Draft Talk - Cuz it's never too early...

I'm going to be the one person here that's going to take the opinion that I don't want Smith (Imagine that). While I think he's a fantastic talent I look at the division we play in. It's a very hard hitting rough division and I just don't see his small frame standing up long here. Is he a talent sure, great scheme there at Alabama too, but in the AFC north I just see him being injured more then on the field in a length of a season.

If by chance they do sign two or so new starters for the O-line in Free Agency I don't see any way SoP allows Zac to tap Penile even if he falls to us.

No way they spend the #5 pick on what would essentially be a backup to start the season.

The lure of taking Smith as essentially a replacement for AJ will be too great.

Mark my words....

Right you are. Imagine if he runs a 4.29! Def taking him

Very good points.

How do you feel about the WR from LSU then....?

And which WR would that be, Boutte the freshman, or Marshall the JR?

Sorry, Ja'marr Chase.

He opted out this season didn't he? I'd be all for Chase at 5. I like the idea of pairing Burrow back up with a WR he knows, and Chase has a thicker frame which I think would stand up in this division better then Smith would.

B1, here's a pretty good breakdown of Chase, although the guy is obviously a little biased.

Thank you.

Just for the record I'm not advocating for Chase. Meat was talking about WRs in the draft and I was just curious on his take on him.

Penile Swallow would be my first choice if he's there but if he's not, and there's a good chance he won't be, we need to think about our options.
