McCaffrey is a guy I like. I also like De'Corian Clark; wide receiver with really intriguing measurables out of UTSA.
On defense I'm a Myles Cole fan. I like his build and think he can be a solid rotational player who may go undrafted. Good play strength and solid but unspectacular athleticism. Good motor. The kind of guy that can forge a productive career seemingly from nothing. I also like James Williams as a consideration in the 5th for the same reasons you do.

Clark is a freak athlete. He could go undrafted, because he wasn't invited to the combine. I kinda get BJ Thompson vibes, like if Clark did perform at the combine, some teams wouldn't be able to ignore the numbers. |

Here is another crazy pick.
Joe Milton, QB Tennessee. I have no idea what teams think of Milton. I think he is going to be 24 years old, and he never seemed to stand out in college. I would love to draft him with our last pick, if he was there. As a QB, Andy Reid could turn him into a player another team would throw us a pick for, plus I am sick of old geezer backups. Or, and I want to state ahead of time that I know the player would never go for this, we convert him into a TE. He has an absolute rocket for an arm. Honestly, it may be stronger than Mahomes. Imagine all the double passes good old Nagy could draw up with him on the field. Plus, he is 6'5" and could easily be 250, or maybe more, if he wanted, and he runs a 4.7. Imagine a TE as big as Kelce, as fast Kelce ever was, and he knows how to read defenses, and could easily learn to see defenses exactly like Mahomes and Kelce. I think physically Milton is a lot like Anthony Richardson. He isn't as nimble or even as mobile as AR, and maybe isn't as explosive of an athlete, but he is close. But, maybe he could be a great TE. Or he has stone hands. But it's fun to think about. |

I'll play. OT Christian Jones of TX. 6`5", 317 lbs. Almost 36" arms and over 10 inch hands. Plated LT the last three years after playing LT his freshmen year. Did well at the Senior Bowl. Hoping for a fast 10 yard split and a good shuttle time.

Yeah, he would be a great late round pick. I think most places have him in the late 5th to mid 6th round pick.

I’m not entirely sure where he’d fit in this DB room but I’d love to draft Kitan Oladapo out of Oregon State.

I'm going to give you guys the guy I'd draft that would make most here go "WTF" and then I'll get to some others I'm very interested in that don't get talked about much...
QB Jordan Travis, Florida State... So yeah, I'm kind of tired of recycling shitty journeyman QBs as Pat's backup. I'd rather just have a young guy on a rookie deal with some upside. I think Travis is going around the 4th round and I'm good with that spot. He needs some work but he has a good arm, a really snappy release, and he has some athleticism. Reid could mold this kid into a quality player IMO. Maybe you can flip him later on and repeat the cycle. now a few others... DT Nathan Pickering, Mississippi State... Doesn't get talked about much but he was a really steady, quality player who is probably best as a 1T in our defense. SS Sanoussi Kane, Purdue... Outstanding downhill trigger and the speed to get to the boundary to cut off backs on outside zone from the opposite side of the field. He's best as a box safety/nickel linebacker guy but I think he can play deeper. I don't think he gets enough attention as a late-round type. He'd be a special teams asset for any team for sure and maybe alot more. I think Spags could deploy him in a hybrid role similar to how he used to deploy Sorensen CB Jarius Monroe, Tulane... I think he's going to go alot higher than people think (4th round I'd say) as a safety prospect. Might be an option on the outside but I don't think that's his best spot in the NFL. WR Hayden Hatten, Idaho... Ricky Pearsall-light. Really curious to see how he times. I think he can be a really effective slot receiver though. Reminds me of a few of those small white boys that New England deployed over the years. RB Jaden Shirden, Monmouth... He's just fun to watch house it. I don't know how fast he runs but it looks 4.4s. We'll see how fast that is and how big his hands are. I think he has a shot to be a change of pace back in the NFL. |

McCaffery for sure but I won't spam this section about him.
Another WR I really like Javon Baker. Was an absolute play maker this year hasn't been talked about a ton |

Baker's drops are worrisome and a big reason he's not a 2nd round prospect IMO. Going to be another situation like AT Perry IMO.

Joe Milton III, QB, Tennessee
He's worth a last-round flier. 6-5, 240 pounds. Arm strength is crazy. Accuracy is the question. He has backup potential that we could flip for an earlier draft pick to a QB-desperate team if he flashes at any point. Last edited by wachashi; 02-28-2024 at 09:29 AM.. |

I mean really I'd prefer get him in the 6th or 7th but I don't believe we have picks in either round (though I seen conflicting stuff on the 7th rounder). He's just...a backup. I feel like he will be for a very long time. The issue I see with him as a backup is that he was so up and down. Some games I'd watch him play and think "Man, this guy's a day 2 pick" and then 2 weeks later I'd wonder why he was even a starter at ND. He was damn inconsistent. But the good version of Hartman can play. And as a backup I think he's a safer bet than Milton.

Milton is a long-term project. He couldn't be our backup for another year at least. The guy has very concerning accuracy issues, sometimes because he throws with all gas, and no brakes.
But...6-5, 240, cannon for an arm, runs past people and through tackles when he decides to move. A player like that has the potential to net you some real draft capital in his 3rd year or 4th year if he's shown he can operate with more control in the NFL. I'll bet on Andy's ability to be a QB whisperer with Milton for the cost of a seventh round pick. |

Zak Zinter- If he can come back from his injury kid was a mauler & pretty decent pass protector could be a 10 year starter for someone
