    Campbell or Banks. Abdul Carter, Will Johnson.

    Make one of them a Jet.

    My gut on all players

    Mason Graham-Probably BPA if he’s available. I guess are we having this talk if we have a competent NT next to big Q? Lot of money for a position that is not that important. Plus, Quinnen is getting a lot of money. Draft in rd 2 or heavy FA DT.

    Abdul Carter-Unless they fall in love with him, isint he small to be a DE? Could be a rotation of JJ, Carter, WMcD but that’s a lot of first on the same position.

    banks/campbell: Yes. When in doubt, build the OL like the Lions.

    McMillan: will be a candidate if available (don’t think he will be). Can’t imagine Adams staying.

    Will Johnson: no. Not when you have to pay sauce next year and MC2 has a decent extension get a good CB2 in round 2/4 or move Carter outside. Always like the play of Echols on D anyways.

    trade back: yes.

    RD1: OT/WR
    RD 2: DT or Safety

    Idunno if NFL teams consider guys like this but North Dakota State’s QB Cam Miller has a live arm and can run. 54 starts I believe they just said. Might be worth a camp invite.

    I'd like a trade-down to 20, get extra picks & grab Wyatt Milum (OT) from West Virginia and plug him in at RT.

    I think your strategy would be perfect. We may have to look toward someone else besides Milum for right tackle, though. Milum’s arms reportedly are less than 33 inches.

    It’s the right draft to trade down if there ever was one. I’m not sold on Tet McMillan. Big, strong, fast but I don’t know if he’s going to use his body to bully NFL corners and I don’t think he’s twitchy enough.

    Outside of that I don’t think you’re seeing a huge difference in tackles taken in the teens versus top ten which is where I think we should be looking. Build a wall.

    Milum might be a guard at the next level but where ever he plays he should be a devastating run blocker.

    Welp, I’ll start taking my lumps again now like I did before we drafted Zach. There is not a QB in this draft worth taking in the first 4 rounds. Not one.

    It’s definitely not a good QB draft. I think we got to build the OL and see what Travis is.

    McCown was a tremendous athlete; he wasn’t a traditional pocket passer like McCord.

    Ya I looked back and do agree. McCord is more Joe Flacco as my comp

    Oh jeez. Although I don't put the most stock in arm length (Carter Warren measured long the 2023 combine) -- that is very short to be an OT.

    But how big are his hands?

    And what do his teeth look like?
