Day 2 Dreaming

[StickierBuns]

I don't really see a reason to continue the raid on our future picks.  This is an average draft, and we can fill a lot of our remaining needs with the three picks we have left, FA, and then Rookie FA.      Nobody out there really makes me want to lose a 2nd rounder next year at this point.

That's how I feel. Just stick and pick the rest of this Draft and hit the UDFA market hard. Next year we'll be glad we have all of those picks.

Yeah, we can't trade any 2026 comp picks since those haven't been set yet.  But we can trade 97 (comp pick from Cousins last year)...  If he believes we're getting a 3rd, 4th, and another Day 3 comp pick next year...  We might be more likely to trade a 2026 pick knowing we have 2-3 comp picks coming to offset trading them.

Still plenty of talented players at positions of need available.  Hopefully Kwesi gets a little kwazy if one of these guys slips into striking distance.

Correct. But you can move the non comp picks in the same rounds.

Hard to make a wishlist with 64 picks to go, but the DLs and the RBs should still have great value at 97 and beyond.

Jaylin Noel would be a miracle pick for me. Probably has no business falling that far though.

Who would be the running backs he would be targeting?

I think Henderson is going to be a stud and is a perfect Aaron Jones replacement. Especially with Jordan Mason on the roster. He's a guy worth moving up for...

Take your pick. There's about a dozen. Henderson's the guy most people like around here. But it's hard to see him on the board much longer.

ITs not a hair on fire need, but Tre Henderson would be that guy for me...I suspect he wont be on the board much longer though. I was happy Jeanty went well b4 10, I would hate to see Tre in the windy city too lol '

It's also a deep draft.  
I really like the idea and methodology Kwesi has taken to clean up the Cousins (and others) financial mess, restructure and find solid FA additions (more predictable than draft picks), add some UDFA's (Ivan Pace Jr?) and then take a more solid approach to the draft. 
He has admitted he swung too hard in his first draft.  I think this one is a reset.
This year is a capstone to the last 2-3 years.  Cap space is under control, hard to find any weaknesses on offense, and we have just a couple "would be nice to have" additions on defense, namely S and DL.  I don't expect to see any starters coming on Day 2 or 3 of the draft.
