Regardless I'd be damn happy to have any of them here. 37 minutes ago, CBears019 said: With everything about Carter as it is - what’s the earliest you would feel comfortable drafting him? Idk simce im not looking really in depth but ill guess the 15-25 range atm is where id take a gamble. A trade back to get another pick could soften the blow if he trashes out. The concerns about him staying in shape and all are getting more concerning, and with the legal problems to boot? Top 3 talent but he'd have to impress me with the interview to look his way at 9 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is sad people died in the street racing, but to me that was not an unforgiveable crime and wasn't stopping me from drafting him. But with that goofy pro day, there are a lot of bright red flags. We don't have the inside info. We can't talk privately to his coaches and get real skinny on what kind of guy he is. Maybe he is going through a thing that will pass. If his coaches swear by him (in private) and he swears to me he will work his butt off for me and he sends me training tape of him working out like a mad man daily, I would totally take him. But for us with just media info? We can't intelligently say. Even with all info it's still remains an educated guess on his mental make up. Someone may end of getting steal of draft, but it probably won't be us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was only is if you drafted Paris, it doesn't mean he can't play RT. And it doesn't mean Braxton can't play RT. A lot of times you can get away with playing bigger, slower players at RT rather than LT because vast majority of teams play right handed. So the LT ends up on an island the most. Why fewer RTs can play LT very well. You could play D. Jones at RT for example, but probably not left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was me: both down and back up. I want 3 picks in the 15-50 range. All the draft's talent is there, that's where I want my picks. It's why I was so upset over losing 32 for Claypool.

Why not just trade down somewhere in the middle then and call it even? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardown3231 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 I wonder if Poles would move up, package his 2's to get back into round 1, if they took a DE/DT at 9 and a guy like Jones or Wright fell to the late 20's. He mentioned today "we'll see" about his current picks in the 50's and 60's. We all assume he would go back, but maybe he goes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all assume he would go back, but maybe he goes up i thought about that too, but there are just too many holes to fill to be packaging picks to trade up for one player. i could only see that if he manages to trade back from 9 and accumulate more in the meantime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
