They won't. Even though 10 is a luxury pick, that would be very unlike Roseman to do so. I think he'll go best available at 10 and grab his running back at 30 or 62. 

I hope not. But Roseman is a sharp guy and could move back and get him.

As an Eagle fan I would love Bijan, even at 10 but they don't need a RB. They were the best running team with no RB. The o-line could make anyone look good.

I doubt the Eagles draft Bijan either. But if Philly was ever going to spend a high pick on the position this would be the year: young QB and SB window. 

It wouldn’t be the smart thing to do but part of me wants Bijan at 10 and Darnell Washington in Rd. 2 just to watch Philly utterly destroy teams on the ground.

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Bijan in Midnight Green but if they can get Devon Witherspoon at 10 and Charbonet down the line that would be a home run IMO.

Who you want to take?

I'd love to see Arizona trade out of 3, and the first 4 picks are QB.  And we can take Anderson. I'd stay away from the Georgia kid. Go DT at 20.

I agree, they almost have to don't they? They have a ton of needs and someone is going to pay a Kings Ransom for Richardson or if Stroud or Young somehow slip.

I actually have a semi feeling Levis will be higher than the 4th QB off the board.  He has a ton of upside.  Maybe not Richardson levels of upside but a lot of upside.  

I keep hearing the Colts really like Levis at #4.

4 would be way too high for Levis IMO. I could certainly see Seattle moving up for Richardson. That would be a great landing spot for him, learn behind Geno for a year or two.

With 5 picks in the first 2 day's. 

I think there goal should be 3 linemen, and a linebacker. Those are the pressing needs. Anything else they do is icing on the cake.

I think that's a good plan. It's just there defensive line was just so bad last year. Couldn't stop the run to save there lives. They get Adam's back from injury. The free agent additions they made. And draft some more young kid's and that defense is totally overhauled.

I guess I dont underatand why people are down on Levis but high on the others.   He has all the talent.   They say he is an extremely hard worker.  Was named captain 8 days into practice before he was even named starting QB.  Ran a pro style offense.  Was given the freedom to change at the line.  When many college QB read of posterboards raised up on the sidelines he was rattling off 20 word plays in thr huddle.   Huge arm. Can run.  Good size.  Didn't have 1st round WRs galore to throw to like stroud and young.  

And on top of that all he had several different OC changes and is fairly new to playing true QB as he was a backup sort of wildcat guy at Penn State before he transferred.  

[listen2me 23 1,549]

Betting odds have Levis as a slight favorite over Richardson to be the 3rd QB taken.  So perhaps the public is just down on him.

He definitely has the talent and size. He's not really good under pressure, that's when he's made tons of mistakes. He's also a very slow processor. He's more of a one read QB.

With the sale of the franchise, the Redskins have already won the offseason.

thanks for posting that, I had intention of working this thread during the draft, but won't have time to do so

I'll change my OP to make it un official so if somebody else wants to post draft picks they can do so without confusion

[thegeneral 1,443]

Latest mock from McShay who is decent has Hawks getting Jalen Carter at 5 and Nolan Smith at 20.

I’d be very happy with that.

[listen2me 23 1,549]

This class sort of sucks.   Trade down has never looked more appealing.   Of course all depends if anyone slides or not.  Packers have the 15th.  Rare they have a pick in the top half.  And it just seems like no mans land.  If they go Tackle so help me God.  

[Big Guy 1,400]

just over a week away

 

[Hardcore troubadour 12,755]

The 25th pick has been traded the last six years in a row. The Giants have the 25th pick

This is a weak class, yes.

QB, WR, OT, S, LB off the top of my head

CB is deep but the top talent is less than Sauce or Stingley

I feel like Stroud and Young are pretty safe with a decent floor. Richardson is a specimen but far from a QB, fools gold in my mind. 

Who's so special from last year's class? Purdy was a crapshoot

Packers will probably go TE at 15 

Safety is deep as F. I'll agree on WR, it's ok nothing special. There will be numerous LBs available at 15, and damn good ones. 

This is an amazing CB and O-Line draft, deep.

The Giants have a lot of needs, all over the roster.

Yep totally agree on Richardson. Last year Pickett and maybe 1 or 2 others pan out. Not a good class but not crazy about this one either.

Barkley is not holding out.  He skipped voluntary workouts.  Big Difference
