You’ve never seen a player picked after a guy at the same position outplay the guy(s) taken before him???
This isn’t some foreign concept to think a guy drafted later in the first round could be better than a guy taken earlier in the first round

The other teams believe they are picking the better player. But you somehow know better? LOL
Is it a foreign concept that guys are drafted higher in the draft because they are usually better?
The point is to not get cute and just stay at 9 and pick who they think is the best OT. Don't get cute because for every one of those trade back and get Wright mock drafts, there's one where CHI trades back and doesn't get Wright (or any of the other two OTs).

lol well this is certainly a mock...
trading between division rivals so your opponent can get the qb of their choice that you now have to face twice a year? cmon now...
also dont agree that richardson is taken by seahawks... carroll is under contract through 2025 but my guess is it will be a year to year thing for him...having said that my take is he will want immediate impact guys and while schneider is the GM, i'd imagine carroll has some sort of veto power. my guess is seahawks take wilson or carter at 5...

Trayvon walker was drafted before Aidan Hutchinson last year. Hutchinson was pretty much unanimously viewed as the better player but walker was picked for upside. Also teams can view players as a better fit and therefore they go higher because of that.

Then don’t get cute and pick Wright at 9 if that’s your concern
Right now, no teams have made any pick. It’s all speculation. Some “experts” like PJJ or Jones more than Wright. I can find “experts” that like Wright more
Comes down to whomst poles likes the most.
But yes, IMO Wright is the best tackle in the draft. If that triggers you or something then so be it

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Stay at 9 and have your pick of the best of the OT. If that's Wright, then great.

I like Wright. But I can’t get behind him being OT1. He was a long term starter before this year and kind of a mild disappointment. Not sure he was even a round 1 candidate heading into the season. He only looked this good at RT. Paris was good at RG. He was good at LT. He’s got more versatility to his game IMO. If he’s there at 9 and I’m Poles I’m sprinting to the podium.

And that’s perfectly fine to feel that way
I would just counter with before this past season, when he played LT his junior year…it was a new system that asked different things of its linemen. That was the year Heupel came in with the new offense.
That may or may not be a big deal to you, but it’s something to consider at least. I also don’t feel he was as poor at it as you think

Yeah I think Williams was still solid as a rookie. Just got banged up a bit but good run defender and showed flashes pass rush wise. That is pretty much what I would expect from Carter.

Didn't realize Hooker was so old...
www.cbssports.com
What are we doing with Hendon Hooker?
So not exactly a take, but let me explain my thought on the Tennessee quarterback. Hooker has a great story. He seems like a nice guy. But what are we doing speculating him going in the first round? He's 25. That absolutely matters. Trevor Lawrence isn't 25 until 2024. Beyond that, he tore his ACL in late November. So he's unlikely to be fully ready for the start of his rookie season. He'll be 30 at the end of his rookie deal. Hooker simply doesn't provide anywhere close to the same ROI possibility as 99% of quarterback prospects.
