Wow interesting. I was thinking LT over WR. I highly respect your opinion, draft and football takes etc. Is there other LT’s you would take over WR? [Reply]

I might put Fashanu between Alt and Odunze. In fact, on this team, I think he's as good a pick as Alt would be. He's going to be a stud pass blocker. I think the big difference between the two is that Alt is going to be a better run blocker and may have a slightly higher floor as a pass blocker. But even at that, I don't think he's as athletic as Fashanu. Fashanu is as likely as not to be a better pass-blocker for our deeper sets and Andy's desire to leave guys alone on the edge even against speed rushers.

I haven’t read any of the thread yet so I may be swayed when I get caught up.. but it would have to be LT. You can wr and pass catchers elsewhere. Top flight left tackles grow at the top. [Reply]
I think Nabers really should be viewed more as a 1b to Harrison's 1a. And if that's the case and he's more Ja'Marr Chase than Tee Higgins, he's worth the two 1st rounders.
He'd be a force multiplier at that point. A guy who makes both Rice and Kelce better by virtue of his mere presence in the offense.
Now you have to believe that's who he'd be - a guy who becomes one of the best 10 receivers in the NFL. But I think he very well could be that guy. If you think he can be CeeDee Lamb then he's worth it vs lets say Franklin becomes DeVonta Smith.
Would I give DeVonta Smith and a future 1st for Lamb? Of course. Without hesitation.
When I watch those two, I come away thinking Nabers is 1a to MHJ's 1b. I know that's not a popular opinion with "experts", it's just what I see.
Nabers with Mahomes wouldn't be fair to the rest of the league. Goodell would probably veto it if we somehow got into position to get him. [Reply]
Don't see the point in trading up to anywhere above 7 in the top 10 because we need WRs and it's very likely that the 3 best ones are gone by then. The mock drafts at the moment are suggesting that the 4th WR is going to go at around the early to mid 20 mark so if we were going to trade up it should be for a place somewhere around there. [Reply]

1. Harrison
2. Nabers
3. Alt
4. Fashanu
5. Odunze
That'd be my top 5.
I was wondering where you guys rank or what you think of Latham from Alabama? Is he a RT in NFL?
Also Mims from Georgia, and Guyton from Oklahoma? [Reply]
If we're talking number 10 the only 2 guys I could maybe see there are Fashanu and Odunze, Alt, Bowers and Nabers are all gone imo. Of those I'd take Fashanu. I think Odunze is a better prospect but getting a pass pro specialist at LT for peanuts is too good to pass up. [Reply]

I'd probably rank all three of those guys in that order - Latham, Mims, Guyton.
I would maybe trade into the early 20s for Mims or Latham and probably just hope Guyton slides. But at the cost of an extra 3rd round pick, I just don't know.
We have so little draft capital this year.
I mean I'd FAR prefer give up 2 firsts and a little more to move up to 8/9 and get Fashanu than try to move up to say 18 and get Mims without giving up an extra 1. So I guess that says something about how I view Mims ability to transition and Latham's ability to translate.
Because really if you view (especially) Mims in a vacuum, he has tools that are on par with Alt and Fashanu. I should be more than happy to try to get up to 20(ish) to grab him if he fel that far. But there are so many unknowns around him. [Reply]
Greg Cosell on Joe Alt "I did not love his tape. His game is built on athleticism/length/technique more than physicality/strength/power. He's an athletic finesse tackle. He doesn't have strike power in his hands/body. He's more passive than aggressive. He doesn't fire his hands."

The only reasonable way KC is getting into the top 10 would likely be to sell out to the Chicago Bears for #9 because I can't see the Jets wanting to move out of 10 if there's a LT on the board and that would likely be the only position we'd go up there for.
That's probably 1-32, 2-64, 4-133, and a 2025 1st at minimum. If you're lucky enough to tag Sneed and make him part of the deal, maybe you can send both 1s and Sneed. No matter what, that's incredibly expensive. If I'm doing all of that, then it's for an LT.
I think we'd take whoever is remaining between Alt and Fashanu if either were even there at 9. And honestly, I don't really have much of a preference between the two, I'd be ecstatic with either.
I absolutely would not go up there for any other position this year. [Reply]
