Schneider “It’s no secret we’re trying to trade back”
Smokescreen week. Watch him trade up instead

That would be a trip. But I wouldn't put anything past John. He doesn't give a rip what other teams do. While I think it's extremely unlikely that he trades up, it certainly could happen. Stranger things have happened.
I could be wrong, but I have a feeling there will be more trades than usual in the 1st round this year, league wide.

I have a feeling (I'm hoping) that John is targeting the interior O-line, but hasn't said a word about it. I would love to see us find a good one in the draft, and as a fall-back, get Joel Bitonio on June 1st to avoid losing a compensatory pick.

If Olaivavega Ioane slides into the 20’s he would be an automatic upgrade at RG over Bradford and complete our O line for years. You have to consider maybe even trading up

I think the next three guys, Bisontis/Pregnon/Rutledge, would be an auto upgrade over Bradford too.
I concur. I bet Pittsburgh takes Ioane. If Jermod “the real” McCoy slides to 32 I mean hellll yeah!!! Also a firm believer in continuity of adding to the trenches early on. Zion Young will guaranteed be available at 32 because of the DUI. Normally a top 15 pick

And he had a Misdemeanor Assault charge while at Michigan State. But I think was the fight in the tunnel.

Bruce Irvin bitch slapped a guy delivering his sandwich when he was at West Virginia. I think they put mustard whe he strictly asked for no mustard. But then again Pete shared the war room with Schneider at the time so more leeway was given to questionable character

Young is not normally a top-15 pick. If he is for you, cool. But, no draft pundits or media scouts has him as a top-15 prospect.

Zion? Many have him going in the mid to late first even with the dui. Do some research guy. Guaranteed he’ll be on the board by 32. Mel Kiper has him going 17 overall

No need to be disrespectful, just because someone doesn't agree with you.

Everyone knows Zion is being mocked in the back end of the 1st round, so not insightful. It's okay if you got caught up and overstated him being "normally a top-15 pick". Zion wasn't considered a top-15 pick before his DUI. Mel Kiper has Zion ranked #22 on his big board.

That isn’t disrespectful. Grow a pair guy

Draft day everybody! Although I will end up watching the whole 1st round and likely not see the Hawks select due to a trade back, this is still like Christmas for me.

If I was in the draft room, here are the guys again that I am pounding the table for:

Kyle Louis
Keylan Rutledge
Gracen Halton
AJ Haulton
Skyler Bell
Josh Cameron
Emmett Johnson

I hope we can get 2-3 of these guys

Nice list!

Kyle Louis is an interesting prospect. Some like him at LB and others like him at SS. I'm in the SS camp for Louis.

The big nickel is really intriguing to me. On one hand, we have Emmanwori in that role, but there has been chatter that he will gradually he groomed for a move to FS. The Hawks interest (top 30 visits) in Stukes, Haulcy, Kilgore has me thinking that coach mac wants a few more hybrid players for his def. Kyle louis would be a great remedy to the rams attack over the middle that gave us fits last year.

Yeah, this is a really good draft for hybrid secondary prospects. Another few guys I like for that role are TCU (S) Bud Clark, Kansas State (S) VJ Payne, Miami (S) Jakobe Thomas, Oregon (S) Jadon Canady, and etc...

You still couldn't back up your top-15 talk of Zion. So you want to continue with the "guy" passive (bitch) aggressive talk.
He slid a little due to the DUI. Wake up guy!!! It’s draft day! Be happy!!!
