In the Mahomes thread you question who the kid is and why bother taking him.

Pretend for a moment our front office says he's our #1 target.

Still cool with how 'simple' it is?

If our brain trust thinks that Mahomes is their #1 target then line em up and send an armor piercing shell through each brain in line.

So it's not that simple then, I guess.

...nice talk

Tell Myles that if we draft him he can put his salary towards a retractable roof for the stadium.

.....the more I've been thinking about that over the years I really DO think that northern, cold weather stadiums should have a roof of some sort. Not JUST for the fans who freeze their asses off but also to keep players from using that excuse (at least for games and practices)

Garrett prefers to be drafted by a team that doesnt play in cold weather.

If by chance NE would draft him, he wouldn't bitch about playing for Belicheat.

Oooh... Then if we're drafting first, tell the 49ers we'll swap picks- at the price of a draft pick...

Even the players have turned into wimps.... Crap, I've been to plenty of games in assorted Domes, Detroit, Indy, St. Louis. If you like that ambiance- stay home and watch the game on the tube, and save yourself a ton of money.

I've been to a bunch of games where the temperatures were in the single digits- and it's not an issue if you know how to dress for it.

A fourth round center and this draft would be perfect.

We don't need 3 OL and Dalvin Cook will be a very good NFL RB.

jiggins7919

If we get lucky (stop laughing), Reiter could be our center. Maybe not an allstar, but possibly "serviceable", right? And before you dismiss the Dalvin Cook selection, remember Crow might not be back, and we could very easily need a premier RB. I'm obviously an FSU homer, but Cook is a rare talent that can house the ball whenever he touches it, and he can also hurt you through the air. Additionally, he will pick up the blitz too. I'm not saying it's what I WOULD DO, but it'd be fun!

PoeticG

I've heard several people say Cook is their chosen RB.

I thought that Leonard Fourette was the de facto front runner for top RB this draft?

I also really like McCafferey.

Who do you like the best though?

tiamat63

If we lose Crow then I'm cool rolling with McCaffery 2nd and possibly holding steady with what we have.

So many ways to be effective on offense in today's NFL. If you have several capable backs, you're good to go.

Ya, I remember it well. Damn, would analytics have led Sam to try the FG instead? I thought about that when Hue stated that analytics leads to his play calling. That was why he went for 2 early amongst other plays

There was pain for me that day too Mud- but it had nothing to do with my toes. I was sitting in what was to become the Dawg Pound and Red Right 88 happened right in front of me. It's a nightmare I'll never get over.

But on a physical level, I was quite toasty in my Gerry Expedition parka that day swilling Jack Daniels with my pals. Who BTW, happened to be in town from their home in Alaska- they weren't much concerned about the weather either, LOL!! Though Tim was warning me about the potential dangers of walking into an unheated cabin when it's 40 below and hitting a shot or two of super cooled booze- people have died from trying that.

My coldest game ever happened a few years later against the Rams. Our traveler beers were freezing in our hands on the walk over from the Tailgate to the Stadium.

I say if we're gonna get a QB let's protect him... what do ya say? lol

Then we got Myles Garrett's counterpart, on the cheap. We also picked up our new backfield. Duke Johnson and Donnel Pumphrey will be lightning and quicksilver back there! Stevenson is also a guy that will help out the QB. All in?

darren15

Only problem with that in reality is the Jets are very high on Trubisky and he will be gone by 10 .....like the Hall pick in the 4th but we need a corner as I think Haden will get traded

RoyceRolls

Maybe just a bit of an overreaction to our O-line woes.

Tour2ma

Anything worth doing.... etc...

Mudfly

I predict we draft 4 RB's and a LT.....
