In this case, I guess they would have like Daniels and Maye...much more than the next tier. Prob would be happy with both.

 

I think LAC is going to draft Nabers, unless ARI does something silly and past on MHJ. I just don't see them moving off that pick. Some have Nabers over MHJ. 

 

Mike Will is gone and Allen is getting near the end of his career. Herbert is the franchise, so he's a young franchise WR. And Nabers is insta-offense. They have a new GM, so he probably doesn't care that they drafted Johnston.

They traded Allen last night to Chicago for a 4th round pick, which only strengthens your point.

"We need to be more explosive" 

 

Ballard quote

 

IMHO that means a field stretching WR

 

We can get that in round 1 or 2

 

I see playmaking FS, Stud DE, dynamic WR s as a MUCH, MUCH, bigger needs than a CB or TE in round 1

 

My hope is that we grab a DE in FA (prolly not gonna happen)

My hope is that we come out of round 1 with Brian Thomas or AD Mitchell

My hope is that we get one of the FS in draft, or in FA

 

I watched both players vs Alabama this year.

 

Brian Thomas had a so so game, he was MOSTLY shutdown by the Alabama DBs

Mitchell was many times uncoverable and made the Alabama CBs that will be first round

CBs look stuck in glue

 

Bowers is great to think about, but it looks like Ogletree will be playing this year, not as good as Bowers, but

there was a chemistry between AR and he, early on

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bowers could also make us more explosive. Not only is he capable of explosive plays himself, but his presence could free up some of our other guys. I’m a Bama fan, so I don’t like Georgia at all. Bowers was the real deal from day 1 as a true freshman, though. When your team played against UGA, he was a guy you definitely kept an eye on.

 

That said, I wouldn’t mind either of the WRs you mentioned. I just wanted to point out that we could still be aiming for more explosion on offense by selecting Bowers.

[The 2024 class of corners]

This is off topic from the thread, but I like Max Melton as a guy that we could take on Day 2 or later. 

[Peytons legacy]

Peyton is the reason I became a Colts fan back in 1999, when I was 9 years old. He’ll always be the GOAT, in my opinion.

In that scenario.  Cardinals would have the number 1 pick.  Which means they would probably take Harrison Jr.  

If the Cards pick #1 next year, I’d have to imagine they’d be wanting a new QB.
