All of those interior DL could go in the top 15.

Some scouts I trust (and advise you guys to check out) - Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks from NFL Media - they have 13 DTs in their top 50 players. 13! They've said a ton of times on their podcast (Move the Sticks on itunes or youtube if you care) that any team who needs a DT is good-to-go to get a 1st round talent in the 2nd easily

Loaded DT class, which is why I want to wait on that for the second round or third round.


Impact linebacker in the first then maybe a DE like Leonard Floyd or Shillique Calhoun from Mich State in the second. Then in the third get a guy like Maliek Collins from Nebraska.

I know everyone wants to go D but I wouldn't be upset at all if treadwell were the pick

No we don't. Treadwell would be a great pick. We need WR, DT, DE, OLB and OG. Almost any of the top players at those positions is a good pick.

2. Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss


I'm surprised Mayock has him rated so high. I just don't think he's played that great. Plus you have all the crazy off the field stuff.

quote:

1. Jaylon Smith, Notre Dame


He must have some major confidence he will come back from injury.

quote:

5. Deion Jones, LSU


I thought he played well, but that's way higher than I thought he'd be ranked.

But an impact DL is a way bigger need than impact WR.

After hearing the Jared Goff hype all year, it is interesting that he has Carson Wentz as the top quarterback.

impact DL (more specifically DT) could make the difference between us having a shitfest defense or at least early 20s.

But this draft is super deep on the DL, we could still get a super high quality guy in the 2nd on the DL and use our 1st to draft a position that isn't as deep that is of equal or similar need

Then LB and DL. Or two on the DL since we have like 3 legit NFL players at that position.

First 2 picks being Dline make too much sense

G is quite deep and can easily wait till the 3rd

No thanks.

Why pair him with two other young players when Smith is coming off injury?

Why even have Kikaha at OLB in a 4-3 anyway??? I hope he'd be used more as a rusher in hybrid looks.

but wish in one one hand and shite in the other I guess.

I'm 90% sure that Doctson will be the best WR of this draft.

I would be very happy with Lawson. Team him up with cam. If we could find a way to somehow get Lawson and Robinson, I would be ecstatic. Doubt we pick either.

I agree. Front 7 1st 2 rounds. Front 7 is loaded in the first 2 rounds, and it won't be like this every year. Guard in the 3rd. Based on who we sign in free agency...front 7 or WR in the 4th.
