premiere tight end prospect. Those wont be falling to where we pick very often. We cant have enough pass catchers on rookie deals right now. We've got two good receivers and the way I expect the board to break probably doesn't drop another one to us at 31.

I just think we tend to fall into the "Nobody will be available" trap sometimes.

I think someone will be there that we like quite a bit.

It could be Loveland. It could be Conerly. It might be a corner like Jahdae Barron. Maybe it's Grant at DT or Golden at WR.

This doesn't feel like the FAU draft where I just didn't see shit I was going to be happy to get (well, JP Jr seemed the obvious fit, but we had some CB depth at the time). And maybe it WILL be Omarion Hampton, but I wouldn't hate that decision either.

I think we'll have some nice choices available to us.

It's highly unlikely that a game ready OT is there at 31.
