I think Veach is going to try and trade up for Van Ness or Murphy.

And if they go WR at 31, then I think it's Hyatt.

If the board fell like this, I might call the Saints and see if I could get ahead of the Eagles for Gibbs.

I'd be calling Jacksonville and trying to trade up for Murphy.

Mr. "No RB in the 1st ever" has officially done a complete 180.

At least he isn't trying to trade our entire draft for Brian Burns anymore.

I've always had a real hard on for a RB/WR in this offense. We saw what it can be with McKinnon last year.

I think Gibbs is a supercharged McKinnon for 5 cheap years. I don't really view it as a RB more as a pure weapon that could do what McKinnon and Hardman did.

I've said all along, we have enough needs but none desperate that the odds of there not being a clear 'top of the tier' option available for us at 31 are pretty damn remote.

May be WR, may be OT, may be DE or DT.

But at one of those positions there's going to be a break at or immediately after a player available to us.

I really do think the board will make the pick obvious for us. It's not a given - but I think it's more likely than not.

You're missing the point which is this draft is littered with guys that could become good pass blocking Left Tackles. He's not setting himself apart from the rest of that Tier 3 pack.

In result he could fall because teams simply think they can wait till Round 2 to fill that role.

Not going to guarantee that happens because 95% of this draft will be a total crap shoot but there's some reasons there as to why he could fall. Creed Humphrey was a slam dunk Center from Oklahoma and he slid all the way to the later part of the 2nd round for us. It happens.

Breer was the most accurate in his mock last year of any of the insiders or talking heads, so this mock and Simms definitely hold more weight than most.

Creed was a C though. This is a LT.

The draft is littered with good pass blocking LT's?

Would make sense. Not a lot of WR needy teams and pretty much all the 1st round guys are really late 1st, 2nd round guys.

I heard Chris Simms talking about how he's heard around the league that JSN is viewed by some teams as a 2nd round guy. If that's the case, i really need to trust myself more.

The draft is littered with projects that can turn into good pass blocking Left Tackles.

You missed the point.

Yeah, those guys get drafted high. He's already shown to be a good pass blocking LT at an elite level at a high level college.

If NFL teams think that, he aint' falling to 31. My comment was more toward DJ thinking he's separated himself from that pack. If not, I do agree he could go lower, but I dont' think teams would view him as a legit day 1 LT in that case.

Believe it or not, Left Tackles are also drafted after Thursday night.

Glad I could break that news for you.
