I’m thinking there will be a top 15 talent at either CB, LB or DT....... that slides to #27.

Guice would be a nice surprise and I’d love to see DJ Moore at 27.

Just don’t pick Lamar Jackson.... he can’t throw !!

There's going to be Defensive talent that slides because of the run on QBs and offensive skill players.

Talk about not being a need we have two top 15 Rbs already on our roster. Why on earth would we draft one in the first round?

Pick Guice..... now have 2 young quality rbs at great value and cheap salaries !!!

Take Ingram.... whose due a high salary next year.... and trade him while value is high.

Get a nice draft pick you can use in a trade NEXT year (combined with other picks obviously) to get maybe Drew’s successor ......or just draft another young quality player with the extra pick.

Remember the situation when we drafted Deuce McCallister.

Still doesn't make sense. You just signed your 39 year old QB to two years hoping to take advantage of this young talent. You don't draft a replacement for a RB who still has a year left on his contract in the first. You either draft someone who contributes immediately or you draft your next QB. That goes double because we don't have the luxury of a 2nd round pick this year.

RB can be had later in this draft or addressed next year

Kamara gets hurt and offense struggles.....proof, saw it last year...... unfortunately, Ingram isn’t what he’s made out to be.

I think Guice could be just as special as Kamara..... a chess piece u can move all over the field.

That is great and all but RB value is the easiest to find all over the draft.

Sproles, Jordan Howard, Tarik Cohen, Leveon Bell, David Johnson, Jay Ajayi, Dion Lewis, Jerick McKinnon and God knows how many other non 1st round running backs on NFL rosters could fit seamlessly in this offense

FRANCHISE backs..... and that’s what we’re talking about with Guice are not that easy to find.

Only 2 in this draft: Barkley (top 4 pick) and Guice.

That fast running back from Georgia who can catch the ball is worth a 2nd round pick.

Forgetting the stupidity of drafting Guice, I want no part of him, dude will be a cancer. The coaching staff at LSU couldn't wait to get rid of him from a locker room perspective.

Kamara missed the Atlanta Game sure but what team wouldn’t struggle offensively with one of their best players missing?

I do think taking another RB is imperative but it can be with a later pick.

What exactly do you think you’re going to get for him? He’s worth way more to us than a 5th rd pick.

I agree that there will be top talent at 27.
Thats why we should not reach for TE or any other position.

Yeah there will be a lot of talent available at almost every position when we pick that could contribute and provide great insurance.

My preference for the 1st pick would be to select someone who could affect the passer.

So far, Harold Landry, Maurice Hurst, Rashaan Evans are my top realistic choices. Like Hurst, Marcus Davenport is starting to slide in some mocks, too.

Of the 4 players you mention above....

Evans (LB from Alabama) might fall to 27......
he would be a good pick !!

Hurst (Quick DT Michigan) might fall but do we pass because his heart condition.....it’s a risk.

The other 2 players won’t fall to 27
