My ideal first two rounds are Jordan Morgan at LT and Roman Wilson at WR but I'm basing that purely on the hope that each is there. I think Morgan has a better shot to be there at 32 than Wilson does at 64 though. |

History has shown time and time again that you need to use a 1st rd pick on a LT. Feel free to look at the draft history for LT’s taken outside the 1st. Bakhtiari is a lone outlier and Orlando Brown Jr sucks.

Plenty of guys have done fine with that length.
Same length as Bernhard Raimann and he's developed into a top-10 LT in the league and is just getting better. Rashawn Slater is 33" and he's pretty good. Donald Penn was 33" and so was Jason Peters. If you have short arms you have to have athleticism and technique and Morgan has those things. I don't love that he's under 34" but I look at him versus some other prospects being talked about in our range and he's just a significantly better player. |

Huh? This is from his profile:
Morgan has the traits and talent to become a solid starting left tackle. He’s played LT at Arizona his entire 4 years there. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/jordan...4-4c5252cbb096 |

Yeah, I think he is gone by 50. I'm not so sure I'd be opposed to KC spending their 3rd or the Titans 3rd next year to move up for him. Either one should get us around that range.

Some do automatically peg him as an OG because of his arm length. They do the same thing with any prospects that fall short of 34" arms and especially so under 33.5.
They did the same thing with Slater. One of his weaknesses literally read "some teams will see him as an inside-only player." Sometimes it's warranted if the athleticism and technique are questionable, but that's when you actually have to watch a guy play football and determine if he's better than the analytics. |

9/15 or 60% were top 15 picks 10/15 or 67% were 1st rounders 12/15 or 80% were drafted in the 3rd round or earlier |

Pass rushers and LT's. The league has pretty much figured out what and who those guys are gonna be and draft them accordingly.

I won't release it for several weeks yet but my thoughts in-process for my What I Want mock actually has a bit of what I talked about in response to Meck and is looking like this:
1-032 - LT Jordan Morgan, Arizona (6'5" 312) 2-048 - WR Roman Wilson, Michigan (5'11" 185) Trade w/JAX for 2-64 and 2025 3rd f/TEN 3-095 - CB Andru Phillips, Kentucky (5'11" 190) 4-131 - DT Jaden Crumedy, Mississippi State (6'4" 301) 5-159 - TE Jared Wiley, TCU (6'6" 249) 5-173 - WR Ainias Smith, Texas A&M (5'9" 190) 7-221 - RB Rasheen Ali, Marshall (5'11" 206) I don't know, necessarily, that I'll change my thoughts much unless KC opts to sign Donovan Smith pre-draft. I've come to love the prospects of Wilson and Smith as guys that really impress me after the catch and how you can deploy them. I think both fit Reid's offense spectacularly. |
