I just want this on the record for the future, not having JAKE GOLDAY in this poll is a YUGE mistake. Catastrophic.

This year’s Carson Sweschinger bruh cmon

5

It would be disrespectful to pick Hill Jr since Golday isn’t available.

I’ll go with Cisse, has a chance to develop into L’Jarius Snead type CB after playing behind Reed for a couple years.

McReary/Branch at NB we are set there.

Primary backup Rock Ya Sin we are set there.

Cisse has time to develop, has elite raw talent & measurables.

Runner up - Connor Lew

I picked Hill Jr, but Golday would have been up there for me too.

Hill Jr>>>Barnes.

Edge is deep we can go into the fourth round for Edge, and it will still be better than Wampum.

Oh man! I’m so torn. How do I not pick Caleb Banks here? Jacas is there too. I think I’m going to pick Anthony Hill Jr because I think he is probably the cleanest pick here…

for the love of god get a long-term answer across from Hutch on this team

i can’t take another year of people saying “we’re good”

Hill is a great AA replacement… But Jacas has far more positional value and there’s a big drop off @ DE after the 2nd round… Plus, the staff is gonna love Jacas, he’s also one of my draft crushes.

For the record, Banks is easily the best talent here, I think the vast majority of teams would agree.

However, a big guy with foot issues… to the SAME foot, 3 separate times… I just can’t do it. If he becomes Chris Jones 2.0 - and I think that’s in the range of outcomes - I’m happy to let it happen on another team.

Though I would prefer they not be in the NFC North

@BubbaBaker60 is gonna be pissed we passed on him though lol

Banks is a difference maker IMO. I really don’t know what to do with him because of injury situation. Glad I’m not making the picks.

With Zion Young available at 43, I propose we take Tra Upps…

Banks is by far the best player on that list. In fact he is a better player than anyone on the 1st round list. This is not the NBA. Players recover from foot injuries all the time. The big man with a foot injury goes back to Sam Bowie in the NBA draft. This game is not played on the hardwood. It is played on turf and grass. I’m not passing on the next Chris Jones or Jeffery Simmons because of some old NBA myth.
