Day 2 Best Available FRIDAY

I say it was a preoccupied war room, not unhappy, not stressed.

Brad looked like Brad did when he was charting the board in anticipation of picking LaPorta or Branch. Determined, anxious, thoughtful.

Someone they love is within reach. Must find a trade partner.

I think if you keep that in mind and then listen to the presser again, you’ll land at the same spot.

My gut feeling is telling me Brad is trading up to get Carson Schwesinger.

I have someone else in mind, but am keeping it to myself until we’re on the clock (or they’re taken).

My current best available are:

  1. Horton
  2. Winston
  3. Mike Green (likely not on our board)
  4. Revel
  5. Charles Grant
  6. Mason Taylor
  7. Swinson (also likely not on our board)
  8. JTT
  9. Femi
  10. Shemar Turner

I doubt we’ll take Green or Swinson, and Taylor and Grant seem unlikely too, but I’d be stoked with any of the rest. Some could argue Tyleik makes Turner less likely, but they basically play different positions.

You were literally driving the Johnny Football train back then, so there’s that.

I also remember you saying the Lions would rue the day they didn’t draft Laquon Treadwell over Taylor Decker.

It’s all in fun, though, and you may be right about Sanders. Time will tell. But the NFL is loud and clear on whether Sanders’ skills are enough to compensate for having to deal with pops, right now the NFL is saying naw.

Femi is my guess

Josaiah Stewart is definitely in play, just don’t know that it’s at 60

Still 12 guys available at DE/EDGE with a early 3rd round grade or better.

Then its a drop off to 4th round grades.

But i agree Green aint on our board. Dude might be suspended for a year. (Allegedly)

So 11 players with a 40-70th OA grade.

Outside of Branch, Brad has always drafted somebody off the radar that most of the fanbase wasn’t crazy about in the 2nd round. Levi, Paschal, LaPorta, Rakestraw. It’ll likely be a guy that wasn’t high on most Den mock draft lists.

Rakestraw was a pretty popular guy mocked to us last year . Few even had him round 1 to us

Yes but after the Terrion pick, the double dip at CB surprised a lot. I remember the live thread, very few if any were pushing for Rakestraw. Valuewise it was solid but it wasn’t a need. I’d qualify it as a surprise.

I’m saying Higgins.

Character stuff. Green has 2 sexual assault charges. Swinson was suspended half a game for conduct detrimental to the team and in the Beast Dane said he could be standoffish with coaches.
