I imagine you still want to have an emergency fund for the season in case you have to start signing guys off the street to account for injuries.

Is $5m even enough to sign a draft class? I have to imagine some sort of move to clear space is on the way if that is true.

100% of the reasons that Fant won't be better than Hockenson are about personality, which NFL teams are better equipped to evaluate than I am.

I mean I agree with Mike Leach in that "balance" should be defined by "the 5 eligible receiver positions make an equal contribution to the offense" not "one position gets half of the touches".

I think it's a lot more likely that a team leaked "Sweat has a heart condition" (which sounds real scary) in order to try to precipitate a guy falling to them. I mean, Star Lotulelei had this sort of thing flagged at the combine and he's been (medically) fine for the last 5 years.

Have to figure in the real draft this is where the team moving up for a QB lands. Jets need draft picks more than they need a specific player from this tier, I feel. Still- Williams/Allen/Jawaan.

I have long suspected that Burfict plays football because he wants to hurt people and this is a socially acceptable venue for that. While I acknowledge it's good that he understands, abstractly, that he should not be bodyslamming people in the Kroger parking lot and channels those desires elsewhere, I also kind of don't want that sort of thing on my football team.

Let's also not forget that KC is likely one of the Super Bowl favorites this year. So it's conceivable he's trying to win a ring too (it's more likely in KC than GB in 2019, IMO).

I just figured "0 QBs in the top 11" was an entirely implausible scenario.

Nonetheless they still have to sell tickets in MIami (a city with no shortage of things to do). So I'm not sure that is wise.

I figure in the room here .you would talk about: Ferrell, Hockenson/Fant, Tillery, Bush, and Jonah Williams. Outside chance of maybe Wilkins?

So suppose the Packers are on the clock, the following player are unavailable having been picked in the first 11: Kyler Murray, QB - Oklahoma Nick Bosa, Edge - Ohio State Quinnen Williams, IDL - Alabama Josh Allen, Edge - Kentucky Devin White, LB, - LSU Rashan Gary, Edge, - Michigan Jawaan Taylor, OT - Florida Montez Sweat, Edge - Mississippi State Brian Burns, Edge - Florida State Ed Oliver, IDL - Houston Andre Dillard, OT - Washington State Now the Packers are in prime position to trade 12 for a team looking for a QB, but further assume that the high bidder for the QB is MIami, who picks 13th so the Packers would get extra picks, but the Packers would sit at 13 with extra picks but the same pool of players (minus a QB) available. Who is your preference in this (unlikely but not completely implausible) scenario?

I mean, if you did Draft Burns what to do with him is pretty obvious: when you move Z. Smith inside to rush, put B. Burns on the edge opposite P. Smith.

I think no needs are pressing enough that you must take a specific position high. I mean, we need to add a safety but there will be guys on day 2 who can help. However, that doesn't mean edge is out of play at 12. Quality edge rushers are hard to get and you want as many of them as you can get. I mean, whoever they get at 12 will likely be on the team longer than either of the Smiths.

I figure the proverbial "worst case scenario" is something like: Murray Bosa Quinnen White Allen Gary Jawaan Sweat Burns Oliver Dillard At least you'd be in good position to sell the pick to someone who wants a QB, I guess. But if Miami (1 spot) or Washington (3 spots) are the high bidders I'm not sure who you'd want out of what's left.
