You don't have to give up 2 full drafts for a single player. You don't have to tank an entire season. And the surest way to piss that away is by doing it anyway. You just don't make a move 20+ places in the first round when you have a quarterback. Honestly, even for Marvin Harrison Jr it wouldn't make much sense. The only way you could even justify that is if you think the guy is Julio Jones and is going to go out there and destroy creation in week 1. And I've not been that confident about a WR ever. Even Julio didn't have me that hot and bothered. Maybe if Megatron 2.0 was in the draft but even then you've seen guys that measure like Calvin did and they still aren't Calvin Johnson. I just can't see a scenario whereby it made sense. If something catastrophic like a Mahomes injury happened and we ended up drafting 14 or something - sure, move some major assets to move up from 14 to 5 and get your blue-chipper. But the cost to move up from 32 when teams already mark your future picks down by virtue of your relative dominance of late is just WAY too prohibitive. |

Wayna Morris: 35.125 Darian Kinnard: 35 Lucas Niang: 34.25 OT's they signed or went after: Trent Williams: 34.25 Jawaan Taylor: 35.25 Orland Brown: 35 Donovan Smith: 34.4 2024 Tackles: Joe Alt: 34.25 Amarius Mims: 36.125 Troy Fautanu: 34.5 Tyler Guyton: 34.125 Patrick Paul: 36.25 Taliese Fuaga: 33.125(I'd guess he is off Veach's board) Olumuyuwa Fashanu: 34 Kingsley Suamataia: 34.25 Jordan Morgan: 32.875(For sure off the board even if people are mocking him at 32) Blake Fisher: 34.375 Of course tie in split times and you can start to weed down an idea "Veach" OT. Have I said how much I LOVE Mims and his upside!!!! Could be the perfect storm for us! Mims drops because of experience and allows Veach to trade up and get him. Could easily end up the best OT in the draft! |

My ideal scenario is we stay at 32 and Guyton is there for the taking. Or somebody better, but I think Guyton is the most realistic, and I think he's going to be a damn good player.

Guyton just screams proto-typical Ravens OT.

Our line depth is so pitiful, I wouldn't mind them taking a couple in this draft. Take Morgan early and someone like Paul, Fisher or the Yale kid later. Move up in the second to get a WR you like. Put Morgan at LT this year and let the developmental tackles battle it out with Morris as a swing or future LT then move Morgan to LG to replace Thuney. Morgan is going to be better than anything we have had since Fisher over there. He might not be all pro, but he will be enough to let Patrick be Patrick. |

I expect the Chiefs to trade back with #32 & #64 so that we have 2 picks in the early-mid 2nd round where we'll take a pretty good OT and WR. |

He has so much talent. Give me Sua over Guyton for example 10/10 and we stole him a full round later. I'm calling it now. Heck and Reid and the system have this guy on the All-Pro team before his rookie contract is up. |
