And only one of those (Cross IMO) is actually going to be a LT in the NFL. Some positions it is hard to justify a top 5 pick, and for me IOL is at the top of that list. I'm not trying to say I hate Ekwonu and Neal either, I just think in strictly a "what would I do" draft, they would be going picks 9 and 12.

That's why I try to loosely keep track of the "experts" that post the initial rumors (easier said than done) to try to figure out who's most reliable with what they throw out there. As one example, the Stingley to Houston rumor I am somewhat buying as possible because it came from someone typically reliable year after year in Pauline, and also what would Houston have to gain by putting that smoke out there (no one's jumping to 2 for Stingley)? I'm still going to mock Sauce there though lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much those teams want to spin things for a certain reason is unknown. 1 year it may be truthful, another year not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw, offensive line wasn't the issue last year--Lawrence just played bad. That is not what I saw. Quick pressure. Contested throwing lanes. Lots of bad up front. Maybe an adult coaching staff could do better with the OL, but I am not sure that is true, particularly when the contracts are not secure for the long term.

I'm not trying to say I hate Ekwonu and Neal either, I just think in strictly a "what would I do" draft, they would be going picks 9 and 12. Ekonwu is so gifted that he can not have a clue what he is doing and hold his own at LT. Teach him how to punch on time and stuff like that and you have yourself a LOT. Or if you believe in Walker Little put him at ROT. But Cam is playing on a tender and the OL needs stability. People are afraid he is Greg Robinson, so it will come down to your interview with him. I think he is smarter and can learn his job. He's not a rookie All-Pro and may not start Game 1, so people would freak if he was your #1 and not starting the first day of camp. I see real risks in Hutch, Walker, Neal, and Ekonwu. None are safe. Sucks to have the first pick this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eh3034 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Daniel Jeremiah's final "top 150" big board was released today. One that really stood out to me was that he has JT Woods at 67 overall. I felt like I was "higher than average" on him when I rated him in the 160s overall. Other than that, I didn't see anything too eye-poppingly shocking.

Forge Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 4 hours ago, MikeT14 said: Based on comments from the Chiefs GM, if they truly only have 1st round grades on up to 18 guys, I definitely think they will be trading up. I had floated 29+30 for 11 (1260 value for 1250) with Washington before (Chiefs could get a WR there that they like), and go from there. I like that move for you guys as well. That gives you a decent window for a wide receiver and (if you dare) a QB. But you could also have a nice group to choose from at linebacker.
