Does that put Mensah in the Vikings sightline? God help us if we draft another 1st round QB...

Chambliss is right in the zip code, I think. His mobility is good, but can he process nfl defenses quickly and operate within the pocket???

Yah, I expect a QB no later then day 2. But Edge or even RB (if one of the top 2 falls) could all be in play.

There should be a couple of draft worthy guys available towards the end of the first. They will be guys you’d want to give a year to acclimate. In an ideal world, Cousins plays well and we can keep him here to help a new kid like he just did in Vegas. He really is a perfect veteran for that role being the consummate professional with a ridiculous work ethic to do the little things right. He’s driven by a desire for excellence and not ego.

You never know how a draft will shake out. Young QB’s can go fast, but we have a fair chance of having guys with the franchise potential work their way down. This is a.class that may not have the immediate starters like others, but there’s more talent than many realize (depending on who comes out of course).

Mensah, Manning, Chambliss jump right out as those type of guys.

Next tier is Dante Moore, Jayden Maiava, Simmons, Eget, Sayin, Sellers

I’m biased because he’s a South Dakota kid, but Lincoln Kienholz looks like an NFL QB and has since high school. However, he got stuck behind Sayin so this year at Louisville is his only experience. He’ll likely stay another year, but if he doesn’t, he’s definitely worth a pick with a 1 to 2 year development timeframe. I’d take him in round 2 or 3 even if he projects 4 to 7. He is immensely talented as a dual threat.

I think Maiava fits the best for what KC wants to do. I think most of the juniors go back. Extend Cousins a year a let Maiava incubate for a year or two. Should be able to get him with Philly’s pick.

Baugh would be the best bet as a marriage of need and BPA. I think he’s playing on a bum shoulder as he’s really cooled off the past few weeks. I definitely like an iDL here too for value.
