Thought this was pretty interesting. Walker and Jermaine Johnson are really polarizing. London and Wilson are tied for the #1 WR spot on most big boards, with London being the more polarizing of the two. I generally agree with this, Wilson is a slightly safer pick than London but London has more upside.
It makes you wonder if some of these guys where the median is disproportionately skewed towards a minimum or maximum whether some of these big boards factoring into this are very dated.
As the draft inches forward I’m more confused on who we take now than I was a month ago. Texans truly will decide our fate and I think that’s a bit scary… The Jags and Lions are pretty straight forward. Jags - Hutchison/Neal Det - Hutchison/Willis/Walker Texans - walker/Neal/Ekwonu/Thibodeaux/Sauce Their GM is possibly even more tight lipped than ours… it’s going to be interesting.
Latest I read is that the Texans are leaning taking one of the OTs. I hope so, I think that's best for us.
it makes a lot of sense though. they think mills is their QB, they need to protect him and it's too high for a WR and they have more picks for that. They need to improve around him before addressing the defense. I'm also hearing walker could go top 2 even 1st overall so if 1,2,3 are walker, hutch, and ekwonu we'd be sitting pretty at 4 IMO with KT, trade down possibility, and hamilton
I’m not buying Walker 1 overall talk… I could see him to the Texans at #3 at his highest spot. Jets won’t take Hamilton the optics don’t make sense for JD. The trade down or KT at 4 is going to be the play.
for me an ideal draft would be KT at 4, hamilton at 10, and trade 35 + 69 to get into the early 20s for olave then travis jones at 38. we wouldn't pick again until the 4th round but in the 4th guys like RB ford and TE ruckert would be nice and in the 5th DT noah eliss and a developmental lineman or BPA
I just don’t see Hamilton at 10 because of optics. He is my 2nd overall prospect but I don’t think he’s the pick
I don't think JD could pass on him at 10. especially in a deep WR class where he can trade up from 35 to get a WR or even take one at 35. if we get KT at 4 which looks likely 10 can be hamilton is he falls. I also don't know if he'll fall. the giants and falcons could take him at 7 and 8 but most likely the falcons at 8 unless they go WR. but passing on IMO the bets player in the draft at 10 is insane and not something JD seems like he'd do.
