If Big Ben has any doubts about retirement, this draft would probably make the decision for him.

yes I know it’s unrealistic lol but the board really fell this way

The play of Mekari and Powers has really changed how I feel about our draft needs right now

obviously if an IOL is BPA in the first 2 rounds then you take them anyway but as a "need" i think it's a lot lower than before

WR is now, to me, clearly the number 1 need - or receiver more generally

1) WR (receiver - could be a TE if they're a high quality receiver)
2) EDGE
3) DB (safety/nickel/depth)
...
4) OT (depth)
5) IOL
6) DL

Wholeheartedly agree with #1-3. Pitts from Florida is my #SIIE target....fuck it. @JAAM , I don't know how closely you follow prospects, but who are your #SIIE targets?

@rossihunter2 , same question to you as well lol.

Haha I wouldn’t want to ruin the #SIIE vibes lol

and I haven’t even started on the draft properly yet so couldn’t give any sort of wish list opinion yet

I didn’t get in on mims or madubuike properly at least until after the senior bowl

I honestly start to follow prospects close to the combine and watch as much as I can on whomever the board really likes, my #SIIE brother. No targets that I’m enamored with yet, but I do really like Terrace Marshall, who should be there when we pick. When in doubt, take an LSU WR lol

Should do "When in doubt, pick an LSU receiver"

What we will do "Stud WR available, of course we will trade down"

That being said, I trust EDC to find us talented players.

i know Hayden was a big part of our offence in 2019 but the fact that Calvin Ridley was right there when we picked him still haunts me

In hindsight, do you pick Ridley, knowing that you'll likely miss out on Dobbins? Plus, who knows if we draft Hollywood.
I have no opinion - just curious on your thoughts. I sometimes think about if we traded up for Ramsey, then we wouldn't have Stanley and likely, Humphrey.

the difference i suppose is that we didnt have to do anything like a trade to get ridley - just had to pick him

that's a good point about JK - i think we probably still take hollywood (although it seems inconceivable that we'd go 1st round WR 2 drafts in a row - then again we almost did that 2019-2020 with Tee Higgins being the next guy after Patrick Queen on the board) - if not hollywood then im not sure who we'd take - we apparently liked Cody Ford a lot but idk if we liked him at the 25th pick

i love JK but i would 100% take Calvin Ridley in stead of him
