Carnell Tate is going to be the best wr in this class. Just an absolute gamer that is always open and catches everything

Assuming we stay with a top ten pick which looks likely. Lets Go down the list

Offense

QB - Shough looks like the guy
RB - Kamara is showing his age, Neal looks promising. Only one prospect that high but not sure we go there
WR - Olave isn't the guy that's obvious, Vele has looked better in last few games. think this could be a target
OT - Set if Fuaga is your RT going forward, if the intent is to move Fuaga inside big need and a possibility
OG - Big need but reach in the first round.
C - Set with McCoy
TE - Juwan Looks a lot better this year. But may need an upgrade don't think its a top ten option.

Defense

Interior Line - Godchaux is okay but still don't think there is a NT you target in top of draft
DE - Cam has to be replaced eventually. Breese is solid
Edge - Chase has looked awesome but that injury history. Granderson looks to have taken a step back
ILB - Demario can't play forever, Werner is solid but not great.
CB Koolaid and Taylor are just fine. Unless you want to move Taylor back to nickel back
Safety - Set, Sanker looks to be a steal and Reid is solid

I would put it like this depending on who's available when we pick

OT - (If you plan on moving Fuaga) Fano-Utah, Mauigoa-Miami
DE - (Cam eventually needs a replacement) Woods-Clemson
ILB - Arvell Reese
WR - Tyson-Arizona State, Tate-Ohio State Slight reach on both but WR is a premium Position

Maybe

Edge - Bain-Miami, Faulk-Auburn, Bailey-Texas Tech
CB - Delanne-LSU highest ranked but might be a reach in the top ten

Huge Maybe

RB - Only Jeremiyah Love-ND Ranked as a top 5 prospect on every board but premium on RBs is not what it used to be.
TE - Only Sadiq from Oregon but probably a huge reach in top ten

Build the lines. Any NFL quarterback with enough time is going to find someone eventually.

We need a defensive end with the 1st.
Guard with 2nd.

Why is everyone in love with Love?

In the two games against the two good teams he played this year he rushed for 33 yards against Miami and 94 yards against Aggy.


I mean, sure, he ran all over the rest of the schedule, but there are G5 teams who had tougher schedules than he faced.



For context: LSU had 2 running backs with higher ypc than he did against Aggy. And, combined, they had 9.less carries and 1 more yard than he did.

I wish we could stay the course.

Draft Love, Delaine, or Downs this year

Finish with a top 5 pick in 2027 draft and get Jeremiah Smith

I think Shough is good enough to win a playoff game. The NFC is a lot weaker at QB than the AFC.

Exactly

All you have to do is take a look at the Bengals offense

This is simply not true. Brees didn’t have protection for 3-4 seconds. Drew rarely held the ball past 2.5 seconds. I know this because I watched many games with a stopwatch in my hand. The offensive line was good but Drew also did them a big favor by being able to read a defense and decisively get rid of the ball quickly.

I'd target a large possession type receiver that he can trust on 3rd and gotta have it


That describes Vele perfectly. We need an explosive WR that can make things happen after the catch. Olave is a perfect WR2 and Vele the perfect WR3. A true #1 would set this offense up to really blow up.
