Justone2 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just now, Forge said: The difference in prospect evaluations in this range isn't big enough for me to make a three for one trade. 100%. We have a bunch of holes to fill both for this year and the years after and trading up to the back of the 2nd doesn't mean we will fill a hole like we probably are going to have at RT. Most of our starters are pretty much set but after that we still have a bunch of positions where we either just need better players or just need bodies with the amount of free agents we have coming up. Draft 2/3 safeties and see who sticks next to Hufanga and whoever we either retain or bring in in FA. Bring in some edge guys to compete after Bosa, Jackson and whoever we are able to retain/bring in. Draft a LB, draft a WR or two to compete with Jennings and Gray, grab a CB to compete with Thomas, grab a LB to compete for even the third spot with Burks and DFF. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a little bit of Dallas Clark. I wish he wasn't so much of a body catcher, but he's a good athlete and coming from Iowa, I know that he'll be a willing blocker moving forward (little on the light side, so he may be run through a time or two). But it's time to starting looking into a TE2 and potential long term replacement for Kittle and I think he'll go in rounds 3-4, so a comp 3rd seems about right. Woerner hasn't progressed and I think Dwelley's time is done. I don't think that the ideal situation would be to keep rolling a guy like Kroft in the line up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftn49 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 One of my favorite podcasts, this is more theoretical than anything specific but a fascinating conversation none the less touching on the stars system from high school to college and then onto nfl success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ton of his targets were short passes/dump offs and the red zone was a foreign country to the Hawkeyes. He did still manage to finish 4th among all CFB TEs in yardage this season. I would be thrilled if we got him in the 3rd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be thrilled if we got him in the 3rd I've slowly started building a list of guys that I'm really interested around that area. There is so long to go before senior bowl / combine / pro days so things are going to get far more jumbled as we go. But Laporta is way up there on guys I would like. Luke Wypler. Brandon Joseph. Siaki Ika (not sure that he fits what the defense wants...but I really want a dude like this just to have). Eku Leota. I don't know if I would take him in round 3 because of his age, but I'm kind of interest in Carter Warren as a tackle. Seems like the type of guy that we really like too. Ton of starts in his college career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldman9er Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 2023 GAME ROSTER – NFLPA Collegiate Bowl 2 days to go. I dunno if televised like usual or who most prospects are, but I'm glad I checked the date. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ftn49 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Almost posted this in the Philly game thread butI didn't want it to get buried so I decided to post it here because it has to do with the draft too. But the guys spend a good 20 minutes talking about some very good nuggets regarding Brock. (and parts of an old predraft interview with Brock as well) Edited January 27, 2023 by Ftn49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamq Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 My guess is Chicago will trade back and we will see QB at 1, 2, and then maybe again at 4 to Indy. What order do they go in? Which is your guy's favorite? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chicago trades out of 1, and Houston is determined to get a QB, I think that they would be wise to call Seattle and see if they can flip to 5. Seattle could desperately use Jalen carter, and at 5, Houston would still be guaranteed Levis / Stroud / Anderson / Carter (assuming Young goes 1.1). Seattle has the extra picks from Denver, so it's a good opportunity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamq Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) I like what I've seen from Stroud, but really haven't watched the rest besides Young. Really curious to see how Young measures at the combine.. listed at 6' but he looks so small Edited January 28, 2023 by adamq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 This is a good sign for Brents. He was an older developer (RS junior and senior years) and projects as a zone corner. If he's not getting destroyed in one on ones, he could get some hype as a more versatile corner. But may be available in the third round for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
