    I like the pick of Denzel Mims in the 1st round for the Packers.

    But a NT run stopper is likely needed as a high priority as well.

    @TorturedBlazerFan , what do you think Packer brother?

    There’s really not a lot of NTs worth taking early in the draft, it’s more 3T heavy.

    Yeah. It is more likely to see the Packers select WR and OL in the first two rounds. Maybe ILB. I guess TE if they believe the right one is available by the 2nd round.

    Gotta think about it. They certainly need a lot of help stopping the run though.

    At this point of FA, trade(s) might be a more likely solution for NT.

    Yeah, I kinda prefer they just draft someone.

    Personally I think Joe Burrow is going to be a bust.

    Getting good NTs is hard. I’m shocked more teams don’t take lesser known big body OT’s and coach them up

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Run-stuffing interior linemen aren't worth high picks. If you're taking a defensive tackle early, he needs to be someone who can generate a lot of interior pass rush in addition to stopping the run, IMO. You can get big bodied space-eaters in the middle and late rounds.

    As a dolphins fan I hope Tua lasts until 5 or just move up with the stockpile to 3 to get him

    i think the Fo has been planning to draft for him 2 years now..don’t let it slip away

    Tua is special. I go back and forth as to the superior prospect between Burrow and Tagovailoa. Burrow had that one season that was beyond remarkable, but Tagovailoa has been incredible for several years. If I had to take one, I'd probably take Burrow just because he isn't coming off an injury, but I think Tua is going to be a superstar.

    I can see the Lions trading down to the Dolphins or Chargers for more draft capital.

    thats for burrow tho and this is only moving up 2 spots...it shouldn’t take two first rounders and seconds...

    I used to play an nfl gm game on a dolphin forum that was much like the one we did last offseason for the nba.


    We would use a trade value chart like this https://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/draft_trade_value.htm

    which I feel like is pretty accurate. The difference in #3 and #5 is 500 points which is an early seconder and the dolphins have #39 valued at 510

    of course the lions have a negotiating advantage.

    Id give them #5, #39 and 2nd next year. Or #5 and #26 and call it a day

    I like the value chart concept ever since Jimmy Johnson used it. I guess it depends on the value the two teams think it's worth for the player to be picked.

    Some teams are more desperate than others. Some teams will massively overpay. That's happened in previous drafts.
