Draft Austin at 15, plain and simple


I've been saying for a while that our fate should be tied almost exclusively to Austin if he is available when we draft.

1. If he's there and he's the top guy on their board, you sprint to the podium, draft him, and never look back.

2. If he's there and he's not the top guy on the board, you entertain all draft options. If you get an offer you feel allows you to move back and still get an impact player you take it. If not, you draft whoever is the top guy on your board at that position.

I don't think he fits our need at WR. While he may be good, I believe we are more in need of an all purpose WR (aka a true #1) than a specialized playmaker. I prefer Keenen Allen. I'd be ok with either pick though

I understand your point but the BPA approach only works if there is a significant difference in value. If Jones, Mingo or Annsah are there, there won't be a difference in value and defense is certainly a priority.

Not saying the team definitely won't pick Austin (see Meachem as proof that Payton isn't shy)...just saying they shouldn't
