My 3 finalists at 9 days out. Who do you select?

Here's my evolving perception at the top of the draft. This is based on no Butler deal before the draft-
I'm seeing 7 guys that are automatic picks if they are left at #11. I put an asterisk by Allen cuz I think he could possibly be downgraded for the shoulder issues, otherwise he is there,
Garrett
Thomas
Adams
Hooker
Fournette
Lattimore
Allen*
Then there are a clump of players that might be the highest rated at #11 but I don't think they take there-
Trubinsky
Watson
Mahomes
Howard
Cook
McCaffery
That leaves what I think they will choose from depending on how they stack their board and who is left-
Foster
Barnett
Conley
Let's say you are GM and all three are there who do you select? Just go with my no offense take and not argue that point.
My first inclination is Conley on my pure rating. I'm going Barnett though. I am swayed by the incredible depth of CBs- especially around the #32 spot. I would feel confident that one or two could be had there. Foster is possible if they green light him on the injuries and football smarts. Too many questions that I cannot answer to put him there. Barnett a slight reach? Possibly, but not a great chasm if you grade him within the your top 20 or so. He is the next best edge rusher at a need I am very tired of not seeing filled on this team. I think the FO feels the same way.
Barnett here sets up a nice possible CB take at #32 among:
White
King
Awuzie
Humphrey
Jackson

I think the saints would take mcaffery if he was still there. Barnett is Jarvis Jones 2.0 on this board. SEC guy that everyone pretty familiar with, at a position of perceived need, who was productive in college. I expect the meltdown to be just as high if/when we pass in him. 
Out of those 3 I think Foster has the highest ceiling

Foster's medical is scaring me more and more. They say his shoulder may not be healed and could require another surgery like what happened to shaq lawson. I love everything else about him. For some reason i really like Conley. I'm thinking Barnett won't be available so really leaves me clueless about who else they can be thinking about. Really makes me wonder if a wild card like oj howard, mccaffery, cook, mike williams could be more at play than we think. I'm totally fine with Conley even if we still get Butler.

If we dont draft a defensive end at #11, I won't be pleased.
Posted on 4/18/17 at 9:40 am to blueslover
OJ Howard. I don't believe in reaching for a player just b/c they play a diff side of the ball.
Posted on 4/18/17 at 9:40 am to blueslover
So no chance of Reddick if he is there. I honestly like him better than those three. Of the CBs you listed available at 32 I like King over White then the rest as you have them listed.

Why? Besides CB, it's the deepest position in this draft. They will be some really good DE's available later in the draft.

DeMarcus Walker in the 3rd wouldn't be terrible.

Barnett. We need someone opposite from Cam who can get after the QB.
Like you said, we can grab a quality corner at 32 (assuming we don't trade it away for Butler).

I've seen people question his work ethic over the last couple days.

If we get a defensive stud I'll be really happy.
If we get Fournette/McCaffrey I'll act disappointed...but deep down will be excited. Especially if Fournette
Disappointed if we take a QB at #11.

My rage would know no bounds if we take a QB at 11.
I could kind of understand a RB at 11, since we have no depth there, but I expect us to snag one later in the draft. SP has raved about the RB depth in the middle rounds, and most of the top-end talent in this draft is defense. I don't see how Leonard would make it past the Panthers pick. He fits there perfectly, addresses a need and is a stud. I wouldn't hate picking McCaffrey at 32 if he falls, so long as we go defense at 11.

I agree!
Are you feeling OK? ??

Gotta think Reddick should be in the discussion at 11.

I actually like watts over Barnett.
Plays the run better. Pretty much the same on measurables

From those three, EASILY Foster or Conley. If you could give me a certified clean bill of health I'd absolutely go Foster. With that uncertainty I might lean Conley, but Barnett sucks.

How freaking stacked was Ohio St. in 2015?
That team was ridiculously talented. Just look at the D.
It seems like every starter was drafted high.
I mean to have arguably the top 2 CBs and No. 1 S, how the F did anyone pass the ball on them?

How bad was the LSU offense to not get more out of having Beckham and Landry on the same team!?!
