2022 Draft

[Puck]

I get that we need playmakers on offense


BUT. We will never compete in the playoffs without a shut down secondary.

The gauntlet in the the playoffs is brutal in the AFC

Better be able to slow these other teams down to win.

I want defense in the draft. Then again. I always do. CB's Dline and Safeties

But will always look at all positions if a good player is available

[YDFL Commish]

Christian Watson.

[Lov2fish]

2nd round: Kyler Gordon CB
3rd. round: John Metchie III, WR

After that I have no idea. Not sure any of these will even be there for us, but it's who I like and can be there, maybe.

I am not feeling great about our secondary right now and hope we address it in the draft and free agency, though unless somehow Campbell stays healthy we seem thin at WR also.

Some thoughts.....

2nd - Jahan Dotson WR Penn State
3rd - LT Best available
4th - TE Dulcich UCLA
Michah McFadden LB IU with one of our 5ths, love this guys energy!

Even if Campbell stays healthy, which he won't, we're still very thin at WR. Hope Ballard brings in at least 1 via FA.

Just did the PFF draft simulator which was only 3 rounds and picked Nick Bonitto (Edge Oklahoma) at 42 and Carson Strong at 73. Neither is an immediate need (although it's always good to add pass rush), but like you said BPA.

[IndyNorm]

And here's my 7 rounder at profootballnetwork.com:

42. Alec Pierce WR Cincinnati

73. Carson Strong QB Nevada

122. Darian Kinnard OT Kentucky

159.Charlie Kolar TE Iowa State

179. Amare Barno EDGE Virginia Tech

216. Jaylen Watson CB Washington State

239. Allie Green IV CB Missouri

Man I don't even give a F to run a simulator or name a name- just get Ryan some people to throw the ball to, period. I don't give a damn if he uses every pick we have for a combination of WR and TE's- quit ignoring their importance!

[Ironshaft]

My simulation:

I did not like any trades offered.

Rd 2 - #42 - CB Roger McCreary, Auburn
Rd 3 - #73 - TE Jalen Wydermyer, Texas A&M
Rd 4 - #122 - WR Wan'Dale Robinson, Kentucky
Rd 5 - #159 - S Smoke Monday, Auburn
Rd 5 - #179 - OT Obinna Eze, TCU
Rd 6 - #216 - WR Jerreth Sterns, Western Kentucky
Rd 7 - #239 - WR Bo Melton, Rutgers

I really like McCreary and I like pairing him with a lower round safety from the same school.

Wydermyer is one of the most complete TEs in the draft and I see a "Jack Doyle" like effect by him.

Throw the dart at the board on WR and hope that one or more of them stick!
