Current betting odds through pick 7 from PFT…

“Based on the betting odds, the first six picks in the draft will be Miami quarterback Cam Ward, Colorado cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, Penn State pass rusher Abdul Carter, LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell, Michigan defensive tackle Mason Graham and Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty. Those are the players slated to be off the board when the Jets pick at No. 7.

If Membou isn’t the Jets’ pick, the player with the next-shortest odds is Penn State tight end Tyler Warren at +280.

There doesn't seem to be much behind that without giving specific recommendations on players that figure to be available. Regarding a pass rusher at #10, who will be available and worth that pick? Are we saying Green or Pearce are THAT much better than other guys that figure to be available at $39/#41 compared to tackles or running backs?

Beyond that, I think it's interesting that round 3 is the best place to address the O-line. With whom? We did last year with Amegadjie and people have already written him off forever.

Regarding the pass rushers, I definitely think green/pearce are much better than any of the 2nd round edge players. Character concerns have knocked both of them down, but they are both top 10 talents IMO.

That's fine if you think so but the article doesn't say anything about that. It's just random "oh take this position here" for no apparent reason.

Ah, I didn’t read the article. In general, I don’t buy into the “must take this position here” philosophy. I definitely favor prioritizing certain positions when drafting early, but every draft is different and it comes down to how the board falls.

Anyone that has written off Kiran “forever” aren’t too bright. None of us really know what he can be one way or another.

I got rid of X. Does Lemming still act like he has sources or does he just regurgitate info now?

I’m somewhat convinced that every single talking head on all major and local networks just regurgitate what everyone else says.

I would love for CCS to start a rumor next year about some obscure prospect is shooting up draft boards to see if anyone picks up on it.

I think Green and Pearce both have higher ceilings than the DE's projected to be available at #39/#41. The questions with them are if Dennis Allen would sign off on DE's their size and the character issues.

I don't think he's saying round 3 is the best place to address the OL, he just has the other positions ranked higher on his list of needs for the Bears.

I wonder if there's any money left to spend in free agency to sign another DE, DT, OL, S, RB or whatever else that they can use to help any position that they weren't able to in the draft. There's still some really good names out there at multiple positions that can help this team.

I mean it's an article from fansided so i wouldn't put too much into that. Everyone is just putting stuff out there for clicks and sometimes they don't put very much thought into what they're putting out there.

I'm just responding to the article. Only 8 days before all this is largely answered.
