I don’t think he is a complete piece of shit, but I think he will struggle moving sides. I liked Barton a lot but I am not in mourning.

It was refreshing to see Saban on the draft show this year. At least the guy knows the college players WAY better than any of the talking heads. Saban says we got the sleeper of the draft. I’ll take his word for it. I just wish we had somebody else other than Solari taking the reins to teach him.

I’m out of pocket tonight unfortunately for the draft. I’m going to try to hang on the board, but who does everyone think we will be looking for in the 2nd? RB?LB? Any DT’s worth looking at?

Brooks is ok but wasn’t he hurt? I’m good if he falls but would rather have a healthy player.

Yeah, that was pretty cool. He was more measured than most of the pure media types who gush over everyone, so it meant more coming from him.

I think that they have been too open about it and someone will trade ahead of us.

Thankfully.

I still like Braelon Allen in the 3rd... IMO, the change in offensive philosophy this past season messed him up.. Dowdle would be a good compliment for him.

I like Braelon as well. Although I'm not going to lie, the skipping the 40 bothers me a little. I don't care if he runs a 4.65 forty. He is a big old hammer. He doesn't need to run a great forty and I've seen plenty to know he has enough explosive ability to his game. But it makes it feel like he is hiding something really awful.

Anyway, I still like him. I wouldn't even be opposed to two RBs, Allen in like the late third and then a sixth on say Frank Gore Jr. or someone like that. But I might as well not waste my breath unless Brooks goes before our next pick.

Here's my list of 24, although it doesn't include guys like Paul and Sumataia because I don't see the point in taking another OT-only player. In reality those two probably go off the board before we pick, so it might be more of a top 22.

1. JPJ
2. Johnny Newton
3. Zach Frazier
4. Adonai Mitchell
5. Edgerrin Cooper
6. Cooper Beebe
7. Cooper DeJean
8. Kool-Aid McKinstry
9. Marshawn Kneeland
10. Braden Fiske
11. Keon Coleman
12. Junior Colson
13. Payton Wilson
14. Adisa Isaac
15. Chris Braswell
16. Malachi Corley
17. Jonathon Brooks
18. Ennis Rakestraw
19. Mike Sainristil
20. Austin Booker
21. Ruke Orhorhoro
22. Troy Franklin
23. Dominick Puni
24. Bralen Trice

Your lack of Javon Baker is disturbing.

I'm detecting desirous tones overpromoting McConkey and Dejean. :doh

Is any studio show on any topic not agenda-driven anymore?
