    Wonder if we were talking to Atlanta to move up for him. Probably psyched he fell to us.

    I'm glad it's Holmes going nuts in that video instead of Campbell for national jokes reasons.

    so what you’re saying he’s going to lead the NFL in sacks allowed, and penalty yard this upcoming season?

    Lions made a good pick, Pistons and Wings are losing late and Mize was solid.

    The Cowboys only got a third to drop two slots with a rival. My guess is trades are going to be hard to come by tonight.

    That Campbell in the middle getting ignored? Because at one point he realizes that it is high five Sheila or stand there awkwardly and he went with stand there awkwardly.

    Please let them take Jones. Fields would scare me.

    I thought he was 4th best QB in this draft so not shocked.

    Been watching on ESPN most of the night on mute. Just went back and watched our pick on NFLN. They talked about it for like 20 seconds and went to commercial. It's incredible how irrelevant we are nationally every year.

    It's good to have a front office that will take a chance on Elite upside again. Quinn would have taken Slater with that pick

    I'm not advocating for us to do this, but I think it's more likely we trade LAR's first next year for a 2 tomorrow night than trade back up to pick again tonight.

    Dream scenarios of guys who aren't gone yet (for me, at least) are Elijah Moore, Jamin Davis and Rashod Bateman.

    I think all three of those guys go tonight, though.

    Davis already gone and Moore will go for sure. Batemen is probably gone by 41.

    yeah, I had no hope there he was going to last. Moore probably goes in the next few picks, too. Bateman is maybe a 25% chance, but still probably goes tonight or within the first few picks tomorrow.

    I don't even know what I like. LB, edge DT and WR all in play. Going offense, offense would be bold with all the defensive needs, but whatever.

    The only position we cannot touch the rest of the way (besides specialists) is a QB.

    Holmes still hasn’t met with the media, so I assume that means he is at least monitoring the trade market.

    I agree. We probably need to find some defensive guys early tomorrow, but at the same time I think WR might be more important. It doesn't do us much good to go into next year seeing if Goff can be the guy if he's throwing to the worst WR group in the league and has no chance of doing anything.

    One other thing I think is worth noting going forward this weekend following the Sewell pick is that closes the book on how they'll view guys who sat out this season. If they love Sewell that much, I have to think they won't hesitate for any of the other guys who sat out.

    I wonder sometimes how the performance of past picks influences future picks. If Simmons was better for Arizona last year, I bet JOK would have been off the board an hour ago. Simmons wasn't good, and I bet that hurts someone like JOK.

    That's not necessarily in any order.

    We pick 9th tomorrow. If we don't trade back, my top 9 would be a group of...

    Elijah Moore
    Terrace Marshall (has some off field and injury questions)
    Christian Barmore
    Azeez Ojulari
    Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah
    Nick Bolton
    Trevon Moehrig
    Javon Holland
    Milton Williams

    In an ideal world, we see a OL run in the first 8 that pushes some other guys down, or creates some panic from teams drafting below us to come up and get a OL before they're gone.

    E Moore, Barmore, any of the top four edge, JOK, Samuel, Moehrig, or Holland would be pretty nice at 41.

    Still would prefer to trade back

    For me, JOK, Ojulari, Moore, Barmore and Marshall are on a separate tier in terms of talent from the others. Some of the internet gurus would put Moehrig in there, too. Marshall and Barmore both have some off field stuff where I can understand a new regime not wanting to go there (don't think it's anything major, but Marshall basically quit this year and Barmore just seems like an emotional dude and rode the roller coaster a bit at Bama).

    If we could get any of those guys, I don't really want to trade back because I think there's a drop off at those positions after those players, and we need talent so badly. I love Holland, though, and if we could move back a bit and still land him that would be awesome. Our safeties suck so bad.
