I don’t think that there’s any way Noel and Higgins make it out of R2. Porter maybe R3, but more likely R2. I think there’s a chance Noel could sneak into the end of R1, but it’s not very likely.

Timestamp is 13:55 in the video where PTI talks about Noel.
Ben Johnson likes to run a lot of 2 Tight End sets so wouldn't surprise me if they pick one. Loveland is probably a better compliment to Kmet. Warren & Kmet kind of have similar skill sets where as Loveland is a bit more dynamic/better route runner.
The development of these young men under Coach Matt Campbell and his staff is amazing. The coaching staff seems to have the ability to get the players to believe in their ability to execute based on their position. Thank you coach Campbell and Staff for molding these young men into a productive life moving forward.

Why would Jacksonville grab a RB at 5? When was the last RB that went that high? I guess probably Saquon.

I sent the PTI clip to a couple of Hawkeye friends.
Told them there is a Xavier Nwankpa highlight

With the lack of QB talent in this draft, I don't think we will see many trades or moves that makes people say "WOW". Like last year it was the Falcons selecting Penix.
It will still be fun to watch the draft, and I hope the cyclones are well represented. But the excitement level from a casual NFL fan standpoint just seems to be lacking this year

I've seen a lot of analysts that think teams should trade down. The problem is that they have to find a team willing to trade up. I don't think we will see a lot of trades, especially early in the first round. If there are trades, it will be in the back part of the first round with teams trying to trade back into the first.
Also lots of Jayden Higgins / Nico Collins comparisons
Noel putting up 23 reps at 225lbs while weighing 194lbs is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen at the combine. DK Metcalf blew up social media by doing 27 reps at 228lbs.
23 was 4 more than the 2nd best wide receiver.
23 tied the most for running backs
26 was the most for linebackers
21 was the most for defensive backs
He out benched some of the DT, DE, TE and OL at the combine
Guys Noels size don't do that. His combination of speed, agility and strength in the slot could be insane. Percy Harvin like.
Shedeur Sanders dropping out of the 1st round would be something.
Hopefully Noel can stay healthier than Harvin.
I just haven't heard Jeanty talked about the same way Barkley was. Barkley was a once in decade type of prospect. Their measurables aren't even comparable. Barkley was 22lbs heavier coming out of college and 3-1/2" taller. An absolute freak athlete. Jeanty isn't really talked about that way.
I've been amazed at how many analysts have been pushing the Browns or Giants to take Sanders just because they need a quarterback. If you don't think the quarterback is going to be "the guy", don't take him and pick up a veteran guy instead. Too many of these draft guys focus on team needs instead of best available.
Why would any team draft a RB in the first round? The running backs they have going in the first round this year in mock drafts, would normally be mid rounders. I don’t get it.
I think there is a swing back to more run focused offense occuring in the NFL. So many teams have shifted to the 2 high shell defense, nickel/dime bases, and light boxes that the appeal of a dominant RB has bucked the value trend of the last decade.
