Nightshade, thanks for posting this.

The combine and the private workouts will change the rankings. As a result, some will surely climb. At the moment, I am not sure any quarterback, much less both Ward and Sanders, will be a top eight pick. There are three or four really outstanding players in the first tier. Travis Hunter and Abdul Carter certainly, Will Johnson probably, and Mason Graham perhaps will be top eight picks. This may be the year we finally trade down, especially if there is a team that really like a quarterback who is still on the board.

Bucky echoed what I said about the WR position. There are not any super stud guys, outside of maybe Tex. Just a bunch of system guys, who can be productive, but nothing spectacular

TMac was clumped in w/ that group as not the superstar type.

I'm never in favor of taking interior linemen in the first, but if Tyler Booker is there when we pick in the 2nd I could get on board with that pick. He'd fill a need, and he has the best name in the draft!

Thanks for posting.

When I first saw this I thought Bucky was trying to say there is a huge gap between Jeanty and everyone else with the big letters and the red arrow, but in the end it was just an ad.

Yes, I guess he had to, but I assume he means overall as a group. Typically every year or so, I like a good amount of prospects, but this one, is kinda just meh to me. Don’t get me wrong, with a great scheme, some of these top guys can be players, but nothing that jumps off the charts like most years. Thats why I’ve been clamoring for Warren and Mason Taylor. Give me the 2 TE set for years to come

Booker

Mm hmm

I could see Tennessee going Carter at #1 or even trade down

Yep, I've read some articles where they question his ability to get open with man/press coverage. This would be the same issue Odunze is having.

BPA, we should be getting the number one player at his position that’s available! If is WR, RB, DB, or whatever just make sure we are getting the best and not second best!

Odunze was open quite a bit this year. Caleb was the main culprit for that. However, I do believe that they will be a decent/good tandem in the future.

Bucky puts in the work and does all his own analysis. Always appreciate his insights.

I remember the year Justin Jefferson came out, he had him at #4 or #5 on his WR list. I was in disbelief how he could have him outside the top 2. Never paid attention to his list since.

Well, for what it’s worth, Jefferson was the 5th WR taken in that draft, so looks like the jokes on you brother.

Obviously the field results were different, but his draft ranking analysis appears to have been almost spot-on with what the actual teams were thinking.

Bucky is a former NFL scout and is worth listening to.
