Starting this thread up since the draft is coming up in a couple days.
Anyone care to take a stab at the top 5 picks?
1) Trevor Lawrence (Jags)
2) Zack Wilson (Jets)
3) Mack Jones (Niners)
4) Kyle Pitts (ATL)
5) Ja'Marr Chase (Bengals because the dumbasses don't realize they need to protect Burrow and it should be Penei Sewell)
If Sewell is available at 5 and the Bengals don't take him...

Sewell could be Munoz 2.0. Plug & play LT that we could be asking about whether he belongs in Canton in 10-12 years.
For me, I'm fine with who the Browns take as long as it's not Jayson Oweh (DE-Penn St), Joe Tryon (DE/LB-Washington) or Christian Barmore (DT-Alabama). I've seen those three mocked to the Browns and would truly be my "flip out" moment if they grabbed one of them. In fact, even if they took a WR at 26 I'd be fine with it because there's no guarantee OBJ, Landry and Higgins will be Browns in 2022.
I wouldn’t QQ with Sewell or Chase.

I would be fine with Chase at 5 if they get Leatherwood in the 2nd round.
I would prefer Sewell
I'll give you top 6, because... obviously.
1. Trevor Lawrence - Duuuuuval
2. Zach Wilson - J E T S
3. Mac Jones - Santa Clara
4. Kyle Pitts - Magic City
5. Jamar Chase - Bungals
6. Penei Sewel - Dolphins

Drafting Chase over Sewell would be so Bengals.
Hoodie trying to trade up to #4 with the Falcons, presumably to draft Justin Fields.

Who knows. The rationale I’ve heard is there’s a ton of offensive line talent. But there’s a huge drop off at WR past the first few guys.

I have no issue with it. Bengals & Steelers both need OL help, badly, and I'm hearing one will draft a WR and the other probably drafts a RB. Not bothering me they might neglect addressing OL early.
Today is the day! Today is the fist day of my Jags ascent to greatness.

That was before my time as a Jags fan. I spent most of my life a Chargers fan, until greedy ownership turned their back on the city.

Yeah, screw the Chargers ownership.
Niners supposedly offered the #3 pick, multiple other picks and players including Jimmy G to the Packers for Aaron Rodgers. The Packers declined.

Damn. I'd have taken that deal in a heartbeat.

Agreed. One of my co-workers, whose NFC team is the Packers said "no way you do that deal." I just smh. Guy seems to think Rodgers will have Brady-like longevity.
Weren't there tensions between Rodgers and the team recently anyway?

Yeah, he wasn't pleased with them using a first or second round pick last year or so on a QB, as opposed to getting him a weapon for a championship push. And it hasn't been super-tough to catch hints he's had issues with some of the team's play-calling at times over the past few years.
