Ok so I'm new (kind of) formally known as Riegn Blood...Lol grrr this is my top 8

The first pick at # 8 for us is what happens before us obviously but let's take a look at her plz...

So Burrow is written in stone and the Redskins are dumber than Haskins to trade out or to not take Chase.

The Lions must either be a winner finally or draft for the future. I say they trade down. I say the Dolphins swoop in like a chicken on a cockroach and offer a package. They grab Tua.

At 4...
The Giants stay since the two best qb prospects (lol) are off the board. They pick Wrifs

At 5. Lions... they always screw it up so I'll say a Wr. Nope ....Lol since traded down they can grab another great player down the line. Brown .. Auburn

At 6

The Chargers. Hummm

Herbert

7. Panthers. I actually see them trading down. Three of the QBs off the board with so much need like every team in the top ten? A trade with Denver.the GM never has traded down but hey this is my mock. Denver...Ruggs

8. The Cardinals licking their chops.

I'd take him.

I think my rank would be.. 1. Brown 2. Simmons 3. Okudah 4. Wills 5. Lamb.. I've got to think one of them would be there.. I'll be happier the closer to 1... but I doubt the top three will be there.. I don't think I'd pick Wirfs who just looks like he could be a miss..Becton same thing.. Thomas just seems blah to me but would probably be my number 2 choice on Oline.. we have always missed on the potential picks.. lets just pick the most solid in College..

I would love Okudah but no way he is there at 8.

Alford has proven to be inconsistent, yes.

No, dude has not played a down for us yet and the year he was with the Falcons he was playing through injury. Does that mean he's any good now? Who knows but he's sure not worth any late round pick in a trade which might fair better if he does pan out and you sure the hell do not trade Peterson do you :)

The biggest question mark with Alford is..........? Can he get back to the way he played during the Falcons run to the SB? You're exactly right, he dealt with nagging injuries in 2018 so his play slipped & they let him walk. Unlucky for us, he got hurt again & we never got to find out. Talk about bad luck, how much better could we have been in 2019 if Alford & Gilbert didn't get injured, plus Philon didn't do the stupid thing with the stripper? I'd like to think 1 or 2 more wins but who knows? Water under the bridge now.

As we get closer, I'm more comfortable taking Okudah if he's there. I was against taking him in the same sense I am a WR now, like you know, but free agency positioned us to be relatively level. In a world where we're discussing taking a WR because Fitz might retire, Kirk is somehow bad in the eyes of others, and we're not going to bother developing any WR we've drafted in the past few years, I'll take a guy who can contribute to an aging CB corps.

I will say this. I would have a big Cheshire Cat grin seeing Alford, Okudah, Murphy and Peterson back there against the likes of freaking Goff, and Jimmy G is better but no world beater... Wilson, that's a different story but we have Squeak and will let the chips fall then where they may :)

Not unless your HC is BB.

I initially had Brown to the Lions, but I’m hearing they’ve cooled because he’s basically just an anchor tackle. I’m hearing Okudah from several directions.

Lots of Herbert > Tua talk going around.

I don’t think it will affect our situation much as my guess is 5/6 go Tua/Herbert in either order.

I think Tua is going to fall. Several injuries and surgeries in his college career and if he can’t get exams by a team doctor there is no way I’d take him.

His predicament could shuffle this draft in a different direction.

I’ve never heard anything but Okudah to the lions. He’s been linked to them since day 1

I'm in no way advocating taking him, but man, I'm gonna be bummed if he does fall and watch him go past us. I'm a big fan of the guy and couldn't have imagined a world where we'd ever have a shot.

Happy with Kyler too - I just think Tua will be great and some team is gonna get a future star.
