Looking at that board could you guys see a trade with the Texans for their #23 and #89 for Duke our #49 and 2 5ths? If someone like Oliver or one of the OTs slide would that get it done?

I agree with all of that, but if I'm spending a high pick on a player they have to have the instincts to play the position. I love the upside but white could be the taylor Mays of the LBer position. We dont have a chance at him anyways if we do trade up it will be in the back end of the 1st. I could see a package of picks plus Duke to get to Green bays pick at 30.

That's why I'm so high on Pratt, he converted from safety to LBer so he has experience in coverage. All 3 are better vs the run, they aren't freak athletes that jump off the screen. They are quicker to react, get in the gap, and tackle better. White has a ton of potential, but he also could be a bust.

I wouldn't mortgage our future for White. I'm on the record saying G. Pratt, K. Hodge, and T. Watson are just as good if not better. If we trade up it has to be for one of the premier DTs or maybe J. Williams

I love what Dorsey has done but every offseason he makes one head scratcher. Last year it was Carl Nassib this year it was Kindred. I also though Fells should have been kept for blocking duties and goaline jump balls. Harris and Fells are 6'7 and you cant double both

I think Dorsey will grab an offensive lineman but it's a pretty weak class. That's the only position we didn't spend big on this offseason. My board would look something like this but there is no telling who falls to us. Maybe Bosa punches a Nun with down syndrome and falls to us. 1. J. Simmons DT 2. N. Adderly S/CB 3. J. Tillery DT 4. J. Abrams SS 5. G. Pratt LB 6. G. Bradbury OC

This guy may not be a bird watcher but its obvious hes seen a cockatoo...

Our new O-line coach is from Green Bay and they have 3 interesting OTs. Seems like a good fit for Duke so I wonder why there hasn't been any rumors. Bikitari isn't going anywhere, but Bulaga or Spriggs could be available.

So we traded a backup DE for a special teams ace. I can live with that.

Makes no sense but I expect we are bringing in Berry or Burnett

Rd2- G. Pratt- LB- NCST- Pratt is a converted safety who has become a well rounded LB. He can lay the lumber, has good instincts, and blitzes well. He has excellent size and athleticism do if he falls to us in the 2nd he is a steal. I think he is the best LB in the draft. Rd3- C. Gardener-Johnson- CB/S- Florida- Hes an athletic player who loves to hit. He needs to be more consistent in coverage but we can afford to be patient with him because of Kindred. Hopefully by the time Kindred gets hurt again CGJ will be ready to step up. Rd4- K. McGary- OT- Washington- I think McGary has talent to go sooner but he has short arms and for some GMs that's a deal breaker. He is a great run blocker that gets to the 2nd level well. His pass blocking technique is pretty rough but I dont see anything that can't be coached up. He played LT and RT so he has some versatility. Rd5- R. Anderson- RB- Oklahoma- The talent is just too good to pass up here. He reminds me of Kareem Hunt so who better to replace Kareem Hunt after this year. We have the depth to redshirt him all season and make sure he is 100% when he sees the field. Rd5- M. Jackson- CB- Miami- big, talented, and has swagger. You really can't ask for more out of a late round pick. Could push for the #2 CB spot sooner than most would think. Rd5- D. Christmas-DT- Florida St.- Big and strong with solid hand technique. He doesn't play very fast but holds his own in the running game. He consistently bench presses opposing lineman back 2 yards and does a decent job of shedding blockers. Rd6- M. Crosby- DE- E. Michigan- high-motor guy that has a frame to develop. Not the greatest athlete but if he can add 25 lbs he could be nice rotational run stopper. Regardless he seems like a perfect special teams guy and in Rd6 that's great value. Rd7- J. Browning- QB- Washington- we need a backup and Browning has a great skill set for that role. He is an accurate game manager. He seems like the type of player that will light up preseason then gets to sit behind Baker and watch his value rise. Maybe in 2 years we can get a 3rd for him come contract time. I didn't get to study as much this year so I know I'm missing some gems. Let me know what you guys think and let me know who the sleepers I missed are.

If Jeffrey Simmons falls to the 30s than I think we need to trade up. Fingers crossed

He's a perfect fit for our defense so let's hope this gets done. He was the top rated coverage linebacker in the league and our defense needs linebackers that can cover. I would be really happy with this but we really need to find depth at DE, and I dont see much in the draft.

Let's hope he doesn't get drug tested anytime soon. Looks like he smoked all of the weed before that picture

Kindred isn't bad so I don't think he's desperate. There were rumors of Gronk and Jalen Ramsey being available. Who knows but I'm excited
