How Mayock have Kizer as his Number 1 ranked qb for the WHOLE offseason, than drop him to 4th right before the draft 🤔🤔🤔

We didn't even play no games🤔

John Ross is the only pick that really makes sense here, unless the Ravens absolutely love someone like Conley or don't like Ross. If one of the top d-linemen fall far enough I could see them trying to move up and grab them with Jernigan and Dumervil gone and Suggs aging. But the way the drafts shaken out here, definitely John Ross.

I was joking yesterday about the Panthers taking McCaffrey in the mock draft, but in real life it looks like a LOT of momentum is moving that way.

I'm with Deacon in that I don't love the prospect of taking a TE early but it seems like all the beat writers like McCaffrey and Howard at 8 now (even if Fournette is still on the board)

Carolina would ABSOLUTELY take Fournette if he was on the board and they wanted a RB. He's like the prototypical Carolina RB.

But they also still have Stewart, who is THE prototypical Carolina RB.

The arguments I'm seeing in favor of the Bill Belichick favorite looking RB over Fournette is that he would better compliment Stewart and Cam because he offers more as a change of pace back and in the passing game. Fournette is absolutely the better pure runner in the north-south sense but he's not as versatile in all facets of the offense as the white guy.

Of course, that argument is kind of predicated on the assumption that you're still getting something from Stewart which is...dicey.

Patriots wet dream running back will either be an absolute monster or a mediocre slot receiver in a few years. I don't think there's much in between. Fournette's ceiling is equally high and not quite as low of a floor, though his skillset is what the league is getting away from as everyone wants a RB that can catch and run routes.

Stewart is 30 years old though and Fournette is the best pure RB prospect since AD. I don't think they'd hesitate to take fournette

Here's the deal the Giants have on the table for Hankins:

The offer from the Giants for Hankins is four years, $28 million, The Post has learned.

More:

Hankins is only 25 years old and, if he accepts the offer to stay with the Giants, he could become a free agent again at 29. It certainly looks as if Hankins' agent, Kevin Poston, misread the market. A source said the first contract sought from Hankins' camp was for $15 million per year, a ridiculous demand that quickly dropped to $10 million per year — more on average than the five-year, $46.25 million deal Damon ”Snacks'' Harrison got from the Giants a year ago. Harrison is considered the best run-stopping defensive tackle in the league. The Giants value Hankins and see him as a bona fide starter, but they do not view him as a difference-maker in the mold of Harrison.

You need some new representation Big Hank.

I probably won't have a selection til noon but Titans will be drafting either a corner or safety. Titans getting lit up on deep threats and can't hold a 4th quarter lead. So defense is much needed

We'll see.

I would personally prefer Fournette over McCaffrey.

But that's way too convenient a fit for Gettleman to actually make the pick. He'll reach for a defensive tackle (not Allen) instead.

At 18 Baker or Melfonwu might be a reach so best available corner fits.
