I’d be all for Egbuka or Burden at 31.

It would be great to have some flexibility when it’s time to pay Rice.

I think literally anything but QB is a possibility at #31.

Including moving down into the second for extra picks.

We're well set up to just go straight BPA, no need to stress about anything in particular.

Someone we aren’t considering is going to fall.

Luckily, the major holes have been filled. Whichever steal is there, do it Burt.

I might be slightly disappointed if it's a guard, but other than that, swing away.
[Reply]

I don’t think you consider need with BPA, but you have to consider positional value.

It’s hard to imagine a guard being the BPA without a comparable prospect at a more important position also being available.

To my knowledge, there isn’t a Quenton Nelson in this draft.

Everything you said is 100% right but I still want Josh Simmons if he’s within 5-10 spots of where we pick. I want the oline to be super competitive and a position of strength. I’d love to see Mahomes with an offensive line that he really trusts. I think Mahomes would be lights out with our current weapons with and a top oline.

Is it a forgone conclusion that Golden will be gone by 31? He seems to have it all, so maybe it is.
[Reply]

He ain't gonna be.

I do find it interesting that the mock draft simulator I used yesterday dropped him in quite a few times to the Chiefs pick. I know that will continue to change until draft time but it was interesting that others were jumping up in the first round pushing him down.
[Reply]

Guard is about the most disappointing first round pick I can think of, but, if we did go OG in the 1st I’d be super confident in that player.

If Golden, Egbuka, or Burden were available at our pick I’d prefer Golden or Burden’s upside over Egbuka who I view as an extremely solid WR.

I really don't see Veach taking a WR in the 1st or 2nd round this year. Maybe 3rd or 4th round. Someone will be around in that range like Bond, Royals, Felton, Williams, Lane, etc. They really need a good developmental slot.

I think it's an absolute pipe dream to think Egbuka or Golden will be anywhere near our pick. Hell, I really don't think Burden will be either. The bottom drops out after those guys to a bunch of 3rd round types so I think they'll get snapped up pretty quickly.
[Reply]

Yeah I think the 3rd rd is gonna be very heavy on RB’s and WR’s. I think that’s when they really start going off the board
[Reply]

I don’t see Josh Simmons going before 20. The problem I see is finding a trade partner that would be willing to move down. Maybe the packers at 23 if Simmons is available?
[Reply]

With JuJu back in the fold on a one year deal, does that change the focus on what they're thinking regarding WR in the draft? And by that, does it indicate DE/DL will be the first pick (barring unforeseen drops by players that they didn't think would drop)?
[Reply]

The Packers feel like they could be one of the problem teams you have to work around and not the solution. Rasheed Walker is playable but certainly needs to be upgraded. The Packers don't have any needs, they just need to upgrade some areas so they are a true wildcard on what they do.

It starts to cost some real capital to get out in front of them, especially given you have two division rivals at 20 and 22 and a team that doesn't ever really trade down in PIT at 21.

I guess, hope GB doesn't take who you want and then move to Minnesota's pick at 24. They'll move off that easily.
