So I didn't mention it during our mock. But personally I'm lower on Paris Johnson, Broderick Jones, and Darnell Wright than most. Paris is the safest one of them all. But again, top 10?? I'm not quite there. I also feel the same way about Van Ness and Joey Porter. Lots of BIG names I hopped into the tape and went "Is that it?" Obviously to list that many, at least one of them will make me look stupid. But that's how I feel about the group.
I wondered if Atlanta being #8 had something to do with Arizona trading back up to 6. Ian Rapaport just said basically yes - Paris Johnson was their target even at #3. If he didn't go at 7 he would have gone at 8, so they had to move back up to get ahead of Raiders and Falcons.
Well what don't the Cardinals need? They have a QB, and probably Linebackers, and one safety. Anything else was on the table
There is Tyree. Atlanta is next. This is where rumours are the Eagles trade up if Carter is available.
Rich Eisen teaser into the commercials asked if the Bijan Robinson era is about to begin in Atlanta. I sure hope not. Solid RB but not what Atlanta needs and not so great a value at #8.
Falcons already have Tyler Allgeier and Cordarrelle Patterson and a young tank in Caleb Huntley, plus a speedster in Avery Williams. Not sure what more anyone thinks the team will be able to do with Bijan Robinson that they aren't already doing.
