According to a draft value chart that I looked up the #29 and #30 picks are worth the first 5 picks of the 3rd round, but you'd have to throw in a late 4th round pick along with #29 and #30.

For shits and giggles I tried it - don't pay too close attention to the players and THREE pass rushers, I was just flying through. Accepted the best trades I could get.

If you get 7 good years (incl the extension), isn't that good enough? 31 yr old by then, can still contribute, but at 24, he is closer to man strength and may contribute sooner?

I do NOT understand all this hubub this year about guys being 24. Like that's some disqualifying thing.

They're TWENTY FOUR years old. Not THIRTY FOUR.

Who ****ing cares?

You're going to draft them on a 4 year rookie deal no matter what.

WHO ****ING CARES?

Lots of guys went back an extra year because they lost a season to Covid and wanted to try to improve their draft stock, so....

WHO ****ING CARES?

It's not a huge deal but I think people are looking at it from a second contract lens.

If a rookie is 21 when you draft him....you're getting years 25-29 on that second contract. With a guy like Mafe.....his second contract is hitting at 29.

What if Ojabo falls to 50? Would you take him as your first DE selection (assuming 29 and 30 are combo of (S, WR, or CB)?

Good pick from Alabama CB Jayln Armor-Davis. I've bee saying we need a guy with a - in his name.

Gross.

Kiper's final mock posted today:

K Thibs fell to #12

J Will fell to #15

Do we trade up?

Look, if you're LUCKY, that's an issue you're going to have to deal with.

If we win two SB's between now and then, does it matter?

Thibodeaux? Yes.
Williams? No.

Love the player, the leader, the smarts, but not the value. I think you can get a 2-down cover LB with a fourth, even a 7th.

But at the same time, if it’s a hit, that might allow you to get a better 2nd contract.
