I really like the idea of Verse in a trade down.

I think at some point, you've got to move past the Money Ball approach to roster building (there is a time and place for it) and focus on acquiring playmakers. Swift's versatility is super exciting and having two quality backups will be necessary in an NFL season. With the amount of cap space they h...

Talk to me about his shoes, @docc ... perhaps a nice raffia sandal?

I just can't believe they traded Justin before they could invite him to the STH Draft Party.

I have too many bad memories of Chris Williams and Kevin White .... if the medicals aren't pristine, I'm passing in the first round (Latu and Newton are my concerns). Separately, Trevor Sikkema of PFF was on with the CHGO crew yesterday and he loves Newton. A Top 10 pick for him. I've not heard anyo...

Rams could use a few pieces on the defense side of the ball. If a trade down for Verse is a consideration, not sure you want to go past the Rams.

Murky medicals, primarily. Had a foot injury that can sometimes become chronic.

Over the weekend I looked a lot at the WRs I do like him a lot more now.

Soak it in, Ark!

I'd love a scenario to move back from 9 about 5 or 6 spots, get a R2 in the 40s, for example: Raiders pick at 13 and their R2 at 44. I would, too, but that requires some luck. By (original) trade chart 9 to 13 is only worth their R3. You'd have to go back 10 spots for it to be worth 44 Standard dis...

I always like to spot the unusual names in the Beast by Dane. One of my all time favorites was Wesly Mallard of the Oregon Ducks. This year, it has to be either Storm Duck of Louisville or Level Price of Montana State or Andrew Bloodsaw of Clark Atlanta. And we can only wait until next year when Ge...

Then I go Jared Verse and Ricky Pearsall, or one of the Texas WRs (who I don't expect to be there at 44).

TE Ben Sinnott of K-State visited HH today.

We all know RIcky Pearsall is the Answer - let's just admit it and move along.

For one of the first times since Jim Finks ran the Draft, I have faith in the person who is making the decisions. So I'm excited and super curious at what he's going to do at 9.

Well, off-season program starts today ... so unless Keenan is wearing a blank jersey, we'll have our answer very soon. I dont think he will be in a jersey til after the draft. HRS's post in the other thread says the first phase is meetings and strength and conditioning/rehab for 2 weeks. I dont thi...

If you truly have the opportunity to draft a Defensive Game Wrecker at 9 at WR - you take him. If Poles Plan works - you won't be drafting anywhere near 9 again for a really long time, so to get that shot for a true blue chip player - now is your shot. My only concern is I'm not too sure Odunze is &...

I know the writer is evaluating rookies based on their college performances and projecting that talent to the pros. But it's like comparing apples to oranges, not valid comparing pros to undrafted rookies. More like comparing apples to howler monkeys. There just isn't a logical way to do this exerc...

I'd bet a hefty sum that Guyton goes on Day 1. Barton is a maybe, as his arm length probably pushes him inside, but his athletic testing would suggest he's got loads of promise there. I'm guessing Barton ends up at C for whoever drafts him, and he goes on to have a Pro-Bowl level career. As a C pro...

JC Latham getting a lot of Top 15 buzz.

Steve Smith, the perennial All Pro and future HOFer, evaluated the top 3 WRs. He says Odunze is talented but didn't have to fight for the ball and win outside overly much playing against weak Pac 12 defenses. He does say this is a skill which can be learned. Haven't read anything from him regarding...

The question becomes though, why is Verse the same age as Latu? Latu missed two years of football because of that retirement. What's Verse's excuse?

Redshirt and Covid canceled season at Albany, then transferred to FSU.

you have a lot of old prospects this year due to COVID and NIL

Johnny Knox wore 13 and he was a good player until that horrible injury.

But yeah, tough to see 13 on the Motion from Goshen - what a bad day that was when we traded for him.

Non QB Dante Pettis was an 18.

The shame in all of this is that it keeps shovels from going into the ground. It will be another year until there is a "deal" in place regardless of the site - and probably 18+ months until they start the build. Meaning you are looking at 2028 .... at the earliest.

Steve Stenstrom
Kyle Orton
Did Paul Justin (Schaumburg HS) wear 18?

that's all I got ....

Like when people put a B on their Cutler jerseys for Kevin Butler.

Yes and No .... either way, you need rotational bodies at 3T with Justin Jones going to the Cardinals. While I don't think 3T is the right move in round 1, later names we should consider are My Guy FSU's Braden Fiske, Clemson's Ruke Orhorhoro, Ohio State's Michael Hall Jr, and LSU's Tooka Smith (fi...

Let’s take 40s out of it..Some guys play faster than their 40 would indicate, like Keon Coleman this year. On tape, he plays much faster than a 4.6 guy. I see the opposite with Rome, he doesn’t play like a 4.4 guy IMO. My top 2 WRs last year were Zay Flowers and Jordan Addison. Loved em both and wa...
