    If I’m being honest, none of these guys in the poll excite me right now. I have questions about all of them. Hell there are questions about the top 4 if we’re being frank lol.

    This is why I’m starting to the think that after the top 4, they may not see much difference between the prospects they have rated between 5 and 8 on their board. There is still a chance that even with the absolute worst record, they can end up picking 5th. We mostly avoid that conversation, but it’s real.

    Odds to get a pick 1-4 is the exact same with the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd worst records. Negligible difference with the 4th worst record. The 4th worst record means the lowest they could pick is 8.

    If we are forced to pick #6 I think Murray, Sharpe, or Griffen. But I would try to move back to pick up more assets and still get one of those guys. Needless to say, if we aren’t picking top 3 or 4 it’s gonna be a disappointing draft, baring some big trades.

    Exactly and the odds of picking 1-4 don’t really change much no matter what we do from here on out. Not getting that top 4 pick would be the biggest disappointment of all. The true disappointment.

    Edit: Not to derail this thread, I made a different one for this topic. I’m leaning Keegan Murray based on the list provided…I think. I don’t know. They’re all so different and could provide something we could use.

    Maybe Ben Mathurin, but he’s not listed. Hard to be overly hype about any of these guys honestly.

    I think Griffin, if his medicals check out, would be my pick. I see him as having jaylen brown type potential.

    There could be current top 4 that drops.

    And other players that rise after combines.

    I'll take that guy who drops with 6th pick.
