2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

My assessment for what it is worth.

Ranking the Skins top needs.
#1 Obviously QB as the QBs we currently have are major downgrades from a below average QB situation last year. Chance it will be addressed with first pick higher than 99%.
#2 LOT No one on roster is the probable starter and only the back-up depth has been addressed in FA (Lucus) Prediction Round 1 pick (Trade up) or first of the picks in 2d round.
#3 CB. A major need that got worse in free agency. Doubt coaching staff considers Davis or Forbes as a viable starters, but may have to make do. Prediction 3rd round.
#4 DE. Position addressed with back-up talent in FA, but may risk Ferrel as starter. Due to deep draft at position good chance this need is addressed prior to CB. Chance of trade up to 1st round. Prediction 2d round.
#5 ROT weak starter. Prediction 5th round or lower.
#6 TE who is the starter? Prediction 3rd rd.
#7 WR lost Samuels, 3rd round.

Good list. I'm REALLY concerned about Left Tackle and Corner.

Yes, we need a QB, but the team is addressing that with the #2 pick. Lucas is fine, and I believe he outplayed Leno last season, but basically we are at the mercy of whether a good tackle is available at 36 or 40. I honestly would not be against moving back to the first round to get a tackle.

I think for corner, there are still some free agents out there. And you can count on DQ and Joe Whitt to work their magic with Forbes and BSJ (although with BSJ it'd be a miracle if they can get anything out of him).
