1st 2023 NFL Draft Thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

23: R1 P23 - G Peter Skoronski - Northwestern
54: R2 P23 - TE Cameron Latu - Alabama
98: R3 P35 - C Ricky Stromberg - Arkansas
125: R4 P23 - LB Payton Wilson - NC State
158: R5 P23 - CB Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson - TCU
198: R6 P23 - OT Ryan Hayes - Michigan
238: R7 P23 - OT Christian Jones - Texas
249: R7 P34 - QB Nolan Henderson - Delaware

Would need to bring in a veteran tackle or 2 in this instance.

From what I read it doesn't sound like Skoronski will last that long. But ...

A. What is the solution at QB, that dictates all other moves
B. Is Cosmi now a G or still RT?

Yeah, I don't think so either. But you can only use who is/isn't available when doing a mock.

A. I like Howell more than most. I think he can be our starter next year. But still want a developmental guy to be drafted.

B. Good question. I think that is based on who else we add after the season. The good thing is he has some flexibility. My preference would be for him to play RT, because he is athletic for an OL. But I'm fine w/ G too.

I wasn't in the play Howell camp before this week but am coming around to the idea.

I think he deserves a chance.

That being said, I won't be upset if they were to get a Carr or Goff, etc., if the price was right, or if they drafted a guy higher.

We all complain about not having a QB, so we can't complain about taking our swings. You gotta keep trying until you get your guy. Rivera set Wentz up for failure here. He needs a top-level OL to remotely have a chance to be successful, he gave him a bottom 5 pass-blocking OL. He never had a chance w/ this years line. But even considering that, he just doesn't look like he has enough good in the tank to try again next year.

My personal preference is to let Howell start, but I'm not opposed to other solutions either.

Guys havent played their hearts out, through pain all year ... to have a rookie come in and "see what hes got" in the crucial final 2 games to make the playoffs.

We are the 7th seed and in the playoffs right now.

Lets keep in medium, make the playoffs, take our first round exit and call this season a success all things considered.

23: R1 P23 - CB Joey Porter Jr. - Penn State
54: R2 P23 - OT Darnell Wright - Tennessee
98: R3 P35 - QB Aidan O'Connell - Purdue
125: R4 P23 - LB Nick Herbig - Wisconsin
158: R5 P23 - TE Sam LaPorta - Iowa
198: R6 P23 - G Jaylon Thomas - SMU
238: R7 P23 - C Alex Forsyth - Oregon
249: R7 P34 - OT Ryan Hayes - Michigan

[That Guy]

OT early, G/Cs late. QB and OL both need to be addressed if we want to see any real improvement (and yes, sam howell should have a shot, but drafting a QB in the 5th and making any assumption about him being the answer with no real game film is a bad bet, so I don't think his place on the roster should in any way stop the team from pursuing all possible options at QB)

We are fine at TE with Bates, Armani Rogers and Cole Turner. Cut Thomas and use that money to sign our FA’s. Need OL, MLB and CB the order on whatever the best talent is available.

Don't forget QB. We need a QB.

Not forgetting, Howell is our future QB, just needs a chance to prove it, if only Rivera had the balls to make the move. Putting Wentz back in is going backwards, how many times do they want to see him get sacked?

QB, QB, QB.
Draft the best prospects available at the QB position.

Any draft board that doesn't have us taking a QB in the first round is bullshit.

I don't understand why teams don't take a QB every other yr until they find their guy...

It's Literally the MOST IMPORTANT position
