We have more, more “What I Feel” 24 hours from the first episode of Thursday …
• I asked several groups on Wednesday how many degrees they had starting in the first phase. One told me 18, another 16, and the other two told me, not giving a real number, their number is in that category. Which means, depending on the situation, and with the quarterbacks set up, these teams will probably be in their second group in the 20s.
Now that doesn’t sound right, but it’s not unusual. And, I think, it’s a beautiful picture of this class-free blue-chippers, but I find the benefits around young people, with the strong, unobtrusive startup skills found in the third installment.
Here’s where I tell you again: This preparation reminds me of 2013, from the lack of top quarterback skills to the power of class (frustrated line / pass rushers), that there is good hope until the second and third Friday. around. And this makes for a long-term stay, sitting in the working departments to look for Travis Kelce or Zach Ertz who could be something next.
• The biggest question I found when asking about the groups that traded this weekend was “What?” I think I can now answer that question — the corner.
Based on how long Cincinnati’s Sauce Gardner and Derek Stingley Jr of LSU are. On the board, there could be events behind the top 10, with teams moving to the top of one of the two. They can all be, at the right time, the best players in the whole class. And so the few teams that sit between 9 and 14 have had moving talks with the teams ahead of them.
• To be fair, Seattle has done a lot of work for Stingley. Getting her in the top 10 would be a huge departure from the team management under Pete Carroll and John Schneider – she has not taken more than 90 corners in the 12 games they have played together.
There is a real chance that this will happen this year, with new co-founder Clint Hurtt in the saddle.
• How I think the league sees corners right now – Gardner and Stingley, in another order, then down, then Trent McDuffie of Washington, then down, then Kaiir Elam of Florida, Kyler Gordon of Washington and Andrew Booth of Clemson in another order. And McDuffie is behind Gardner and Stingley mainly because of his size / short arms.
“There is a difference,” said one GM. “But McDuffie is a very good player, a very good player.” And the AFC chief added that McDuffie is “whiter than Stingley for a number of reasons. His size is the only knock on McDuffie. He can cover, he can handle. He’s not too big or strong, but he can play inside and out, zone or person. better than Stingley. “
As for the next team, Booth Hospital is a challenge for many teams, and Gordon did not perform as well in Indy as expected. So I believe Elam, who wrote 40 better than anyone thought he could and has done well in asking questions, has a very good image of sitting in the fourth corner of the group, either in his late teens or early 20s.
• I can also see the running speed (one Philly team checked in the corner is rising and could be a corner. or rusher) or recipients. Initially, there is a real decline after the first four hopes – Aidan Hutchinson of Michigan, Travon Walker of Georgia, Kayvon Thibodeaux of Oregon and Jermaine Johnson II of Florida State.

Speaking of the latter, I have heard giants associated with Mr. Jameson Williams ’burnout, and the Falcons seem to want to take one at No. 8-two names I have heard are Drake London of USC and Garrett Wilson of Ohio State. The reason for this is possible, with the Giants being very open to move with their second round (seventh choice), or until next year, and the Panthers were also promoted at No. 6, that another group tries to jump ahead of Atlanta to pick up trash.
• While we are there, there has been a lot of speculation that the Chiefs are selling and they made phone calls until the 20th century a few days ago. I understand why a lot of people think it belongs to the recipient. And it could be. But I hear it could be a pass rusher or a corner, too, and I have experiences that I think are true.
The first phase would have been moving from the 29th to the early 20s to select Elam or Gordon. The second installment would be a 30-minute recipient. And for that, look at George Pickens of Georgia as a wild card. Pickens, I am told, does not belong in the other category, due to its maturity and reliability. That said, he has a lot of talent, and the kind of dangers that Andy Reid and Brett Veach have always faced.
On the contrary, if Pickens’ form was clean, and he did not make his ACL last spring (which cost him a long time ago), there is a good chance he could be a top 10. So even though the choice of 30 may be a little heavier, I can see the logic in doing so – and some groups are exhausted, too.
“What a baby,” said one elder. “But it hasn’t started for the players.”
• Georgia Pickens’ senior player, senior defender Jordan Davis, has come a long way in my conversations a few days ago. I could see him going to Philly, Baltimore or New Orleans, picking 14, 15 and 16 between the first line.
To get Davis to the top, you have to be comfortable you can get a continuous effort from him than what he showed on the tape last year, where even though he is very close to other directors, his efforts can be quite noticeable at times. .
• I would have noticed what Panthers GM Scott Fitterer had said in his press conference the other day about the sale of youth. Going too low, instead of moving just a little bit, would have allowed Carolina to regain the second option lost in Sam Darnold’s business.
If you can imagine, perhaps, a trade with Houston, you can see how it can work. The Eagles pick 13th overall, and the selection is worthwhile, according to a value chart, 1,150 points. Houston’s second round, 37th overall, is worth 530 points. This brings you to 1,680 points, which is close to the sixth value (1,600 points).
We, too, on the merits of it, did a false trade in the second rumor section showing all of this, suggesting that in order for Washington’s second round to move from 11 to 6, he had to put a fourth round with them. to choose.
I have been in the business of writing bills for 25 years, but their flexibility reflects the work they have done in compiling the list. Someone to me Wednesday how the Bills are in place now where they have to take the many routes mentioned just to make sure they will have the right job open for the guy they are taking in the first round. That is what can lead them to consider a return if, say, the right corner does not exist.
I’m still not against a pilot going to Jacksonville for the first time.
