Which is why I think Veach is trading up in the first for either Wyatt, Johnson or Karlaftis. [Reply]

I think the reason you're seeing so many of us lean towards Edge (and hell, Veach for that matter) is that the draft board will naturally leave better edge talent than the remaining position groups because there's just so damn much of it.
I mean it's possible 1/3 of the draft goes DL before us - it's happened that way before. But if you're open to Travis Jones or Sam Williams at the back of the 1st, you STILL are likely to have guys you like sitting there. And both of those guys have 1st round talent. [Reply]

O.City seems to think there’s some rule that you can’t get a good edge rusher without a top 15 pick. [Reply]
Would love to get Devonte Wyatt in the first but that would involve trading up. So what do you do? How high would you have to move up to get him? Just curious on what it would take. [Reply]

Not trade up and get Travis Jones instead. [Reply]

Only way we’re trading up is for an EDGE IMO. [Reply]
Arnold Ebiketie has some serious burst off the LOS. Straight speed and agility off the edger, swats the LT's hands down on the way around the arc and finishes by getting the ball out. Elite first step. @ArrowheadLivepic.twitter.com/SxAZ8ZB461
Yep, huge turnoff for me. If the guy is small he better have elite speed and agility. 7.28 is pretty terrible for a guy his size. I'd expect at least 6.90. [Reply]
The more I think about it….the more obvious replacements on this roster with our first round picks are Jones and Clark. 50 and 62 are right around the sweet spot for WRs and another DE.
Not a first round target but Sanders is back up to 247.
��PRO-DAY UPDATE: Cincinnati EDGE Myjai Sanders, who weighed in at 242 lbs at @seniorbowl but dropped to 228 lbs at Combine due to illness, tipped the scales at 247 lbs this morning at pro-day. This should put any concerns about Sanders’ weight to rest.#TheDraftStartsInMOBILE™️ pic.twitter.com/u6hIcvaOb8
