I was VERY set on WR in the 1st round but the options at LT in FA are pretty thin now. It's basically Donovan Smith or Charles Leno. I've got to think they at least try for one of these rather than have someone like Guyton, Morgan or Suamataia learning the ropes there straight up. Even if they trade up a little for a Mims.
That's why it still feels like a WR to me. If no LT vet is brought in, OK, it's got to happen early in the draft. Assuming they are, I could see it being BPA with that being a WR then a trade up R2 for a LT. [Reply]

Yeah they aren’t going in rd 1. I’d add Franklin and Suamataia to that list to be taken off as well.
Still think Darius Robinson is a target but will probably be gone by our pick. Just saw a tweet that 20 teams are bringing him in for a private visit or meeting. He’s got a ton of attention. [Reply]
What would be interesting with Bowers is if he's still there at 20 or 22 or 24. If the staff thinks Kelce has 2 good/great years left, can they get enough juice out of Bowers in that time to justify a little trade-up?
No way he'll get all the way to 32. At the very least someone would trade up from the 2nd to get him at 24, 25, 26. [Reply]

THE (1 for 32 in the 2023 NFL Draft) MEL KIPER? [Reply]

I think McConkey's in play, he's been mocked to us a lot lately. I keep seeing Thomas Jr and DL Newton falling recently but not sure they make it all the way down to us. [Reply]

If we could move up to trade for Bowers, that would be a tremendous outcome in the draft. But I can’t imagine he will fall into the 20s.
It’s more likely we will be lucky enough to have an opportunity to try to trade up for a plug and play left tackle. And that would be a great outcome too [Reply]

I just see McConkey and Pearsall as the same player. I don't think I'd go for McConkey in the first when you could get Pearsall a round later. [Reply]
