Last years was the week after the draft, so it should be any day now.

Guessing draft picks only based on currently available numbers:

Fuaga - 75
Kool-Aid - 5
Rattler - 16
Bub - 18
Ford - 42
Boyd - 97
Ezirim - 72

(Edit) for context here are numbers taken by recent free agent signings, as of now: 2 (Mond) 6 (Gay) 10 (Peterman) 11 (Wilson) 13 (St. Brown) 14 (Morgan) 15 (Hedley, from 39) 26 (Robinson) 27 (Jean-Charles) 39 (Smyth) 47 (Hudson) 73 (Udoh)

I’m hoping Kool-Aid goes with 34 (Mike McKenzie vibes), and Rattler gets 5.

This would be cool but I’ve noticed a lot of this generation of DBs seem to do everything they can to get in a number below 30

You’ll find exceptions and guys will always have personal stories (different sport, but Kevin Durant wears 35 to honor the age a favorite coach of his died) but half the 30s and 40s digits are available to linebackers for a reason

Agreed…they all want single digits these days. Or if they can’t get it initially, as soon as one becomes available, they change to it.

I hate it!

I like the thought of Rattler wearing 5 --- Mond 2, Haener 3, Carr 4 and Rattler 5 with Kool-Aid wearing 34 as the aforementioned McKenzie reference as well as the amount of 34 jerseys already out there

Rattler wore #2 in high school. I could see him pulling the ol’ switcheroo in the preseason once Mond inevitably gets cut.

And ruin Heath Shuler's legacy?

Chase Young to 99, which means Khalen Saunders to...50.

UGLY.

I would be an absolute control freak when it comes to numbers if I was an NFL HC or GM, because ain't no way.
