I'm inclined to say C also because it's the least important position and I don't see the ROI.
I could make a great argument that Center is the most important OL position, for a variety of reasons. It's a position that should definitely be on the table at the end of R1.
Finding a guy that can play that position mentally and physically at a high level is not easy.
It's other people scoffing at the idea of drafting a tackle, which is ignorant
I think some were asking if it would happen GIVEN THE DRAFT CAPITAL and team needs. . and others were making the same point
So, if we're going to trade away premium draft capital to move up for a more dominant player . ..
A point that you now seem to ignore (the root of "ignorant") . . over and over . .
"slip sliding away . . . slip sliding away . .ay . .you know the more he posts . . the more JC is slip sliding away"

You lumped me in directly, even though I said I was a fan of drafting Fautanu. So, again, you're wrong (I see a pattern here).
I've named two specific OTs in the last week because they've been falling in recent mocks.
Only person I've seen you specifically mention is Fashanu. My apologies if I missed the other.
I could say iDL because we've poured so much draft capital into the last 2 years.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.
So, you're saying that if someone like Murphy fell (or was within striking range), you wouldn't be inclined to draft him because of how much we've invested in the position?
So, what you're saying is "you'd have the Bucs passing on dominant players".
Weird...

There aren’t very many that are really good, and the guy that’s been the best for the last decade just retired.
I’ll repeat, finding a guy that can play that position mentally and physically at a high level is not easy. It’s one of the reasons Barton is flying up many draft boards.
Now . ..
[Center] a position that should definitely be on the table at the end of R1.
then . . .
seems we need O-line . .. except for Wirfs
Completely clueless and on-brand.
lol
The men are talking. You can return to asking questions that Google can easily answer for most women and children.

POW!
Schatz’s formula has Alabama edge rusher Dallas Turner having the biggest impact with 26.3 sacks in his first five years (remember, rarely do edge rushers rack up many sacks as rookies). Schatz also has Florida State beast Jared Verse (24.4) projected to have more sacks in his first five seasons than UCLA sackmeister Laiatu Latu (23.4)
After Penn State’s Chop Robinson at No. 4 (21.2) there is a big drop off on Schatz’s list to No. 5 with Western Michigan’s Marshawn Kneeland (15.7).
a trade down mock
32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (From KC): Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State
Trade: The Kansas City Chiefs receive the 26th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft; the Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive the 32nd and 64th picks.
Cornerback is a significant need since Carlton Davis III is gone, but finding pass-rush help is another must for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he had mixed college results, Chop Robinson and his twitchy 4.48-second speed can help offset another offseason loss following Shaq Barrett’s departure.

Wouldn’t hate this at all.
Means we’d have a pair of 2nd rounders and a pair of 3rd rounders.
Five picks in the Top-100.

What are his numbers on past draft prospects?
@donkey_hunter would absolutely go for this. Should be able to find 2 starters at significant areas of need as well as having the luxury of one of these 5 being a bpa with plans to redshirt this year. And chop would be an immediate starter in my opinion just because if the juice he would bring.
