Any of the top 3 WRs, Bowers or best available OT is what I want. Offense-offense with 1st two picks is all I've wanted for a year but I know they'll go defense because that's what they do every year. Offense is optional.

Any of the top 3 WRs, Bowers or best available OT is what I want. Offense-offense with 1st two picks is all I've wanted for a year but I know they'll go defense because that's what they do every year. Offense is optional.
Packers fans are terrified of having to compete with good teams in their conference.
they'd have a losing record in the AFC.
I'll be honest. I would rather not have another Iowa player. I haven't read up on OT's but that's what direction I would likely head. Although the advantage of having so many top 100 picks is they can be open minded and take the best available at position of needs.
So rare to be this young and have so many top 100 picks. I would use first 2 picks for OL and DB. Use the last of the 3rd round on a rb. Best available for 2 in the middle, but would probably go defense.
Right. Good teams like the Cowboys, Lions, Chiefs? Beat all of them. Took the Niners to the 4th quarter on their home field. Who's your team Iowa boy?
I think they're going to move on that pick one way or another
package with something next year to move up or fleece another team while moving back to the early teens
maybe they pick 1 (Caleb) and 4 (Marv Harrison)? Houston pulled this off last year moving back into the top 5
I would be fine with any of these top 5.
1. T JOE ALT, NOTRE DAME
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 5
The NFL draft is all about finding players with size, speed and strength who have the IQ to use those traits optimally. That's Joe Alt, and that should spell a top-10 selection as a future long-term tackle.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
2. T TALIESE FUAGA, OREGON STATE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 13
Ultimately, Fuaga's tape is that of a starting NFL offensive lineman, whether that is at tackle or guard. He brings the powerful mentality needed to stand out in the trenches. I believe he has the adequate length and foot speed, good offensive line IQ and elite strength to succeed at tackle and get a shot there as a first-round pick.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
3. T TROY FAUTANU, WASHINGTON
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 15
Fautanu is a true athlete of an offensive lineman with starting-caliber traits for center or guard. His movement skills would be a big plus in a zone-blocking scheme.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
4. T OLUMUYIWA FASHANU, PENN STATE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 17
Fashanu is not only incredibly talented but will also be one of the youngest prospects in the 2024 class. He is the type of athlete in the trenches you draft in the first round, even if he needs to get stronger to live up to his very high potential.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
5. T JC LATHAM, ALABAMA
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 18
Latham is in the mold of an offensive lineman who does not come around often. He will be just 21 years old during his rookie season, yet he has two years of starting experience in the SEC. Despite garnering 18 penalties over the past two years and having room to improve in some anticipation parts of the position, Latham is a first-round trench player due to his rare combination of size, speed and refinement.Would absolutely love for them to trade up for MHJ but I hate seeing all the betting sites having Murphy as their favorite at 9. I won't hold it against Murphy if he's the pick but I will hate it tomorrow night solely because it's not an offensive pick.
I won't mind it.
in addition to their QB woes, the Bears haven't drafted an impact WR since Alshon Jeffrey.
Lots of good RB's to grab in rounds 2-4. Been hearing Jaylen Wright from Tennessee, Trey Benson from FSU or Blake Corum.
1. HB JONATHON BROOKS, TEXAS
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 49
Brooks is an ideal blend of size, speed, strength and agility. Though limited in snap totals, he has good vision in both gap and zone run schemes. If he can get back to form following his torn ACL, he has all the goods to be a starting running back in the NFL.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
2. HB BLAKE CORUM, MICHIGAN
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 52
Corum was not as efficient in the individual metrics of running back play after his meniscus tear, but the traits of an effective back were present in 2023, specifically toward the end of the season. He lacks elite overall athleticism but is precise, sees the field well, has good contact balance and brings good third-down abilities, which should yield a contributing role in the NFL.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
3. HB JAYLEN WRIGHT, TENNESSEE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 68
Wright is an NFL-caliber athlete for the running back position. His youth is both a positive (lack of mileage) and a negative (lack of consistent RB vision), but he has succeeded in both gap and zone-blocking concepts and has top-tier pass protection ability for three-down potential in the NFL.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
4. HB TREY BENSON, FLORIDA STATE
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 75
Benson brings NFL build and athleticism to the table in all categories of explosiveness, but he is too focused on his athletic abilities and needs more patience in order to maximize his athletic gifts and be more than a committee running back.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board
5. HB BUCKY IRVING, OREGON
PFF BIG BOARD RANK: 79
Irving might not have the look of a running back that teams will automatically covet on draft weekend, but his tape shows an incredibly efficient player in both the run and pass games.Three-year grades and scouting report: Available in the PFF big board

let's remember losses to the Raiders, Broncos, and Steelers.
