Key word there is "yet". The 2018 season will be Edmunds's age 20 season. Ballard likes young athletes that show good ability for the game that also have room to grow and get better (see: Hooker, Malik), so if he believes this project is more of a long term project, he's likely to value Edmunds higher than Smith.

Grover and Bashem. Depends the role also and what weight Edmunds will play at.

Of course you do

Lots of possibilities, but I think my hope right now is:

1) CLE - Allen
2) NYG - Darnold
3) NYJ - QB3
4) MIA/BUF - QB4
5) Barkley or Nelson
6) Chubb

I think the worst-case scenario is 4 QBs + Chubb go top 5. That would really hurt trade down opportunities and I think Ballard would end up staying put and taking Smith or Edmunds.

I don't think that 4 QB's + Chubb scenario is remotely possible, BUT that would be the one scenario where we would definitely pick Barkley.

Are you factoring in the chance of teams trading up? I can see several scenarios where 4 QBs + Chubb go top 5.

1) QB / QB (NYG/BUF/MIA) / QB / QB (BUF/MIA) / Chubb
2) QB / Chubb / QB / QB (BUF/MIA) / QB
2) QB / QB / QB / Chubb (CLE) / QB

Mingo was playing Edge and had questions about his ability to hold up there due to his size. You could put Edmunds at Edge, but he's more likely to be an impact player at MLB, where he has no size concerns whatsoever and is a premier athlete for the position. It does require trust that Eberflus will develop him, but with Smith, you get those same size concerns Mingo had.

Draft tidbits:

-Mayfield isnt going later than three.
-Chubb is either going two or four.
-Chargers have "legitimate significant interest in Lamar Jackson."
-Josh Allen wont fall further than Arizona.

Point number two is an obvious smokescreen.

.@StampedeBlue has learned that Georgia OL Isaiah Wynn is in town to meet with the Colts.

Could definitely fill a Guard spot, I could see him as a solid plug and play at Guard in his rookie year.

2nd round, though. Can’t reach for him in the 1st.
