1. Yeah I imagine someone is gonna reach on a qb like every year.
2. Okay you're selling me well there.
3. Interesting.
4. See I've heard he is on the same level as fournette - not sure where. I just can't imagine that talent going day3. All it takes is one team to say f it and pick him. I think he's an early day 2 pick. As long as his interviews and stuff went wellish and by that I mean he doesn't give the perception he will be in trouble with the law again. Last year, tyreek hills case only helps him. Every team is wishing they had taken the chance on hill now and the public loved him even with his history. I see the teams basically saying 'if he helps us win, we can overlook this'
5. Seems like not a huge asking price for Sherman. What're teams that seem like good fits / have cap room? My first thought is the cowboys. Dak on a rookie contract and romo/free retiring id imagine they have some cap but I don't really know. They lost a couple corners in free agency this year too.

A second for marshawn isn't happening... is it? A guy who didn't play last year and was hurt most of the year before. Older guy... and from what it sounds a good rb class. Seems more like a 5th or 6th pick to me but I dont seem to ever get the values on draft picks right.


But here's the thing with the Hill/Mixon thing, if they go out there and don't perform, you get all the scrutiny kind of like the Boys with Gregory. "You knew he was trouble but you wasted a pick anyway, blah blah blah" bullshit. Teams will avoid it. Someone will take him, I just don't believe it'll be before round 4. I won't be surprised if someone pulls the trigger sooner, but I don't expect it.

Cowboys have next to no chance with their cap situation for Sherman and a second for lynch is steep and won't happen but if they move Sherman, let Lynch come back and hold all the cards, you never know.

Marshawn could probably fetch a 4th.

Asking price for Sherman is massive, especially considering the CB strength of this draft class. Why trade a first+ for a guy at 29 with attitude questions and a big paycheck when you can roll the dice on a promising younger guy with no questions about behavior, more years to play, and a lower cap hit? If this were a draft with fewer CBs who look good, you'd have a stronger case.

That being said, I also see the Cowboys as a good destination for Sherman, but I don't know if their cap situation can make it work.


Same as above, Cowboys have next to no chance even without Romo. They COULD make it work, but it's doubtful.

I don't follow other teams draft needs but I know this is probably what the worst offensive line draft class in 5+ years?

I don't think the Seahawks touch one until the 3rd round.

Seahawks need DB/CB, D line, and WR depth before touching anything else honestly


Easily one if the worst ol classes in awhile. And it's not that there's no talent, there's just no elite talent OR any real LT prospects.

No Joe Mixon?


Above. Too risky imo, teams avoid drama with early picks, or try to for the most part. He'll get drafted on day 3 imo unless he convinced teams that Greg Hardy isn't his idol.

Lynch would fetch a 5th from the Raiders, and then maybe swap 4ths.

Sherman being traded could work nice for Seattle but if they don't get a 1&3 it's not gonna happen. Maybe do something like 1st, swap 3rds, and a 4th.

How on earth are you guys getting the impression that Lynch would fetch anything above a 6th or more realistically a conditional 7th round pick. He was a plodding power back who was oft-injured when he retired, and given his age, you have to assume a steady rate of decline for next year. Not to mention this is a very deep draft class for RBs. You can probably find a comparable short-yardage back in the late rounds of the draft, considering they aren't in very high demand.

Name. Draw those crowds to Oakland while you can. Do a little damage control.

I don't think a second is a realistic thing, was kinda just throwing whatever out there but a late third or swapping a third and fourth or something is entirely possible.

Also, Brian Hill, RB, Wyoming is the name you're looking for. Guy is going to be a steal in the later rounds.

A late third is utterly absurd.

Also, Kareem Hunt is the name you're looking for. fuck your guy

Didn't know he was projected to go that high. There's like 10 RBs ahead of him on most people's big boards.

Eh I see him in like the 7-10 range personally and if the big 3 go round one, I can't imagine the next 7 or so won't go day 2.

I don't quite understand that reasoning... 3 RBs went on day 2 last year.

Hunt seems comparable to some of the day 3 prospects from last year. Guys like Dixon, Booker, Howard...

A 4th would likely be the most. 5th onward is also reasonable.
