lavar703 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Drake Maye at 2 is the easiest pick this team will have made in years. Just take him. Don’t do anything dumb. Don’t think you can get fancy and trade down for a lesser talent. Just take him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do get a bit frustrated when some of these hot take artists and especially the metrics people start to pop up saying stuff like “oh, the scouts have had it totally wrong for years, Penix/Daniels were way more efficient than Williams/Maye this year, and they should be slotted above them.” Wish it was that simple, but it isn’t. Putting aside the age/experience thing, the protection was so much better for those guys, and both of them have at least two (and maybe three) receivers better than anyone Williams/Maye had. Comparing their production — or even their tape — on even footing just isn’t telling the real story when it comes to evaluating them. We’re on the same page.

You gotta take a freaking lineman if you go QB first. Yall want Maye to die back there, keep advocating for not addressing the O-Line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripsean21 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 There shouldn’t be a mock where we aren’t taking Zack Zinter from Michigan. He got hurt your going to get a first round talent/ leader at a tremendous value we need to be the team that selects this guy!!! This team needs tough leaders on the OL he’s def that guy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely would have been my #1 OG in this class, and that includes some pretty good OG prospects (Beebe, Barton, Fautanu, etc). Teams always overreact to current injuries in the draft. He will fall — and he should, but probably not as far as he’s going to. Come year 3 with him, no one will even remember that he was PUP to start his career. They’ll just remember that he’s a badass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy was the heart and soul of Michigan. When he went down it was obvious who the leader of that team was. That is what we need tape as you said was already special. I’m tired of us not taking the highly rated guy with a temporary issue. Yes the Jaylon Smiths and the Marshon Lattimore yes I get it the whole knee bucked around like it was completely gone. But this guy is a tank and he is exactly what this team needs we have too many day two picks not to throw that dart at the board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather draft Donovan Edwards. Edwards is a great receiver like CT & McKissic were and Gibson is. We have BRob & CRod to be the 1st/2nd down & short yardage back, what we need to do is replace Gibson should we lose him or if we choose not to re-sign him. We need that pass catching/3rd down RB/scat back if we aren't going to keep Gibson or if he won't re-sign here. Donovan Edwards is that type of back. Corum is a traditional back with questionable hands. Edwards had 30 receptions this year for Michigan. I think we can get him with the 3rd round comp pick or in the 4th round.
