If I haven't said it... I like Tyler Batty in the later rounds for an edge player. He's heads up, he's 6'5" 275, a vicious hitter, and while he's not a sack guy... he sets and edge and eats runners alive.

Corbin brought this guy up... evidently a 300lb fullback who can also play edge

List of 30 visits

QB Tyler Shough
QB Jalen Milroe
WR Savion Williams
TE Mason Taylor
OL Chase Lundt
OL Dylan Fairchild
C Jared Wilson
Edge Mykel Williams
DE Princely Umanmielen
DL Ty Robinson
CB Shavon Revel Jr
S Nick Emmanwori


I don't think they've drafted anyone recently without an official 30 visit beforehand.

Any of these names excite you? Any you find disturbing??

Ngl the prospect of Milroe worries me.

haha I came to see if you had complained about Milroe yet.

I mean for me I don't like this list, plenty more to add, but the lack of OL is odd, and of the DL that's not a sexy list for me at all. I think I would be pissed if we went with Mykel Williams in the 1st.

Chase Lundt... are they thinking about him as RT or RG? 6'8" 305lb is a bizarre guard size and he lacks traditional length to play tackle where I like Jack Nelson and Holin Pierce better

I think the plan for Lundt is at Guard. I'm sure they're planning to bring in more offensive lineman for a visit.

I personally like Mykel, so I would love that pick. But I think there's a ton of upside there.

Shavon Revel is my CB3. But I don't see him getting out of the 1st Round.

Mason Taylor would also be a great pick in Round 2.

The one name I don't love is Nick Emmanwori. I don't like his film enough to take him in the 1st.

Yeah, taking Milroe would instantly keep me up at night. :lol:

Here's a possible 6th rounder with elite zone running skills, balance, and thump I wouldn't mind

Some good dish from Jeremiah on this Brock and Salk. Seems to share your take on Jihaad

After some thought I think the best-case scenario for them at play is Kelvin Banks. He would be the starter at Left Guard & then could potentially take over at Right Tackle in the future. Assuming Lucas' health remains an issue.

Everyone is mocking Grey Zabel to them, but I just don't see the value being there at 18. While Booker is not a scheme fit.

I could absolutely see Mykel being in the mix, but I have serious doubts he'll last to them. Jadeveon Clowney is a really good comp for him. I'm also really curious if they bring in Donovan Ezeiruaku on a visit. Because I think he's potentially a great fit.

Jahdae Barron also makes way too much sense to not be in the mix. He's basically a Spoon clone. We know how much Mac loves him. Especially with CB being an undervalued need.

I don't think Barron has the same dog that Spoon has, at least by the tape, but for sure his versatility.

I do think Zabel is a reach at 18, but his ability to check off either great guard or nice Lucas replacement will make him a possibility... would just hope that's after trading down later in the 1st with an extra pick in the 50's/60's range.

Zabel doesn't have the arm length to play tackle ("32). Teams view him as either a Guard or Center.

According to Daniel Jermemiah Tate is our ideal run blocking guard. I'd be in at 50 or 52 if he lasts that long.

Yeah I think he has "potential" scouting bust potential... could be good but I am just not feeling it. Rather go for JJ Peguese in the 5th who I think could be a more twitchy and sudden red bryant type.
