The Kinda Early Draft Thread

[AnonEmouse]

I don't envy AP after this season. Most of us can be sensible with expectations (as can hopefully Harris), but a lot of the fan base is going to expect a trip the NCCC at least. It's entirely possible, but there are some fundamentals we have to address. As yesterdays games will attest, in this day and age you need a top QB, a top D and a good to great OL. We only check one of those boxes. With AP's choices in FA we exceeded expectations because he went out and got leaders and team players. I expect more of the same in FA, and while I don't have an issue with signing Higgins, I doubt it. AP doesn't look like a guy that will suddenly chase a big FA instead of building in the draft.

So I think he'll stick at 29 and go for an edge rusher. We need someone to help the DB's out and contain the likes of Hurts and Barkley. Then we address CB or OL with the next picks depending on BPA. I also want a fast RB too, as we'll likely retain BRob, but he's not that guy. I wouldn't be averse to trading down if the right package was on offer (someone chasing a low 1st round QB?) but I don't see that happening. Lets continue to reinforce the D and protect the QB, the rest will follow.

Shouldn’t we also have a free agency thread?

Someone will start one eventually.

Free agency threads are fun but not simulated mock draft thread fun.


Graham falls all the way to 29 in this one. I love Judkins. Brooks would a steal at 207.

Since we gave a 5th rounder for Debo; we need to trade down from either our first rounder or 2nd rounder, to pick up more picks.

If and only if there isn't a need when we get to 29. There's every chance one of the leading OT's or DE's will be available, even a CB. All are needs, and you don't trade quality for quantity in this league. AP will line up his FA and draft ducks in a row and see which ones he can pick off before the draft. If we trade down it will be because the guy they want isn't there or they filled the need already; if he trades that pick before draft day I'll be surprised.

Agree 100 percent.
