Falcons have now picked a TE,WR and a RB over the last 3 years with top 10 picks. Not sure how you build a team that way
NFL 2023
- Thread starter Raoul
- Start date
Cards are now the bookies favorite to land the 2024 1.01 and 1.02 
That must mean there are some signs that Kyler won't be back before the second half of the season at the earliest. They could then potentially draft Caleb Williams, get a fecking boatload of other picks from a team wanting to trade up to #2 for Drake Maye (likely), and then get hopefully are able to strike a blockbuster deal to trade away Kyler and his monster contract.
How to rebuild in 2 years.

If Kyler heads further down the path to being put on the trade block then it is hard to imagine the Cards getting anything meaningful for him, without swallowing a big part of his contract, at least in dead money. All his problems are allegedly to do with character, so it is hard to imagine someone taking that on without some kind of sweetener.
You don’t. At least not a good team.
And not just any WR either. A very good one.
The Eagles seem too have mopped the floor in the first round. A proper rebuilding job.
Yeah RB's in the first 2 rounds is such a waste. Top-15 with blue chip prospects at key positions still available is inexcusable.
That being said - both picked are total studs
Forget the Wonderlic, any NFL GM who sees this and still drafts him should lose his job. Possibly the most disgusting thing on twitter.
The thing I dont get about the Lions pick was that they allowed Jamaal Williams to leave on free agency and he then signed a $12m 3 year deal with the Saints. Williams had a great season last year and was one of the leaders in the dressing room. They could have re-signed him for the same they're paying their new rookie and got a CB. Their D was shite last year so doing what they did was quite baffling, equally considering that Gibbs almost certainly would have been on the board for their second pick at 18.
As for the Chiefs, I'm a bit disappointed with what we did. We released Frank Clark so obviously Edge was something we need to address this off season but I was hoping we would just re-sign him on a cut price deal given he's tested free agency and is still without a team. I hope Felix Anudike-Uzomah turns out to be a stud but from what I've gathered he's rather raw (..just turned 21) and too lightweight currently to be able to be effective against the run.
Our WR core is very thin with MVS, Toney, Skyy Moore and Justin Watson after we lost Mecole Hardman and JuJu. I haven't seen anything from Skyy Moore to suggest he'll be better than a WR4, Toney is great but injury prone and Watson is rubbish. There's the wild card in Justyn Ross but no one knows if he's going to be able to play in the NFL. There are some decent WRs still out there but players like Hyatt are going to be taken early in the second round and it's unlikely we trade up for them when we're picking from 63. Right now trading for DeHop makes the most sense for us (although his salary is an issue) and I'll be a bit disappointed if we don't land him.

Managed to avoid spoilers and just watched. My opinions
Eagles the real winners
Texans gave up too much
Pats getting Gonzalez at 17 is a steal
Lions GM will be sacked within 9 months
Will Levis' girlfriend should be mine

Do you mean his actual girlfriend or his hot sister that people mistook for his girl?
The NFL did the right thing leaving Levis in the green room for an extra day. That lady seems very kind and nice.
Now we hope and pray for a nice Charbonnet landing spot.
What would your 3 top landing spots be for him?
Cowboys, Bills, Bengals?
Chargers if Ekler is leaving? Vikings if Cook is leaving?
Christ…
Who’s the best RB left now. I reckon the Eagles will draft a RB soon
If your best player on the board is a RB at 12 then you got your draft board wrong and don’t understand positional value. The gain there is marginal even if you think at his position he’s a better football player than an Edge, LB, OT, …
Charbonnet
Miller
Tank
Spears
Evans
Tucker (if healthy?)
Johnson
Achane
Abanikanda
Hull
Brown
…
For a 3-down role it’s Charb imo. Upside probably Izzy.
It's Charbonnet but he might be drafted before 62. There's a RB projected to go in the 4th/5th round with the best name I've ever heard for a running back - Tank Bigsby. He should be drafted higher on that name alone.
Does tonight start an hour earlier?
It has nothing to do with “positional value”. That’s Twitter fantasy football speak.
As GM , he knows what his team are attempting to accomplish in terms of a specific profile of players they need. If he likes that particular player (irrespective of position) then that’s his call. Only the owner, GM, and head coach would have access to the internal logic of why they believe a certain player is the right pick for them. They frequently get it wrong since ~75% of drafted players don’t have successful careers, but that has nothing to do with manufactured concepts like positional value.

Damn, 125K were at the draft last night.
Keion White looking positively thrilled to be drafted by the Patriots.
Thought we were getting Hyatt. Need to watch a bit of Rice now. At least we got a WR.
And indeed he was because Pete Carroll decided we needed another 2nd round RB. Wish we'd gone interior OL instead and gone RB in a later round but oh well.
You've got to assume that Hyatt had poor medicals to slip to where he's at now.
Just looked at your draft history and there are indeed a lot of RBs in there. In 2016 you drafted 3!
Yeah, it's an obsession for us. Though there was more need this year since our only RBs currently are Walker (last years 2nd round RB) and DeeJay Dallas who is a non-entity but I'd have rather waited for rounds 3 or 4 to fill it out.
Do other teams have camps with their QB throwing to prospective receivers? I'm mostly tuned into Chiefs twitter so I only hear noise about these Mahomes camps.
Fair. I really don't want to get into the debate about selecting RBs in the higher rounds but there always seems to be a lot of value in later round RBs.
Not sure what’s more surprising… that Jared Goff is only 28 or that Henson Hooker is 25?
Goff's 28? Jesus. Thought he was in his thirties.
I think you’re really gonna like Charbonnet. As a UCLA season ticket holder, I’ve seen him play a lot and he’s a stud. Durable, runs hard, not quite as explosive as Kenneth Walker, but definitely capable of big chunk plays. For the Seahawks, durability is what’s been lacking from your RBs
No no no. I might be wasted as feck right now but the Lions drafted a player at 12 that that they literally have on their roster with Swift, who they could’ve picked with their other pick, and who won’t move the needle. Gibbs is a very talented player but it’s an all time bad pick.
