Well, If Jihaad Campbell, Colston Loveland or Kelvin Banks is still on the board, you take him!! :wink:

It would be really hard for me to pass on Loveland tbh. He's a blue-chip caliber talent in my eyes.

But if those three names are off the board, I don't hate the idea of trading back & taking Zabel.

Mykel Williams will get taken early. He won't be an option.

I really dislike the idea of taking a Safety early. So, hard no on Emmanwori.

Unless Will Johnson falls to you, I don't think Corner should be a priority either. I'm hearing that Barron could end up going top 10.

The stats are so good on Safteties early vs every other position, I would if you like Nick, but I've also heard stiff and could see them passing on him.
Loveland IDK... but Klint loves him some TE's so maybe

My gut says they take Mason Taylor or a WR like Noel with one of their picks.


Depends on if they are looking to move Grey over to C or not. I'd rather get Tate Ratledge or Jonah Savaiinaea and one of the right receivers or TE's... still Like Fannin Jr. I wouldn't mind adding Alfred Collins, or one of the two fits at Safety either, though I like Hunter Wohler's later round value and his play style.

I'd be good with either Ratledge or Savaii.

I'm really hoping that someone like Ezeiruaku falls. I'd even consider moving up for him.

Emmanwori...

Hopefully there's a run on QB's. Which pushes some guys down the board. Best case scenario.
