Yes, Nick needs flexibility to make the numbers work. I'm guessing there are multiple opportunities and he'll need to mix-n-match to work a good deal.
[Schefter] When assessing how the top 10 picks tonight will unfold, one well-placed source said, “Expect explosives.”
So what are the odds of "the Texan's pick is in and we'll be right back after a word from our sponsors"?
I don't believe that Jonathan has his fingers on the pulse based on some of his projections. Banks will NOT be available at 25 and Jackson will NOT be available at 58. He might as well be projecting us to get Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter. Lol.
He did put a star by both (indicating both would be trade up candidates) I’m content staying with the four top 90 picks and coming away with 4 immediate contributors (if not starters).
They're probably going to trade up tonight and need some ammunition to do it. Either that, or they'll try to find some late-round steals after making a trade. Either way, they're trading up tonight.
My big board (TWSS) 1) IOL(Donovan Jackson @, Caleb Rogers, Jona Savalinawa @) Joe Michalski Jared Wilson, Eli Cox, Garrett Dellinger @ = can play T 2) Z-WR (Matthew Golden, Emeka Egbuka, Jayden Higgins, Dont'e Thornton) Isaiah Neyor 3) OT (Kelvin Banks Jr., Logan Brown) 4) RB (Jaydon Blue, Bhayshul Tuten, Quinshon Judkins) 5) DB depth (Caleb Ransaw, Zah Frazier) Kitan Crawford 6) IDL depth (Zeek Biggers) Anthonie Lattany // Max Von Muehldorfer 7) TE depth (Jalin Conyers, CJ Dippre) 8) Edge depth / PS (Elijah Ponder) 9) UDFA QB depth / PS Donovan Smith, Collin Schlee 10) UDFA depth / PS LB Brandon George
My final mock for the first and subsequent rounds. It sounds like Houston will be moving around in the draft.
More than likely they will be used with higher picks as sweeteners.58 and 89 needs a sweetner if your trading to ~40. Prehaps 79 and a future to get to 60s needs a sweetner.
