    The draft is about trying to find difference makers. Bowers is a difference maker. TE's are very important to the WCO. Look at Kelce or Kittle and his 3 TD's tonight. Sure would like to see a guy like this to give Stroud another Weapon.

    Needs on defense that hopefully will be addressed in FA. I would love to see Wilkins and Banks brought in as FA's. I would even trade Tunsil to help add these type guys.

    Bring in Reader or Wilkins and Banks. Look for a LB in the 2nd/3rd rd range. This team will be fine. Add guys like Bowers and A. Mitchell or Worthy in the draft and you should have the talent around Stroud for him to be successful.

    I'd love an elite TE in the draft. I'd love an elite WR in the draft. I'd also love an elite cornerback, DE, DT, and OL. Too many options for me to decide on. I'll have to trust our team in making the best decision when this season is over. Hopefully we can score big in free agency before the draft. That will help the decision making come draft day.

    Hopefully they fill some of the holes in FA with a couple of star level FA's. Guys like Wilkins, Hunter, that will allow them to draft a guy like Bowers if he falls to them. I'm not sure but I think this draft is deep in LB's and WR's. I expect an upgrade at the LB position in addition to the DL.

    I want them to use the money with legit guys. I’m tired of getting 15 1-yr vets that “are good but need the right system” or “former 1st round pick that needs a change of scenery”

    go out, spend some money, get some legit talent so we don’t have to hit on every single draft pick… then go out and hit on every single draft pick.

    I love the WR out of Washington, catch radius is amazing and he makes things happen with Penix’s inaccurate throws.

    Seems like a crazy start to the year from a parity perspective... https://www.tankathon.com/nfl. Maybe it's not, but it seems moreso than normal.

    - 10 teams with 2 wins and 10 with 3 wins.

    - 7 teams with >2 wins on the bottom.

    - 5 teams at the top with 4/5 wins.

    Will be interesting to see how this changes at 8/9 game mark.

    I'm not sure the Tankathon mock is a good representation of how the draft talent will be deceminated, but I like how this version gives us a choice of the top WRs except Harrison... https://www.tankathon.com/nfl/mock_draft

    There's some real talent on display in the Washington, Oregon game.

    Penix is terrible, I loved that guy when he was with Indiana.

    Just too many injuries.

    Those throws are not going to make it in the NFL, plus he has so much time with that great o line at Washington!

    Almost been two years since Caleb Williams had multiple interceptions in one game!

    WR Walker is making Maye look good. LOL. Maye throwing to anyone else was looking bad.
