If they end up with those Jets seconds, I'd look to move down with a team with multiple 2's. Having 5 second rounders in this draft is a nice easy way to stock the cabinets while you work your way out of cap hell.
Do it for Chuck

Have to think his 1st round prospects are starting to fade if this back injury is serious.

MLF watches these highlights when his wife isn't in the mood.
5:15 is his favorite part. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they target this guy

Yeah at this point drafting an Iowa TE has like a 90% hit rate. I think LaPorta or Kuntz in the 3rd or 4th round respectively would be solid picks if we don't draft any Washington, Kincaid, or Mayer early.

I like Musgrave a lot too.

This draft is so deep at TE that I think it makes sense to double dip and take two this year. I'd be thrilled if we come away from this draft with two of the following:
- Darnell Washington
- Dalton Kincaid
- Michael Meyer
- Luke Musgrave
- Sam LaPorta
- Luke Schoonmaker
- Tucker Kraft
- Zack Kuntz
Since the Te depth is so deep, I think it makes sense to use two picks between rounds 2 and 4. Save the first rd pick for another need position where depth isn't as great.

Re: 2023 NFL Draft Discussion - Bears Trade #1 to Panthers for DJ Moore + 4 Picks
I still like Washington the most purely based off his massive size and strength as a 6th OL and the fact he has 4.6 speed and elite short area burst and agility.
If you draft him and he has a Gronk like impact on the game and plays for 10 seasons, that’s a grand slam. I’m not mad if we take a swing like that.
Kincaid, Mayer, LaPorta, Musgrave all would be solid picks in the top 100 or so…. Washington Kincaid and Mayer are probably all top 40 picks so you either take your guy at 15 or trade back for more picks or look elsewhere…. Tough spot to be essentially. Gutenkist is gonna earn that paycheck this draft.

He’s a beast with a relentless motor but he’ll never play with his hand in the dirt at 239lbs in the NFL. Does he do anything else besides rush the passer? Would hate to use 15 on a situational 3rd and long specialist which is where I see him projecting at.. Bruce Irvin comp?

Re: 2023 NFL Draft Discussion - Bears Trade #1 to Panthers for DJ Moore + 4 Picks
PFF updated their 150. Some notable ones.
4. QB WILL LEVIS, KENTUCKY
5. QB C.J. STROUD, OHIO STATE
6. QB ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA
They're really going to ride with this Levis train.
10. WR QUENTIN JOHNSTON, TCU
13. DI CALIJAH KANCEY, PITTSBURGH
15. TE DALTON KINCAID, UTAH
16. CB DEONTE BANKS, MARYLAND
Kancey makes a big jump. Banks too.
26. OT BRODERICK JONES, GEORGIA
Fifth tackle. A little low.
28. TE MICHAEL MAYER, NOTRE DAME
38. LB DAIYAN HENLEY, WASHINGTON STATE
49. TE LUKE MUSGRAVE, OREGON STATE
69. TE DARNELL WASHINGTON, GEORGIA
Not as high on Washington as other places.
72. CB KELEE RINGO, GEORGIA
76. WR JALIN HYATT, TENNESSEE
Ditto for Ringo and Hyatt.
113. S JL SKINNER, BOISE STATE
Seems low for the ultra-sized safety.
145. LB NOAH SEWELL, OREGON
Sewell is only 20 years old and seems like he'd be a good gamble from the 3rd round on.
148. TE ZACK KUNTZ, OLD DOMINION
Mike Gesicki was a 2nd rounder and Kuntz is his twin.

Sounds like an improved version of Tariq Carpenter - a Biasaccia favorite.

Been one of my favorite safeties that I've been mocking to the Packers over the past month. Good write-up on him.
