I’ll take a stab at a few of those questions Wunkle.

1. Darnold will be the #1 pick. It’s a lock. The pundits are only saying it’s a mystery because they want to dial up the intrigue of the draft. The real intrigue is what will happen at 4th overall. I’m betting the Jets and Broncos will be interested in moving up once Cousins signs with the Vikings.

2. I would say the NFL.com ratings are NOT accurate. The best player in this draft is Quentin Nelson. Next come Barkley, Fitzpatrick, and Chubb (not necessarily in that order).

3. The only vet free agent LT worth looking at is Nate Solder (Pats). The Pats would franchise him, but he has specific language in his contract saying he can’t be franchised. Nelson would be wasted at left tackle, not an option. Also I’ve heard that there might not be a player in this draft who would be a good NFL left tackle. If JT retires then we go hard after Solder. If we don’t get him then we’re screwed.

That said, Ice . . . Do you think Quenton Nelson has what it takes to play left tackle?

Am I going mad, or did the word THINK escape your lips? You were not hired for your brains, you hippopotamic landmass!
