not sure I share the Simpson man crush to that degree. I also think Pappoe is underrated.

Sewell is my favorite considering our run stopping need.

The consensus seems to be that it's a weak LB class. I'm not sure any are really worthy of taking in the 1st round.

What's not to like about this guy in the 3rd or 4th?- violent, sure tackler, gets to the QB, has the ability to cover with good hands, and 6'5" 240

The 3rd Round would make a ton of sense.

I still wouldn't take a LB in the 1st & I'm not a huge fan of Sewell.

Witherspoon is someone I like at 20. He has the best tape among all the CB's. His stock will keep rising. So I'm doubtful that he'll last that long.

would be a great slot guy for us and obviously he destroys people when he gets a shot at them. Weirdly fierce for that size

If we Franchise I think a QB is really in play in the draft, or... it will send that signal so hard that more than one team moves up to grab a QB and we either benefit from the ransom or from having one of Anderson or Carter drop to us.

RB for me Zach Charbonnett at about round 3

IOL:
O'cyrus Torrence could be the call at 20

I'm not entirely sure what to make of Lukas Van Ness (DL-Iowa). His numbers are very good & PFF loves the guy.

I've seen him mocked all over the place.

Was thinking the same... his size is similar to Murphy, numbers were good...

Which draft simulator are you using?

Where are you on Anthony Richardson? In or Out?

I think he'd be a consideration at 20.

In an ideal world, he'll need to sit for a year. Which could work with Geno.

Listened to a lot of O'Line seahawks stuff and the interesting thing about Gabe Jackson and the perception he wasn't a fit was several people like Rob Rang feel like Gabe and O'cyrus are the kind of right guard they want, however Jackson just got old quicker than they thought. I mean they did trade for him, it wasn't even a cheap fa signing.

Richardson is polarizing and so unless cards really found him still there early second and we had scored some great picks in the first that moved the D-Line needle, I'd prefer to wait longer and see if Hendon Hooker isn't there. I get it, Hendon isn't a burly Cam Newton style runner (or even maybe better), but he's a heady Sr with the right size and makeup.

I'm also not a "hell no" on Richardson. just think we have bigger fish to fry and it would have to be a wow value pick later.

Big Board:

1. Jalen Carter
2. Will Anderson
3. Bryce Young
4. CJ Stroud
5. Tyree Wilson
6. Myles Murphy
7. Trenton Simpson (Brooks injury)
8. O'Cyrus Torrence
9. Brian Branch
10. Quentin Johnston
11. Siaki Ika
12. John Michael Schmitz
13. Bryan Bresee
14. Sewell/Sanders
15. Anthony Richardson

I have Ika on there and I hadn't previously realized that Shelby Harris gets star money next year, so with 36 yr old Al Woods, maybe never playing again Mone, and bad fit as 3-4 Nose Tackle Poona, I just think a Ika or Mazzy Smith later are really a must.

Sanders is better in space than Sewell but Noah is a run destroying LB.

Trenton Simpson at 7? I like the guy, but that seems way too high. :wink:

I just don't love this LB class. Taking one in Round 1 feels like a reach to me. But I'm open to it in later rounds. I think they're gonna have to address the spot in free agency.

I'm also not taking a NT in the top half of the draft unless it's Vita Vea. I like Mazi as a target in Round 2. Another name is Keeanu Benton.

No that was my lazy copy paste... LB I think can be had later... Sanders, Sewel, Jack Campbell, Ivan Pace, Overshown, pappoe.

I don't hate this LB class and I would pass on Trenton for many others, but I do think we need two DTs and two LBs min depending on FA, but does this team ever do much in FA?
