What does your draft board look like after FA?

I think your concerns are 100% valid. I don’t think I’d draft him at 10 but I see him as a mix between Monty and Gibbs. If we get him it’ll most likely because BJ got a hard on for him. His vision and contact balance are elite imo.

If he was in the mid 20's id be down 100%, but 10 is hella rich.

He'd have the second highest guaranteed money at the RB position in the NFL without taking a snap.

Jeanty is looking way more likely. I’ve been against it all offseason even as a huge BSU guy. If Gibbs and Monty had a kid it would be Jeanty
Most mocks I've seen have Jeanty gone before #10. Usually to the Raiders.

I am going to pull a @Midway Fields and put my money on this guy being the pick at #10.
I'm in. I see DE as a big need for us still. I hope one of our first two picks are used on one. It'll have to be #10 to get Mykel. Let the rookie and Odeyingbo fight for the starting job and if neither takes it in TC or Preseason then split their snaps.

Good possibility. I’m just saying that if he is there I think the odds have gone up that Poles would take him
I'm probably in the monority, but I think a very good running back would have the most impact now-- with the O line additions, not only to the running game, but by forcing the defense to play the run and make play action passes believable.

I don’t disagree but I also think there will be good RB options in the 2nd round. I prefer a DL at 10 but I wouldn’t be mad being able to root for Jeanty on Sundays

Come on X man, you know you can’t have enough pass rushers. If an edge prospect lines up with their board at 10, they should draft him.
I know... but it's a luxury now. I want a new LT most, or an offensive weapon to replace K. Allen. Plus the safety and linebacker position are really in need of younger upgrades.

I never seen Jeanty play, just now watched a highlight reel. He is lightning fast but in those highlights he has gaping wide holes to run through. The thing that strikes me is how tiny the guy is, is this what we really want or need? I need some convincing they should use the 10th pick in the draft on someone so small.

5'8 211 lbs. He will not be running over and through nfl players just because he does it to Fresno state.

They still need to continue to invest into the offensive line. Jackson has had injury issues and there is an out after this year if he doesn’t play well. Thuney is 32 so he’s realistically only a 1-2 year stopgap. There is certainly a scenario where they are having to replace both guards again next year. They need young developmental options behind them, not guys with shoulder issues like Bates

Hopefully kills any chance of Stewart or Scourton at 10.

Have you watched Stewart? If all you do is look at the stats I get the skepticism but if you actually watch the guy it’s pretty impressive

I guess that's the plan, with the draft.
