Darnell Washington
Kenny McIntosh
Warren McClendon Jr.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Well, one of my hot takes is already wrong:

Jets finalizing Rodgers trade with GB.

Jets get: Rodgers, #15, #170.
Packers get: #13, #42, #207, a conditional 2024 2nd that turns into a 1st if Ridgers plays 65% if the snaps

Yep, those are 2 of the 3 I think are most likely. If you watched the Georgia Pro day Bengals secondary coach, Robert Livingston, was running the DB drills. So would not be too suprised to see some combination of Safety Chris Smith and CB Kelee Ringo.

Would love to have all 3 of those Bulldogs...

Jets and Eagles fans will mostly cheer their draftees.

Nailed it....

The record is broken for the most CB’s taken in the first two rounds.

One for one!

Njigba Mayer Kincaid all still available...

If Mayer passes Dallas, he goes to KC.

Only one TE goes in 1.

We go D in at least 2 of the first 3 rounds.

We cave and trade away JW to ensure we get some value from that roster slot this year, even if we don't get Wright or D. Jones.

Finally, we get a Volson type to start at RT or at least compete with JC for it (Colby Soradal, Nick Salvideri). I would say Wanya Morris but he's not a small school talent.

Starting out 1 for 6.

Starting out 2 for 6 with one miss. Not a bad start to a hot takes post.

1 for 1.  I'll see you guys on the victory lap tour.  Murphy falls within the 1st percentile for a size measurable.  Hint: it's one that may actually give him an advantage.  Double hint: he may be less likely to break a finger because of it.

Impressed by some hot takes here. Really hard to predict. Wonder who's drafted next by the Bengals?

Hot takes for day 2
Jonah Williams package gets traded for an early 2nd rd pick.

By "Bengals" I meant "Eagles".

You even got the pounce part right. The Bengals were on the clock for about a minute.

Has a college QB with a completion percentage < 55% went on to have a successful career in the NFL?

Not really. I found a thread that complied a list of all QB drafted from 1990 to 2018 that looked at sub 60% college completion. No coincidence this was from a Bills forum after they had just drafted Allen and his sub 60% completion rate. (typical copium thread )

Brett Favre 52.4% Southern Miss. 1990
Mark Brunell 52.0% Washington 1993
Drew Bledsoe 54.3% Washington State 1993
Jake Delhomme 52.6% Louisiana 1997
Josh McCown 51.2% SMU 2002
Derek Anderson 50.7% Oregon State 2005

That is a longer list than I expected.
