Look at who's likely to be available and tell us who you want.

Hmmm. You're really getting me out of my depth here Chief because I don't know poop about other teams.

Could we maybe sign KC's Donovan Smith and change him to RT? He's getting older and might not be looking for a big deal...

Or NE's Trent Brown has played RT before and maybe he would not be super expensive?

Finally GB's Yosh Nijman has had a lot of snaps at RT and it looks like he might hit the market this year.

Hopefully at least one of thise is not a stupid suggestion haha. :)

We beat Seattle and we are most likely picking 7th due to SOS.

We have the 2nd highest SOS in the NFL at .562 (Cincy is .581).
glimmers of hope with a Cardinal win

1. Chiefs are locked into the #3 spot and play at 5 win LAC. Mahomes and other starters will not play.
2. Jax may not be able to play Trevor Lawrence vs 5 win Tennessee -- who will start Ryan Tannehill.
3. Philly is still hungover from the Cardinal loss -- provides NYG their 6th win

Bowers wins with speed but also with an extremely high football IQ. I think he's a really good player because of that.

When you watch him play, it really stands out that he wants to be great. Not everyone is like that.

Some players are but don't have the football IQ to be great. Bowers does.

I think Bowers is going to be the next Kelce. Travis not Jason. ;)

This kid started as a freshman in the SEC and put up 900 yards and 13 TDs. That's impressive!

Could the Commanders make Eric Bieniemy their new HC and they trade out of the #2 pick to load up on draft capital. Then take Bowers to be his Travis Kelce a little later in the 1st? It would be ballsy that's for sure.

I’ll take Latham trading down, use trade down assets grabbing Odunze. Trade down from the second pick and snag Latu.

And sometimes that’s just not enough for the position. His speed - will it translate to the nfl? His size does not. How often does a smart guy succeed at a position that’s a special blend of size and speed to be special?

I’m not saying bowers is a certain failure. I’m actually intrigued by him. But I could also see him bust big time.

He’s more likely to be an early disappointment and then develop eventually into a solid pro. This is the trajectory of many highly drafted NFL TEs.

I don't get the Brock Bowers hype either. A late round TE target I had for the Cards was Iowa TE Luke Lachey but he's opted to go back to that vaunted Hawkeye offense.

Maybe this is OSU bias, but I think Cade Stover will be a better all around TE than Bowers in the NFL. You want a down and dirty mean guy that will block and is a good receiving threat, Stover is your guy. Stover is more of Gronk type in that he'll be a great blocking TE as well. In fact, he has the nickname Farmer Gronk because of his style of play and being a farm boy.

Ok I'm busted, only writing this post to remind ASU fans where the territorial cup is. I'm looking at a 5th year senior, captain, elite hands, good blocker and Jeb says he's the best football player on the team.

Kids stock dropped to where he could be picked in the late rounds of this draft. Great third down back special teams player. Better then Demercado

If at least 2 QB's are selected ahead of us:
We are guaranteed to get one of the following:
Marvin Harrison
Malik Nabers
Rome Odunze
Joe Alt
Olu Fashanu

I would not be surprised if both OT's and Harrison are gone - we trade down.
