I think Jameson Williams will fall because of the injury. I think Jordan Davis will drop because of his weight. Either of these guys would be a good pick IMO.Just don’t reach for second round talent.
Prediction for best player available at 29
- Thread starter Kebo
- Start date
David Bell.
I’m hoping Williams falls but I think that talent is too good to pass on before 29.

I could see Jameson Williams. Maybe Nakobe Dean for lack of size.
Agree with Williams and Dean. Possibly Olave ( route running undervalued), Charles Cross (OK a longshot, but may drop for lacking huge size or length - I have seen mocks where he's available). I'd like to say Linderbaum drops cuz he weighs in under 295, and anti-center bias......but nah. Unfortunately.

29 is typically a cursed position in the draft, so unless a stud falls to us I hope we trade down and gobble up athletic bodies

I could see Dean and Williams possibly being there.
I am seeing Olave all over the map including early R2.
Kenyon Green could slip a bit. Zion Johnson should be there.
ALL the RB's and TE's will there but none are worth #29.

Nah. I wouldn’t.

RB might well be BPA at #29(probably not but it is possible, especially the way some overrate RB's).
I have a pretty firm philosophy about drafting RB's early. I am against it close to 100% of the time.
The ONLY times I would consider a 1st round RB would be with a very late pick(like Miami has this year)and a glaring need at the position with no other serious needs at more important positions.
Miami does not qualify under that scenario.
The other scenario is if there is a truly generational RB on the board. And I am talking Jim Brown, OJ Simpson, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders and Eric Dickerson.

I think we could draft rb in 2nd or 3rd round . Cook for one. Wr is going to be what I'm hoping for with 1st or 2nd round depending how draft falls.
I will say I would really like whiskey linebacker leo Chenal in later 3rd round. I think he he would fit perfectly in our defense.
I would have Chenal around 6th or 7th best linebacker.
Imo makes no sense to compare him to guys like N. Dean. You're going to ask them to win in very different ways. But, Chenal is the best LB at the LOS/beating OL by a wide margin, and I think he's a pretty high-end athlete for his size.
Who would you compare him to?
I think if you take Dean and Lloyd off list. Who do you think fits our need at linebacker better then Chenal?
