Antonio Gibson has become my 4th round draft crush.

I don't think Veach would take him in the 3rd but man he presents some fascinating wrinkles for Reid to work with.

I kinda think you need to be at 240 or above to be a true 4-3 Mike. And I think you need to be at 225 to be a Will.

Obviously that's a rough guideline but it's not a bad proxy for functional strength.

In my attempts to justify why I continued to prefer Queen to Murray I've decided I don't anymore. They're just different players and I like 'em both equally. If they're both there I think I'd probably lean towards Murray at this point because I think he is a little more versatile.

So if Murray, Queen and Delpit are there at 32. Who are you taking?

He sounds like the perfect RB for this offense.

[The Franchise]

1. Grant Delpit, S
2. Robert Hunt, OG
3. Logan Wilson, LB
Use your 5th to trade up in the 4th.
4. Antonio Gibson, RB/WR

Fill in with some UDFAs and run that shit back.

I heard that Gibson is getting a lot of hype from inside the league and has propelled himself from 3rd rd to late 2nd. I’ll have to find the tweet, but it said everybody loves this kid.

Maybe that could be our guy at 63? Just don’t see him being there at our pick in the 3rd.

Bob McGinn likes Zach Baun but not in the first.

The fact that we go 32 makes the pick in the Bleacher Report mock make more sense though.

Zack Baun, LB, Wisconsin
(6 foot 2 ½, 238 pounds, 4.68 seconds in 40)

Played at Brown Deer. “Love that guy,” one scout said. “That guy’s a football player. He can rush. Those 3-4 teams are going to eat him up so fast. I think he can play stack, too. He’s smart. He’s tough.” Redshirted in 2015 as an OLB after playing quarterback as a prep. Missed three games in 2016 with left knee cartilage damage and a left high-ankle sprain, then all of ’17 with a Lisfranc tear in his left foot. Started every game the past two seasons, finishing with 15 sacks (12 ½ in ’19). “He’s a good third-round pick,” said another scout. “He might go higher than that. He’s borderline too small to be a 3-4 outside backer. He’s tough and has good strength for a guy his size. Scouts have written him as a Sam, a Will and a Mike because he’s instinctive.” In basketball, led Brown Deer to a state championship as a junior. Chose an offer from Wisconsin over one from South Dakota State. “I worry about his tight hips and movement to play in space,” a third scout said. Scored 24 on the Wonderlic intelligence test. According to reports Tuesday, Baun notified all 32 teams that he tested positive for a diluted sample at the combine. He blamed it on drinking too much water for weight-related weigh-in purposes. Under the NFL’s new collective bargaining agreement, it will not count as a strike against him as it would have under the league’s old CBA.

Projection: Second-round pick.

edit: lol he says again that he is borderline too small

DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!!!!

Honestly, if I were actually in the room and it's my job, reputation and livelihood on the line, I'd probably chicken out and go with the super high character guy w/ the high floor and obvious position.

So I'd go Murray.

I'd probably hate myself for it because I think there's a real chance that Delpit could be the bigger difference maker. Queen is the same story but w/ a more obvious starting role at the Will.

But everything about Murray just seems to lock into place so well. Leadership, coachability, size, athleticism, versatility (both positional and tools) - He may not check every box the boldest, but he checks EVERY box.

I find myself in a very odd spot in this draft - I almost always favor upside, especially early in rounds. But for whatever reason in virtually all these analysis, I've been leaning towards the higher floors.

I would probably take Queen, love the upside, youngest player in the draft with a ton of tools and I trust our coaching staff to get the most from him.

Murray isn't some bum, his peak is DeMario Davis, that dude is an all pro.

[Kiimo]

Well it makes sense, we just won the SB, we don't need a lottery ticket with high upside in this draft we just need to not miss.

[O.city]

The thing with Murray is that he could be the potential 8 year anchor in the middle of your defense ala Luke Kuechly.

[Kiimo]

I mean I highly doubt Murray will fall to us but if he did I think I'd want him too

[The Franchise]

Wonder if Veach will trade up for Murray or Queen if they’re there in the 24-26 range.

Probably take next year's 2 to get any meaningful traction. I'd rather keep this year's 2 and 3 given the depth of the class.

I'd probably just spin the wheel and take my chances, though. With so many good CB options and even possible DE guys that could slip, your consolation prize is likely to be pretty good.
