That would actually be awesome.

Here’s a weird β€œwhat if” scenario: the draft is loaded at RB so teams may feel they can wait. What do you do if Ashton Jeanty is on the board at #23? He’d easily be the proverbial β€œBest Player Available”, so would you draft him regardless of need?

I doubt he’s there, of course, but the same could hold true for someone like Malachi Starks at Safety. If you truly want to compete for a championship now, how much need and β€œpositional value” are you willing to overlook?

RB Bijan Robinson was the last "generational" RB available in the Draft. Gute passed on him, meaning,  he did not move up to get him. Robinson went pick #8, to Atlanta, in the 2023 NFL Draft. The Packers drafted Van Ness at the 13th spot, in that draft.

Remember the Aaron Rogers draft when the cameras kept watching him squirm as he was passed over time and time again?

I’ve decided I want that and MORE to happen to Shedeur Sanders this April. I’m just so sick of the Sanders hype machine. The kid hasn’t played a single snap in the NFL and he’s already demanding that teams listen to him. It’s just so annoying. I can just imagine what Vince Lombardi would have thought of him.

The media is complicit in this sham. Were he just another athlete, not from the loins of Deion, he wouldn't be getting near this amount of hype.

But someone is going to be dumb enough to take him in R1. Then we will hear for the next 5 years how nothing is his fault. It won't happen because they just got their next bust, but there was never anyone that was more destined to be a Bear than Shadeur.

Oh I think Vincent  Lombardi would have had no reservations passing on him if he didn't  think  he wouldn't fit in the "team".

One tried  and  true thing about the draft is that one team will believe  the hype, is dumb historically, or the organization is desperate for a QB in order to save jobs will take him.   The first 3 teams in the draft TN, Cleveland, and NYG all need a qb and one of them I think just might pull the trigger.

Round 6-7, probably.  He's really raw and has short arms. Did have a good Senior Bowl, though, so someone will probably throw a pick at him.

Another guy they could be interested in on Day 3 as even a bit taller version of MVS is Dont'e Thornton from Tennessee. He ran faster than I thought he would with a 4.30 40. He gives effort as a blocker, though he wasn't really beefy enough to move non-DBs.

Jayden Higgins probably made some money this weekend. The big question was sufficient speed and he ran a 4.47.

Antwan Wells probably lost money. He was a 'cock transfer to Ole Miss and didn't have a good year. He was maybe a "his best year wasn't his last" candidate but he measured in at 6'1" and ran a relatively poor 4.58.
