Probably not, but 3 of those 5 teams he visited aren't drafting him in round 1 unless they traded back up

Jackson could be in the round 2 mix for Allen at Edge.

W.J is the better corner of the two as it stands right now. However I'd have to factor in his injury history and Hunter has a bit more upside. I'd slightly lean towards Hunter but would be happy with both.

I think you take Banks over him.

Don't tell me who to take! j/k
I won't die on the hill, but I like Conerly a pretty decent amount right now. That said, I like Banks a lot too. I may have let the mixed messages of him not making it as a tackle cloud my judgment though. Before all the noise, Banks was my favorite tackle. And, doesn't need to be said, I don't claim to be an expert in this, but I just feel like Conerly has a high ceiling.

Well, of course GMs do some "tactical" visits for draft maneuvering purposes. It sucks for draftees, but it's just part of what they're signing up for. Plus, they know a GM may want to grab them in the future based on a good interview.

I think it depends on ownership, and if they are sensible at looking at long-term success over the short term supposed need to take Ward to try to save their jobs.
Ironically, I think trading out and not taking Ward is better for the team’s long-term success.
So yes, the GM should be able to tell ownership that he would rather acquire picks and draft a blue chip player rather than taking a career backup QB like Ward or Sanders (my opinion obviously). Build the team the right way and focus on QB next year.
Now if the GM feels like Ward can be an elite franchise QB, then obviously draft him. But if he thinks that, that would be far more worrisome to me if I was the owner than if he came to me and said he wanted to trade out of the top spot.

NO, atl, cincy (unless they plan to use him at G which isn't a good idea and also ignore the glaringly terrible defense)

Gm can do whatever they want, it's his first year. The ownership has already shown to be impatient and impulsive. Very few nfl teams have patience with gms/coaches.

So Jeanty, Hampton, Johnson will have visited.
Bears are most definitely taking a RB with one of their top 3 picks, Ben needs his new weapon.

OBJ kinda sucks in Cincy. Would assume teams are checking to see if he can play RT too since he was only a LT in college

That would be an absolutely abysmal use of their draft pick. It is cincy though, so I guess it's possible in that sense

Sure they might draft Warren but trading up sounds like a bit of a reach to me

I wouldn't trade up for Warren. I'd trade up for Jeanty if it only cost #41.

I wouldn’t trade up for anyone besides Carter, and even still why give up draft capital when there is deep talent in this draft

I don't feel like we have nearly as many holes. Jeanty would be a HUGE upgrade. What I'm looking at right now at #10 would be in impact player. To me, that's RB, TE, maybe LT/DE if the pick starts. #39 and #41 are for depth, and future starters. Jeanty would have an IMMEDIATE impact. Would Hampton? Henderson? Judkins? Kaleb? Maybe. But there are only a few blue chip OFF players, and Jeanty is one of them.
Whatever they do, they have my trust. I expect them at #10 to go RB, TE, LT, DE, or DT. That's it.
