@AdamBattocchi I also should mention no team has traded up for a RB in the 1st since 2015, so…

[Chad Reuter @chad_reuter]

@AdamBattocchi Between ARI, TEN and NYG, I’m not sure there’s better than a 25% chance Love is there at 7. The most likely trade partner would be KC, who would have to give up a 2027 2nd or this year’s 3rd. If they (or someone else) offers a future 2nd, I’d jump on that. If not, keep him!

[Chad Reuter @chad_reuter]

I saw my man @JasonLaCanfora got a quote from an NFL exec about Rueben Bain's wingspan differential (wingspan-height). I looked at 1st round edge rushers since 2015 and Bain tied for 41st out of 53 (Abdul Carter didn't measure at Indy) in that metric. Guys ranked below him include Aidan Hutchinson, Nick Bosa, TJ Watt and Bradley Chubb -- though they are all 1.5"-plus taller than Bain.

The only guys with shorter wingspans than Bain's 77 1/2" in that group of 53 are Derek Barnett and Chop Robinson.

Bain's going to be a very good NFL player regardless of these numbers...but I was just curious how his wingspan differential compared with past 1st rounders.

@denver0321 That's possible...but they could still use depth at LB, TE, OT, DL for the future. Teams who think they're "set" at certain roster spots get in trouble when injuries hit. We'll see what path they choose...

[Chad Reuter @chad_reuter]

Planned on having DEN give up a 4th and 5th to move up for a WR for my mock Friday. Now they get a veteran for 1st, 3rd and 4th instead of a rookie for 1st, 4th, 5th. They'll look to trade back in late 2nd to recoup picks - they did so twice last year.
