Who Should Gutey Draft At #29?

[RashanGary]

And then when next year comes, I'd trade back a bunch. So maybe trade a 2nd this year for a 2nd next year, then trade back for a bunch of 3rds and 4ths next year. Next years picks are gold, even in rounds 3-4. This years are garbage.

Next year

2nd
3rd
3rd
3rd
4th
4th
4th

would be like having a 1 and three 2's and 3, threes.

I thought this was supposed to be a pretty deep draft, particularly for corners, offensive linemen, and receivers.

I think the first 3 rounds are pretty good. After that though, the depth might be less than normal.

Ah, I see. So the fantasy of trading back and getting another third is a good one.

On an unrelated note, where is Asante Samuel mocked, in the draft sense? I mean, maybe he gets mocked on social media, or maybe his friends mock him in fun, but where does the world think he'll be drafted?

Late 1st, early 2nd. I'm convinced he'll be a good player, safe pick. He may be one of the few that has slot CB size but can play outside (like Jaire), but that's not a given. If he can't play outside, I'm not sure he should be taken over guys like Newsome, Stokes, Campbell, and Joseph. That's the dilemma. I'd probably still take him over all of those guys--except Newsome. However, it's close.

It’s ok at the top, Gute said it was shallow because seniors got a 5th year of eligibility due to Covid.

I’ve since read that next years crop is extremely deep already because of all the extra seniors. I would start planning for extra picks next year.

As I've said, despite my confident proclamations, I know just enough to be dangerous, so I would take your assessment as of more value than my own. I would imagine, just based on size and athleticism, you'd take Newsome and a couple of the others over Samuel. I picture Samuel as an excellent slot corner, but if you drafted a safety and moved Savage down, you could focus on an outside corner later, if there are any prospects out there that fit that bill. Like, a little better than the Kadar Hollomans of the world.

They can draft someone later (i.e., R3 or 4) and develop them to replace King next year. Or after 8 games when he's hurt.

[Bretsky]

I really like Elijah Moore and would be fine with him in round 1

[Bretsky]

Main JS guy predicated the ND offensive tackle. If Bateman/Newsome/etc are gone big fan of trading down

[Fritz]

I'm reading that guy isn't going until the end of the second. Pack picks him there I'm fine.

Might just end up with multiple first round picks tonight
