Working .. and I have to assume

That teams are going to try to jump us for the QBs.

I cannot believe they didn't go in the first.

So we have 4 that may try to trade up, maybe even "with" us to get ahead of the Raiders...

Raiders
Saints
Titans
Vikings

I think the Commanders roll with Howell. It's pretty likely that the Saints like Carr and will try to make a run with him and just load up on talent.

Here are my best players

7. TENN Hendon Hooker 6-4 218 Sr.

9. PSU 9 tfDB Joey Porter Jr. 6-2 193 Fr
So.
198 Jr.

11. ND 87 tfTE Michael Mayer 6-4 249 FR
So, INJ?
Jrf.

12. UK Will Levis (*PSU trans) 6-3 232 Sr.

17. ALA 14 S Brian Branch So. 6-0 193
Jr.

19. UCLA 24 RB Charbonnet 6-1 220 Sr. (Mich trans)

23. GTech 6 DE Keion White 6-5 286 Sr.

26. TENN 11 WR Jalen Hyatt 6-0 175 So.
180 Jr.

27. IOWA 84 TE Sam Laporta 6-4 249 So. ++
Jr.
Sr.

34. UF 54 ORG O Cyrus Torrance 6-5 347 Jr.(yep, trans)

35. SC 9 CB Cam Smith 6-1 187 rsSo. opt out
Jr.

The prize for us is either Porter or Branch on defense or Hyatt and Mayer on offense. Normally I'd say these guys would basically be the next 4 picks before us, but teams are likely looking to jump us and the Raiders for their QBOTFuture.
I didn't see Branch or Porter making it this far. So I'd be happy with either of them as the pick. I would consider Cam Smith as well ... but he likely wouldn't trump a trade down if we got offered. I know we want offense, so I'd be happy with Mayer or Hyatt as well. I don't see us passing on those guys. Also agree that Indy would likely go Branch and Detroit would go Mayer.

If it's not them? Trade down and there's still a TON of talent.

My bet would be our best trade down would be with the Vikings if they want a QB. For that distance I'd expect a 3rd or 3rd and 5th.

If we really like Levis or Hooker and take them? I'll be a tad bummed but I get it.

These are the best players we've had a shot at in a really long time.
