Kelvin Banks, OL, Texas | Ranking: 26

Brugler: “Despite not moving to the offensive line until high school, he looks like he has been playing there his entire life — it wasn’t a coincidence the Longhorns’ rise mirrored Banks’ tenure (Texas’ wins increased each of his three seasons in the program).”

Is he really saying "you can't even tell he didn't play OL in junior high?"

That's such a weird thing to say.

Didnt aaron donald fall in the draft due to his arm length and height.

Aidan hutchinson also has tiny trex arms and seems to dominate. Guy was one of the favorits for DPOTY prior to his injury

My guess is arm length might mean more on offense for tackles as you need to get your arms on guys, but probably still not really important compared to other traits.

Donald actually has long arms especially for his size…and he had infinitely more production than graham in college. Not to mention was way more athletic and strong. He fell due to his height/weight and really, just pure stupidity. It was obvious he was going to be a stud

I was devastated when the rams took Donald. I thought he was going to be a bear for sure. That pick was a no brainer.

If not for that one extra meaningless win...

Personally, I worried that at his size, he was going to wash out in the pros. How special he was to be so dominant for so long!

He is a prima facie case for trading up to get the guy you believe in, instead of letting your guy fall to your spot.

The nerd GM played the odds and got burnt. Rams had what was viewed as good DTs at the time and he called their bluff, turns out they had a royal flush.

I was thinking that same thing when I read some of these guys. I truly couldn't care less what these dudes did in pop warner.

I’m still holding out hope the Giants trade us pick 3 and we get Carter. I’m fine giving them next years 1st to do this. The question is what else would be needed?

Joe Schoen is GM'ing for his life, and Daboll is coaching for his life. I don't think you see them trading away, unless they really think Jaxson Dart or Shedeur Sanders can be something. I'm more interested in Pittsburgh trading up for either of the QBs.

There’s a lot of room for Mason Graham to be inferior to Aaron Donald but still an extremely good football player.

It would be extremely Bears to trade up like that for a pre-injured player.

He is but they really don’t need a 3rd edge rusher with all of their problems. If they trade down they can get a QB for a better price and then sell his development plus the extra capital to ownership. Then they pray DangerRuss gets them 9 wins. No option is great for the Giants but this is what I would do if I was them.

Exactly, it’s tradition so it could happen!

Pick # 3 (2200 points).

for

Pick #10 (1300 points)
Pick #39 (510 points)
Pick #41 (490 points)


It works on the trade chart.


(This is not me endorsing or proposing this trade)

NFL mock draft: How league insiders expect top 10 picks to unfold: Will Jags take Jeanty?

The first four picks of the NFL Draft feel somewhat predictable. Where things will get interesting is at No. 5 with the Jaguars.

www.nytimes.com

The Giants have to determine soon whether they’ll exercise his fifth-year option. One executive estimated the Giants could move Thibodeaux for a third-round pick if he’s not in their long-term plans.

Why do people keep saying this? Who is Pittsburgh trading up to get ahead of? Don’t think they even have a 2nd pick too

If this is real, seems like a no-brainer.

Poles will draft a bum with that 3rd rounder anyways.