take a break from sucking off the mods and obsessing over Iowa . getting a job would be a good start, fatty
don't have one. i enjoy watching NFL, but i don't feel it in my heart like when i see the red N. CFB Saturday is like Christmas. Warm, jovial, culturally involved. Sunday is like New Years Eve. A fun sugar rush that feels manufactured.
i latch on to certain players. Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield are two i enjoy watching because they're a fun story. Lions were fun when they had Suh. Have a few friends on the Seahawks roster, but I don't really enjoy watching those games
i live in Cowboys/Chiefs country, so i'm a big fan of anything negative happening to them because i'm a hater.
anyone who doesn't slobber over the Purdy family tree is a hater to you.
i'm realistic, its just unfortunate it doesn't align with many of yalls fantasies
How original Herky. You're fat. Stop projecting. Talk **** and doesn't have a team. Definition of a cuck.
struck a nerve, clearly. careful getting that blood pressure up, big gal.
gave yourself away with the "projection" bit. 100% chance you frequent Iowa message boards too
You do have some good takesYall? Fantasies?. No. I’m just not a hater like some. Fair and balanced
Vikings should offer Jefferson and the #11 to the Pats for their #3 pick. The Pats have a lot of needs and I think they would still get McCarthy at 11. Jefferson is becoming a Stefon Diggs kind of locker room problem and there's a ton of WRs in this draft.
Problem with that is Jefferson is under contract for just one more year isnt he? Doubt anyone is giving up much draft capital unless he agrees to an extension firat
who would you want at 3 that bad? feels like the Bears trading up for Trubisky
if I'm the Vikings I go Penix at 11. If Odunze falls past 15, I'd trade up. If he's gone, hold out for Troy Franklin at their current spot.
You'd have the only QB besides Williams who was constantly making NFL throws, and an absolutely loaded WR room for him to work with. Jefferson starts crowing for a new contract? See ya, we have Addison and Franklin. have fun at the Raiders
edit: misread
Pats have a lot of needs. They could get their playmaker proven WR and still maybe get McCarthy. They’ve got Brisset who likely will be better than Maye and McCarthy. In my mind it makes sense for both teams.
I like Jefferson, but I think he’s gonna be a problem long-term. Didn’t chirp too much when he was injured, but if he doesn’t get his yards this year and doesn’t like who his quarterback is going to be long-term, expect him to force his way out WHILE wanting an insane deal.
I would take Maye. Personally I'm still of opinion that they should stay put or trade down to get more picks. They've got issues at all levels on the defense that need to be addressed. They need a young WR and a developmental QB. McCarthy isn't a day one starter IMO. So either you go up and get a guy some are comparing to Josh Allen or you move down and probably still get Penix or McCarthy.
This kind of thinking is why the Vikings are the Vikings. Always playing catchup and not forward thinking. Draft a qb when the right one is available, not reaching because of desperation. A team like the Patriots has no need for a wideout in the last year of his deal.
He'll want an insane deal but he is really the only relevant thing for the franchise.
IF they can trade up to get Maye that's probably a forward thinking move. McCarthy is a reach in the first round IMO. That's why i suggested trying to traded down from 11 to get more picks. Get a later first and add a second for your 11th pick. I'm not wild about any of the QBs in this draft including Williams.
that's placing a huge bet that Drake Maye > Penix + Jefferson
considering the film, i don't know how you can even justify Maye > Penix
The question is would they be trading up for Maye because he is absolutely the one. Or would they be trading up because he might be available and they desperately need a qb? I know the qb coach or whoever coached Maye in high school. Trading away a bunch of high picks makes it really tough to build a championship roster.
Maye’s upside is his athleticism and he doesn’t have Penix’s injury history. I don’t disagree much other than that. That’s why I think trading down from 7 might not be a bad gamble. Maybe you still get a QB but if not you could maybe pick up another early round defensive starter. People keep talking up the Vikes’ O line but I think they need another good O lineman. It seemed they constantly were playing with a scrub on their O line when somebody got nicked up. Frankly I’m just kind of disgusted by the Vikings and ready to root for somebody else. IF the Raiders had kept Bisaccia as their head coach I would be following them.
Drew Lock doesn't have Joe Burrow's injury history.
I think Penix's injury history is being overblown. Were it repeated concussions or a current injury, i'd think it was cause for major concern, but they were all a function of running the ball too often and he seems to have adjusted.
Also, Penix ran a much faster 40 than Maye so i'd be highly doubtful that he's more athletic.
the allure to Maye is hoping he'll take a gigantic developmental leap. those prayers can work when they fall into your lap, but are rarely worth mortgaging your future for.
