Ojabo or Jameson. I think after the dust settles, those are 2 of the 6-7 guys in this draft that will end up top end players. The only reason there’s any chance of getting them is the recent injuries…and both injuries were labeled as “clean” with thought of both players having full recoveries after rehab.

I’d probably die of a heart attack if we found a way to get both without using picks from this year.

Ideal first 3 rounds of the draft for me:

1a) Ojabo
1b) Jameson Williams
2a) Sam Williams/Cam Thomas
2b) Travis Jones
3a) Calvin Austin/Sky Moore
3b) James Cook

Kelce and Thornhill were great values because of that.

They also weren't 1st round picks, though...

For Jordan Davis, yeah. He's going to be a wrecking ball, he's going to have a great year of development with Chris Jones absorbing double teams, he's going to loosen the pressure of needing to have great DEs, and he's going to help the team longterm by giving them cap flexibility and consistency at DT when Jones has to walk.

The pick we'd be giving up is... what? The 30th? The 32nd?

That one selection, if we nail it, does so much to fix this defense right now and long term.

I think Skyy Moore is a solid 2nd-rounder.

There is no guarantee of where we're picking. We have a gauntlet of a schedule and the AFC West has all improved. Trading away our first round pick would be dumb.

Exactly.

So long as we have Mahomes, we're finishing at least at 26 or 27, somewhere in there.

Absolutely.

I’d probably entertain using the extra 3rd next year -at MAX-if someone falls that Veach wants to go get.

Even that, I’m not a huge fan of without a name a masochist Ed with the conversation.

Another guy I'd be happy with in the 3rd round is Isaiah Thomas, DE out of Oklahoma.

Yep. He'd be perfect to pair with a guy in the 1st or 2nd, whether it be edge or DT.

Can’t remember who it was that said they were wondering how good each Georgia DL is bc they all were together.

Think you could make a case for OU too. Thomas, Winfrey and Bonito

LMAO....that was me.

The difference is that the Georgia guys are being looked at as top 20 picks. The Oklahoma guys are all 2nd to 3rd round picks.

I don't have a problem taking a DT, but you need DE's to rush the passer. It's much easier to block a DT, there's just more bodies in there to throw at them.

We need youth and athleticism at DE.

Another difference is a national championship… ;)
