Ya I've immediately become a fan. He reads blitz pickups extremely well as youvsaid his vision and power are insane, very quick off the get up doesnt seem to hold. Sadly I dont think he is a guard and the vikings would be dumb to move Reiff inside, plus the LT talent next year so far seems to be insane, but I wouldnt be upset if he somehow fell and we grabbed him. Thay said I agree he could be a top 10 pick to you guys or a team like the bengals / bills.


I think he's a LT through and through. Sticking him at G would be a downgrade imo, just because he's so natural at LT. I'd have no problems with Dillard #7 and moving Cam Robinson over to RT. A lot of people think Robinson projected better as a RT anyways.

As I said before, I don't want anything to do with Jawaan Taylor at #7. I'd be good with Dillard or Jonah Williams at #7 if we go OL.

I read that Taylor got medical red flagged though and could drop in the draft because of it. Didn't say what the injury was, but apparently he weighed as much as 380lbs while at Florida... He came in at 305 during the combine. But we know how guys will drop a lot of weight, or balloon up for the weigh-ins though. Maybe he could be an option at G/RT for you guys if he falls?

I guess taylor is next on my list to watch, ideally we take a guy who will be able to fit into G with the ability to play LT like williams which we may have to trade up to get, I dont mind Ford either who was a stud RT who can also play guard this year then move to RT next year as we move O'Neil to LT after Reiff is gone. Lot can be done we need Oline help badly pretty much. Guessing either Oline or Dline in the first two or three rounds. As my wishlist wpuld be cool if williams fell to us then we use a 4th to trade back in the first and grab Simmons and let him heal for the year

You literally know nothing about football, you live in Washington and think you are a die hard jaguars fan just to try and get peoples attention. Every mock draft in the world has Jawaan Taylor going #7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor screams RT mainly, but I could see him playing RG in a power scheme. I think he'll struggle in pass pro, but he should be solid in the run game, considering that's suppose to be his game lol.

I haven't watched Ford, so I can't really comment on him.

Simmons will be an interesting player to watch going forward. Top 10 talent at DT, but his ACL injury will drop him. I don't think his off field issue will be too much of a concern. It happened in 2016 and he was defending his sister. It wasn't a good look on his part and he went a little extreme, but you can kind of get it, if you know the story. It'll be interesting to see how far he drops in the draft. I know the Patriots need a TE, but Simmons is the exact kind of prospect they'd take a flyer on with their pick at the end of the 1st.

You guys would likely have the choice of the top C at 22, but its hard to say. Would you be upset if they took Metacalf, or some other WR at 22? There's a pretty big drop off at LB after White and Bush.

I would rather trade down than take any WR tbh. Of course, it takes two to trade.

That WR from ASU reminds me of Jordan Matthews. I'm lower on him than most. Metcalf is enticing, but the bust factor scares me. We are just horrible at drafting and developing WR talent, so I don't trust this team to get the best out of Metcalf. Either way, I would want to trade down before considering him.

I bet our FO will trade down and then take some position we don't need, making everyone go wtf.

I like N'Keal Harry (the ASU WR), but I see where you're coming from. I don't know if he'd be worth the 22 pick, but it all depends on the need/scouting I guess. I see some Allen Robinson in his game and maybe that's why I like him.

WR Miles Boykin is a guy I'd like in the 3rd/4th round. No clue if he'll last that long, but he's very interesting as a prospect.

RB Devin Singletary is one of, if not my favorite player/s in this draft. I wish/hope we draft him in the 3rd/4th round. I think the 3rd round is probably his floor though, don't think he'll last into the 4th+ rounds. His production at FAU and his game cut-ups are unreal. Dude is such a pure runner with the football. He's fun to watch.

The more I thought about your guy's pick at #22 and your needs, I'd wonder if Brian Burns would be that pick (if he's there of course). He's a true pass rusher, but played around 235lbs this past year at Florida State. He's tall and long, just shy of 6'5 and nearly 34" long arms. Weighed in 249 at the combine and I've seen some comparisons of him to Ngakoue and Leonard Floyd. He's more explosive than both of them, but he's considered as just a DPR at this point in time, just like they were.

I really like WR AJ Brown also. I like him more than Metcalf honestly (they were teammates). Brown is more of a complete receiver than Metcalf and I'd be surprised if Brown lasted beyond the 2nd round. Wouldn't be surprised one bit to see him go in the 1st. He has great body control. Obviously Metcalf has that freaky H/W/S ratio and we all know how the NFL loves those kind of guys.

I was watching some Voch Lombardi and he was high on AJ Brown. Seemed like an all-round reliable receiver. Maybe he's someone who gets overlooked kind of like how Deandre Hopkins got overlooked the year he came out.

It was sort of a joke/meme among fans, but I actually wouldn't rule out drafting one of the Iowa TEs lol. I mean it'd be a long shot, but this team loves TEs and drafting positions we don't really need...

There's a lot of people who think that the Ole Miss OC was brain dead and misused all of the talent on Offense. They have 3 WRs and a TE who could all possibly be drafted in the first 3 rounds of this draft. WRs Metcalf, Brown, DaMarkus Lodge and TE Dawson Knox. Knox is slowly coming back from an injury though and that's why people haven't really heard much about him.

Yeah, I've read that criticism. It's part of what makes Metcalf so enticing. He has an artificially low floor due to poor coaching. You don't know if he could read defenses and run smart routes as a pro. If he can, might be a steal. If he can't, he's basically Cordarrelle Patterson.

Buuuuut, after the Perriman disaster, I don't want to gamble on WRs anymore.
