OFFICIAL 2023 Draft

[Flatlyner]

I believe it is very possible for first year Head Coach DeMeco Ryans, who is a defensive coach to draft Will Anderson and look for his QB later or next year. However, I still believe Stroud will be their choice and everything else is just smoke.

This could totally be the case. Perhaps they are trying to get the Cards to swap picks and grab Anderson. Wouldn't be unheard of. At this moment, I think I'm putting Anderson at #2 in my mock though.

That previous link may have been brought on by a very strong late night bong toke.

Interesting read on the QBs:

They could trade with the Colts too, in Peter Schrager's latest mock.

Yes, I could see Colts or Lions realistically trying to get up there for Stroud. But the other rumor associated with this is that the Texans gave Will Anderson a perfect prospect score. Any of these trade downs would undoubtedly cost them a chance of taking him.

Found it to be a good read with some interesting notes.

Based on Rams WR visits, they will draft another smallish WR.

Stroud often has that look on his face my kids get when I have them do chores. Kind of pouty. Kind of disgusted.

You trade Havenstein, but don't draft an OT, but do draft 3 edges & 2 QBs... Actually might have to draft 4 QBs with that approach.

So if I draft somebody with a T by their name regardless if you don't know anything about them that would make you happy?

Guess you support the draft for needs formula from the 90's huh?

Not likely to be there at R2.36.

With 11 picks I think you can find an OT to put in the development pipeline at some point in the draft vs 2 rookie QBs.

And if moving Havenstein you have to take a OT early...you just have to and there will be solid guys there in the 1st 3 rds.

I mean we don't even have a 3rd OT on the roster that has any shot of starting a game and you are now counting on Noteboom & Jackson to stay healthy.

Is there a database of scores from past classes? I know people are putting stock in this, but I'd be interested in seeing how predictive it is before I determine how much stock to put in it.

Interesting conversation on Bijan and RB in general up high. Oh and is Brad the buffest GM in the league or what. Each arm contains a Howie Roseman.
