    He’s a good blocker, for his size. His benefit is he might be the most athletic TE in the NFL. Who can also line up in the backfield and out wide.

    No

    But if he fell to say 1-14 I would consider giving up 1-23 and 3-85 plus a 2025 2nd for Bowers.

    Koolaid has a jones fracture. I think that should take him off our board.

    Koolaid shouldn't be on our board at all. Atleast as a first rounder. I think that guy is overrated. If we want Corner, Quinyon Mitchell is the one I'm hoping falls to us.

    Foot injury to a corner that has a high chance of reinjury is not something I’m good with

    He's my biggest wildcard out the secondary. Biggest boom or bust guy. I think with him it comes down to knowing exactly where you want to put him. I see alot of people debating between Corner and Safety. I think he'd be a better Safety. Whatever is decided, I hope he stays at that position.

    I look forward to his Iowa's Pro Day.

    His versatility is why I think he’s bust proof. There’s only one reason people are arguing if he’s a safety or corner and it’s stupid.
    He’s arguably the best corner in the draft and a freak athlete. But, even if it doesn’t work outside he could immediately be an elite safety/nickel.
    Which we need all of. Plus those Iowa kids always do well in the pros.

    As much as a like Mitchell, he’s still a small school guy that came out of nowhere to fly up draft boards.

    Would love Braelon Allen if we can somehow have a committee of RBs

    But I like quite a few backs.

    Jonathon Brooks
    Braelon Allen
    Bucky Irving
    Jaylen Wright

    Still need to watch Trey Benson.

    Been at a conference in FL all week, but caught combine on NFL channel last night.

    - I've got a man crush on Bryon Murphy's feet. Dude is super nimble. Afraid he's going Top 20.

    - Fiske is really good athlete/ player, would be happy with him in the 2nd. However, with Senior Bowl and Combine performances he's likely going Top 50.

    - There are some really good Edge options and at least one should be there at 23.

    - Edgerrin Cooper has an insane wingspan! Would be happy with him.

    - Payton Wilson is going to rocket up draft boards. The Luke K as his mentor is awesome!

    Murphy could be going a lot higher than that too. Depth at DL and WR is pretty insane, think there could be opportunity to move back in the 1st and still get a very good player at either position.
