Henderson is my go to at RB but we're in a weird spot where #29 would be too early but he won't be available by the time our 2nd round pick comes up.

I wouldn't mind Hampton at 29 either. Different kind of back but would be a big time upgrade.

Oof, this OT class has some really short arms. All of the inconsistency that the OT's had worries about is starting to make a lot of sense.

I wonder if we roll the dice on a OT in the 2nd/3rd instead of the 1st given lack of top end measurements.

Brandon Coleman would go in the 1st in this draft...

I could totally see them take an edge, a OT/OG and a DT or RB with the first 3 picks.

Get a T that can either start at RT to see if they can stay out there or start them at G with hopes of him moving outside later or next year

At least one of those picks will be involved in a trade back to gain more picks

With Quinn's recent comments about wanting players on offense who make violent cuts and make plays in space, etc.

Skattebo remains interesting to me on that front. Imagine having to tackle Deebo AND Skattebo over the course of a game.

Exhausted defenses combined with maybe the most clutch QB in the game is clearly a good combination.

There are a lot of RBs I love in this class. Post combine its doubled up my love for Harvey and Giddensand Tuten among that third tier group of RBs.

But I got a sneaky suspicion that Skattebo is on their radar. If I took a wild guess now as to which RBs end up here if they pick one of the 2nd or third -- Henderson or Skattebo.

Yeah this draft is so stacked at DE-DT and exciting at RB, all arguably needs that I don't know if I'd force an O line pick early. Who knows maybe even CB.

I'd consider though Conerly and D. Jackson at 29 if they fall. But I'd try to trade down multiple times, get another 3rd and maybe land a 4th.

On the O line, I watched and love Ratledge as to adding a guard. And you got some projects like Belton, Brown, Travis, etc, that likely are there in the 3rd that have some promise. Ozzy seems like a solid RT in the third, etc.

Nothing exciting but i think you got some solid options. I am borderline exited about Ratledge.

I don't think Conerly is worth #29. His lack of length comes up. We play the Eagles two-three times a season. They just beat up the Chiefs short armed OT in the super bowl because they place a premium on arm length.

For example, both of the Eagles starting OT's have 35.5" arm length.
