Thanks for sharing!
Turner is light years ahead of Odeyingbo in terms of ability to make a year 1 impact (IMO), and has a higher long term ceiling too. I understand the parameters Nate was trying to operate within, but we would be much better off in this scenario staying put and taking Davis & Turner.
If Veach truly sees the talent falling off a cliff after the 3rd (ie, a 4th rounder this year is a lAte day 3 or UDFA in any other year) then I don’t mind the idea of packaging our late picks to move up... ultimately having as few as 4 picks. It’s risky to have fewer eggs in the basket, but this year is a unique situation. If they just don’t think late round picks have the usual probability to ‘hit,’ swap them for draft capital you think worthwhile. I like Tremble and could get behind that option.
For the 4th here, I love Darden but don’t think he’s the fit we need. Too redundant with Hill and Hardman (IMO). I’d rather take the best DB available at that point - someone like Ambry Thomas, Zech McPhearson, or Divine Deablo.
Not sure I’d call it plan A, but I could get behind:
58. Jamin Davis, LB, Kentucky
63. Peyton Turner, DE, Houston
95-100. Tommy Tremble, TE, Notre Dame
144. Ambry Thomas, CB, Michigan / Zech McPhearson, CB, Texas Tech / Devine Deablo, S, Virginia Tech
