Bunch of talented athletic iOL in this class and they've probably only got room for one more iOL on the roster. No harm in giving yourself the flexibility to take one to develop via the draft and signing him after if you don't draft anybody.

I think the roster is well set up to just draft players they like. Agree the need/position value thing lines up pretty well. Wide receiver - they could move up for someone they love. There are a couple guys I like. Think you could argue there's a better shot of hitting if they take two than pick one and with the pieces behind Wilson and Williams being Lazard, Gipson, Brownlee, and Charles I think they could use a little infusion of depth and talent. Could easily add and roster developmental QB3, RB3, iOL. They could also definitely fit an edge. Safety wouldn't be that hard to fit either. And they absolutely could use long-term pieces at DT and LB if there's someone they like. A sneaky big long-term need unless they extend guys, Sauce is the only corner they have signed for next year.

This has always made more sense. Aiyuk is younger, banged up less, and an excellent player.

I don’t think Fashanu has the build to project to guard like some of the other tackles they were looking at. Just let him put on good weight, soak things in from Tyron Smith, and contribute when called upon - which will happen.

They're different off field issues and more well substantiated.

Burton has off field concerns and should slide to day three, FWIW. Yeah I think it’s hard to find that guy but if you do you’re set. I think better chance of finding one if you take receivers at 72 and 129 than trading 129 to move from 72 to 64 and taking one there - just as an example. And I like Baker too. The depth chart beyond Lazard - who I’m not sure should make the roster - is three UDFA’s. Reasonable to beef up the depth chart a little.

I think multiple swings at WR would be good, maybe possible with the three fourth round picks. Love Wilson and Williams but a little competition down the depth chart wouldn’t be a bad thing.

I don’t think they’ll be able to get high enough, though I’d think he’d be a schematic fit. Think they’ve done work on Penix. They’ve also got Nix ties and he’s an analytics darling. Just think the way they’ve handled draft picks in the past they’d want serious risk/reward for the first round pick and they’ll need a long term answer there so if there’s someone they love they’ll be aggressive.

Feel like if a Rams team that hasn’t drafted in the first round since Jared Goff likes a quarterback it might make sense to just go acquire him.

I had mostly gotten around to him not being there (which I don’t think he will be) and stuff like this creeps me back towards being in denial. I do still suspect Arizona likes him and wonder if we could see a: 1. Bears - Williams 2. Commanders - Daniels 3. Pats - McCarthy 4. Giants (from Cardinals) - Maye 5. Chargers - Latham 6. Cardinals (from Giants) - Odunze I think it’s weird but kind of weird in a way that happens sometimes on draft day and think the Titans sitting at 7 with Harrison, Nabers, Alt, and Fashanu on the board would be quite something.

This is going to hurt.

I think there’s good data that shows he gets substantially more behind the line of scrimmage targets than other tight end prospects. His yards after catch is potentially sustainable-ish though. Guys like Kittle and Njoku are similar. I was just pushing back on the idea that he’s going to come in and immediately dominate the middle of the field when he didn’t really do a whole lot of that in college.

That’s the single area but if you break out down the middle >0 versus everywhere else it’s about 1:2. Basically a little over 2 targets a game down the middle over 0 yards.

If the dividing line is middle of field past the line of scrimmage or behind the line of scrimmage plus perimeter, it’s more of the latter not the former.

Sewell got less AAV. Draft a WR. Devonta Smith also got more AAV than Mailata.
