2023 1st round pick is #6 Paris Johnson

[overseascardfan]

Yup. Do people really think giving up a 4th for a first and third is bad?

Also gave up a 2nd. So gave up a second and fourth for a third and move up 6 spots.

#1. Do we need a GM? Couldn't Kyler just do both jobs for what we are paying him.

#2. Monti is new at this and made the rookie blunder of falling so in love with who he wants that he panicked and paid too much for him. One of the 2 top OTs would have been there at 12. They didn't need to give up our 2nd pick. very much a blunder. We got a good player, but gave up the majority of our positional advantage of having pick 3.

If you are going to play poker with at the big table, you better have nerves of steel and not flinch.

We’ll Paris Johnson and Darnel Wright would have both been gone at 12…

Dumbest trade of the century. Would have been there at 12. We have an idiot for a GM. Also Kyler Murray is running this team. Not a single other person has a set in this organization.

Still think that after 2 other OL went before #12? He was going to Raiders at 7

 

[BirdGangThing]

I fully expect him to play Guard this year

Let him play every position minus center (not joking)

We were NEVER drafting Suggs after he got into trouble for alleged assaulting a guy with some rebar shortly before the draft. He shot himself in the foot.

Obviously it must have been swept under the rug because I've never read or heard anything about that and Suggs never faced any punishment in terms of jail time or suspension for it. He did drop a little though because he was suppose to be gone way before #6 and went #10 to BAL but obviously BAL made everyone regret it.

The analysts said while Johnson was walking to the podium that Kyler wanted the Cardinals to draft Johnson.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

I think the Bears preferred Skoronski

Then why didn’t they draft him?

So far Kyler has expressed before drafts that he liked a WR (Lamb) and an OL (Johnson, Jr.). Wow, shockingly huge news coming from a QB.

You can tell how much the fandom has died down this site would almost crash on draft day not as busy as it once was.

Well he's 1 for 2 lol.

He also lobbied for Creed Humphries who turned out a good center for Kansas City

 

[gmabel830]

He also reportedly wanted Wirfs and Creed Humphries

 

[Jetstream Green]

Good with the pick, about time we addressed this line with someone else than Keim botching the OL... and for those who want to dump on this with convection, I really love your NFL scouting credentials

 

[Jetstream Green]

This guy is such a project don’t be shocked when he doesn’t start the year

Or, don't be shocked when he starts this year lol

So overall we kept the Texans 2nd rounder and traded ours, netting a +1 move.

Could be a valuable trade piece.

Could get a 1st next year and maybe a 3rd or 4th this year. We seem to like 3rds.

Deepest round 3 ever

Then why didn’t they draft him?

Good point.

 

[Harry]

Except IMO Wright is better than Johnson.

If you're looking for a LT or RT he's better than Johnson who IMO will start at guard next year and we'll hope he can transition to T later.

ESPN just said when they asked Will Anderson who was the best player he played against in college, he said the Tennessee T(Wright).

I love Wright but, no pun intended, he looks much better on the right. Johnson looks more versatile to me.

That's kinda crazy

 

[BullheadCardFan]

That's kinda crazy

I'm surprised also

Never would have thought that

 

[SissyBoyFloyd]

We’ll Paris Johnson and Darnel Wright would have both been gone at 12…

Well, McShay has Broderick Jones rated above Wright. So maybe any of those 3, plus their was Skoronski to consider.

 

[jf-08]

That's kinda crazy

Possibly would have ended up with Wright if we didn't trade back up.

I mentioned a few days ago how there might be smoke with the talk of good defense and mediocre offense can win games.
Gannon stated many times he wouldn't have come here if Kyler wasn't the QB. Makes sense to build around him. I would love to see us get Schmitz, Wypler or Avila for our center. It would go a long way to finally soldify an offensive Line.
I'll even go as far as saying pick up RB Chase Brown and Wr Cedric Tillman. The offense would be well equiped and ready for Kyler to return.
Defense and defensive free agents the rest of the way.
