Maybe Simmons will be there at 47

He very much could be. That injury is scary.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Eagles get a steal there.

Would have not been mad for us

 

[PJ1]

Simmons now gone.

Guess not.

Great picks at bottom of round one for Eagles and Chiefs.

O

Or You start to rely on the other side of the ball more and count on Kyler to make enough plays to win games. Instead of him having to dominate games.

Dominate? You can’t expect him to do anything more than last year by running it back.. “oh 1 year more of a developed MHJR and Trey”. Monti is trash.. this isn’t the 85’ bears nor the 80s or 90s. It’s an entertainment league.. you need points to win

And apparently our 50 million dollar QB needs more than one of the best rushing attacks in football, arguably the best TE in football and a prized rookie with still major upside to get those points.

Ya Oline matters.. ask Mahomes in both of his SB losses. Also - MHJR def wasn’t a #1 wr last year so we had a #2 and spare parts.

Also - we had a good run game last year.. not great. ZERO explosiveness outside of a few kyler runs. Again - wake up bro, it’s not 1985-1995. Plodding 1st downs in between the 20’s doesn’t win games.

 

[Snakester]

CB Will Johnson and pass rusher Mike Green are still available going into second round. Those are my top two targets for a trade up.

25. New York Giants (from Houston) -- Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss​

Why they picked him: The Giants needed a quarterback of the future -- owner John Mara said it was the "No. 1 issue" for his team this offseason. After whiffing on Matthew Stafford and offering a package that included next year's first-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for the No. 1 pick in this draft, general manager Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll needed a new plan. So they drafted the QB they said graded out above Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. Dart is the first quarterback they've drafted since taking over in 2022. His accuracy, anticipation, ability to escape pressure and deep ball really seemed to stand out to the Giants.

Biggest question: Where does he fit in the quarterback mix? The Giants have Russell Wilson penciled in as the starter. They have veteran Jameis Winston as insurance. Dart, meanwhile, is the quarterback of the future, which means Tommy DeVito looks potentially like the odd man out. This could ultimately be like a redshirt year for Dart -- the Giants look at this as a "really good spot where he can sit and learn behind a couple of veterans," Schoen said. Dart seems to be embracing the situation. -- Jordan Raanan

Might end up being the best QB in this draft

 

[GatorAZ]

Atlanta ending up with Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr is crazy.

Atlanta ending up with Jalon Walker and James Pearce Jr is crazy.

It's a good plan for a team so bereft of Edge talent.
