Personally, I would target Jones or Williams (or Budda Baker) for Safety and then any of the CBs listed would be a great pickup. Although with Crowell not signing his RFA tender, the Browns will need to prepare for the scenario where he sits a year, so they could take a RB if a talent falls within their reach. I could see them moving both up in two and down in three.

If the Jets can find a way to draft one of those top CBs, Lamp/Robinson/Pocic, and/or Cook, I'm happy.
Curious as to where Deshone Kizer will end up though...

D'onta Foreman?
Also agree with you on the targets too.. I will forgive the Peppers pick if we get Budda..
I really like Foreman. Hes gonna be an excellent pickup.
I think my big questions for Round 2 is where/if Chris Godwin and Alvin Kamara go

I think the fact that the Jets purged sooooooo much "veteran" leadership really helps boost how important that facet of Adams is. It's hard for a rookie to come in and be a "leader", but when the team has no identity on defense it's way easier to change the culture and become a leader as a young player.
Also for what it's worth, I don't see RB as a need whatsoever with the gaping holes we have throughout the whole team. Forte and Powell actually played pretty well last year all things considered (Powell especially toward the end of the season, him and Enunwa were our biggest playmakers), so I'd rather have a top corner or Robinson over Cook in all honesty. The offensive line went from mediocre to trash, no back in the league can fix that lol.

I just hope the Bills can end up with a decent LB and WR by the end of today. Probably best to go LB in the second, somebody like Cunningham from Vanderbilt if he's still there since it doesn't seem like LB is as deep as WR in this draft. Then maybe get lucky and get Godwin out of Penn State with their first 3rd rounder (even though he's probably not making it out of the second round). Then maybe Safety or O-Line after that.

Solid points but it seems like the organization prefers Powell in the passing game and Forte is getting old. I don't think the need for a running back is a glaring hole but I just think Cook is a great talent and he didn't sit out his bowl game. That's not really relevant but it gives me an idea of the type of player he is.

We did it.
An interesting name in play at No. 33 for the #Packers: #NotreDame QB DeShone Kizer. GB is getting trade calls, but could stick and pick.

Wentz actually played in a pro style offense though. He was much farther along in his development.

I thought they really liked Hundley? Rumor seems like smoke

Yikes. Unless the organization thinks Aaron might walk away earlier than he might need to, this doesn't make much sense to me.
Im pretty sure they are trying to sell the pick to someone who wants Kizer

I'm fine with Peppers. Thought he Might be our safety pick at 33 if there

Very happy with the Lions taking Jarrad Davis. Seems like a great talent and great leader.
RIP Peppers' career though. I always thought he needed 1 more year at Michigan to focus on 1 position. He's raw and can be molded into a killer run stopping strong safety so I was still optimistic about him going to somewhere to develop like... Seattle, New England, Pittsburgh, etc... not Cleveland. Ouch. Good luck to ya.

I wonder if the Jets are in play. I honestly think they need to give Hack a chance but I am hearing this organization is very much not sold on Christian.

We won't forgive Floys negativity. He's our boy now. Ohio state fans are taking this hard, they're being weird boys. Seems to be a Guy Greg Williams wanted. Think browns did a lot of work on him

While all true the next step of the equation is the coaching and development he will receive.
Regardless of what I think of Doug the HC (I'd take Chip back in a heartbeat come back Chip!!!!) but I loved that two former QBs in Doug and our OC Frank Reich (who is also always rumored to be the next HC candidate) developed Wentz. Goes a long way for the young QB to learn from guys who have done it.
Does Chicago have that kind of coaching and development set up? John Fox is primarily a def coach. Does his staff possess the proper teachers?

I haven't watched any college so have no clue, but a CB or safety and as a someone already said might need a RB depending on what the Crow does.
I'd like a FS so we have a pair to grow together.
Is Mixon the guy who punched a women and their is video of it? If so how is he even in the mix for anyone?
Also Browns-GAF Are you mad we didn't go all in for a QB?
I don't get it from my understanding of this years class, there was no real QB stand outs this year, so i'm glad we didn't over pay or wash a high pick on what might have ended up being like Quinn, Weeden, McCoy.
And Surely are luck has to change and we can take a shot in a later round and end up with this years Russell Wilson or Dak Prescott? Whens it gona be our time!!

Dear Philly Gaf:
You did a great job representing the city last night, that was the craziest I've seen the draft and it was a really cool scene to see on TV.
Good work.

I wouldn't either of these guys on the Eagles. Kamara especially if they want to avoid character issues with both Cook and Mixon.
Godwin's comparison I keep reading is Sterling Sheppard but the following list is what I want. At least two of the following:
Kevin King CB
Chidobe Awuzie CB
Quincy Wilson CB
Teez Tabor CB
Obi Melifonwu S
Water is wet.
TJ Watt is a motherfuckin Steeler!

They're shopping the pick for those that want Kizer. I'd love to see them trade down a bit & possible get Kevin King & a solid RB like Cook or Mixon. That's be my dream scenario as a Packers fan.
Why spend a lot of draft picks on a mediocre prospect where they have to sit a year to be ready, when you could spend the same number of picks to move up next year, in a (probably) better draft to get a prospect who is more ready to play Day 1?
I'm fine with their approach thusfar.

Never forget..
Pls stop this
I don't need your forgiveness
You can have him
I will say he knows how to work the hype machine..
He knows not what he does..
Pls stop not this
Wait. The Texans are gonna have a RB carry their offense and have great line play?
We have to steal Floyd's heart so he will know this to be true.
Skip Bayless jinx vs Cleveland football jinx. This is going to be interesting.

He's know he's about to get paid.
Godwin reminds me more of also former Penn Stater Allen Robinson. If they trade back and take him I'd be happy. And Kamara got suspended at Bama but has been a model citizen since then, there's nothing really to give me pause. He's definitely more potential than production but he fits what Doug wants to in the offense extremely well. But I was more talking about in general where those two go, not necessarily to the Eagles.
As for the others, I'd pretty much take any of those CBs if they don't get Cook. Probably King > Wilson > Awuzie > Tabor. Obi would be cool too but unless they convert him to a CB I don't see him contributing as much as the others

Just listened to Howie's pc. Said the pick last night was Douglas's. He said Joe came into his office back in December and told him they had to get this kid.
