Troy fautanu dude, that guys a stud through and through, it’s just how capable of a NFL OT is he? I’m told otherwise by some posters but to my eyes, the Odds are his best position is G, and that’s not to say he isn’t OT material, just that you gotta ask if you’re losing some real quality output by putting him at T instead of G.

I also like Kingsley saumataia

i do think that he may have a higher ceiling at guard for sure
but i like him at LT too

do you have a list of good EDGEs and DBs?

DB there's probably like 5 guys right now who definitely feel like 1st rounders:
Nate Wiggins
Terrion Arnold
Quinyon Mitchell
Cooper DeJean
Kool-Aid McKinstry

Ennis Rakestraw also could be a top 32 type guy

not done much on the safety class yet but a day 2 guy i like is TJ Tampa

EDGE there's a clear top 4:
Jared Verse
Laiatu Latu
Dallas Turner
Chop Robinson

and a clear 5th guy (for me) in Darius Robinson

there's some interesting day 2 EDGE guys to look at and some athletic guys that im sure will go on day 2 that im not so much of a fan of (right now) but Austin Booker's interesting for sure, Jonah Elliss as a pass rush specialist type is quite fun

I say we take best available EDGE/OT/CB/WR

BPA regardless

might not be an OT, could be an OL
looking at the board, seems like WR, OL or DB are most likely but those are also positions that other teams will reach on - idk who that guy is that could fall to us at a position of non-need though...

like to me, it would be unpopular, but worst case is we get to pick 30 and we're in love with edgerrin cooper and while i know that would send ravens twitter and here up in flames, i wouldnt hate it

i dont think it happens (coz i think he's going top 20), but DJ just mocked Amarius Mims to us as a guy who could hypothetically slip down in a loaded class and that would be like a dream scenario - we'll take the guy who falls regardless of position because at the back end of R1, if we get a guy with a R1 grade then we've nailed it - i think it's a really good class at the top so this is not a bad class to have a super late 1st round pick but having R1 type guys fall to 30 in the draft is not super common

my fave receiver we might get is Coleman. If he's there, I want us to take him unless something crazy like fashanu runs a 6 second 40 and drops to us.

Hall of Famer
Nearly $21M for the Franchise Tag on a DT.... obviously we can't afford that but do you think this is what we end up doing with Madubuike or can we reach a long term deal? Got to think someone like Chris Jones who is also a free agent wants to reset the DT market so whatever we may end up paying Justin won't be highest paid for long. Maybe if the Chiefs get a deal done with Jones first, we can use his new deal as a outline for Justin's contract like we did with Hurts' contract being what got Lamar's deal done.
