Probably gets drafted by Seattle or Carolina.

OR...

We could jump ahead of both in a trade with NYG. The #5 pick would likely only cost us this year's and next year's firsts.

Worth it to let him sit for a year behind Winston? I'm not sure but there's certainly a path.

Welp… Terron Armstead’s a Dolphin now. First round LT it is.

Damn, in the first round XVI? I can't stomach another underperforming 1st rounder on the O-line. We already have two as it is.

I'm crossing my fingers we go WR @ #18. Mike Thomas hasn't organized football in a long time & no one knows how the rehab is going.

I know it's been mentioned before about us not trading back in the Payton era, but wouldn't it be nice to trade back in the 1st and landing someone like Olave or Burks and acquiring more picks? We've hit in the 2nd and 3rd on OL like McCoy and Armstead. We don't have to draft an LT, just a T. Ram can hold down either side. I actually like the guy from Kentucky in the 2nd, Kinnard, who can play tackle or guard.

Of course I don’t really know what Dennis Allen will prioritize, but it’s hard to picture them straying from focusing on the trenches.

I think it’s still the plan. Letting Armstead walk makes me think a Qb is off the table. No sense in drafting one in a weak draft class and have him take a beating if his number gets called. Shore up the line, give them a year to gel and go after a Qb next year if need be. I think we kind find a receiver later on so I think tackle at 18 makes sense.

Ramz needs to stay where he is at RT. We better hope that Hurst can hold down LT all year or that Young has improved and that he isnt injury prone like the rest of our OL.

It’s gonna be silly for them to go for a QB next year after Winston wins the MVP and comeback player of the year awards THIS season! 😆

There's a few offensive linemen there who have the film, athletic SPARQ that wasn't there with Ruiz and Peat...

IF Pickett is there at 18 do you take him?

That’s what I’m saying.

Really no need to reach for an offensive lineman in the first rd.

Jahri Evans, Carl Nicks, Armstead’s can be had in mid rounds if your scouts have done their homework ;).

Gotta nail pick 18.

BPA assuming you've addressed the roster in FA.

Given the pursuit of Watson and the subsequent signing of Winston to a SHORT contract, I really can't rule out a trade UP for one of these QBs. That is assuming they're in love with one.

While I agree with your thoughts on the need to nail pick 1 Major, I don’t think it’s very position specific. First round WR picks like Kevin White and Cooks haven’t lived up to their draft positions while guys like Cooper Kupp and Colston have done well coming in later rounds. Matches up pretty well with the Armstead/Ruiz/Peat comparisons I say. So, WR or OL isn’t as important as getting it right like you say.

James Cook (Dalvin's brother) - RB Georgia

Projected mid/late rounder prospect

I saw a mock on NFL.com that had us picking Picket. I don’t love the idea but if Picket or Corral happen to be there at 18 I think they go for it.

Actually reminds me of Kamara-type of RB; but you'd need a power back to pair with him...

With the money committed to Michael Thomas, why go out in the first round and draft another WRx?

If the plan is to move Thomas next season, fine, then yeah, I can see taking a WRx in the first round...

The talent across our offensive line has dropped off dramatically the past five years, especially after losing Unger, and winning starts up front with elite talent...

Maybe with Sean's departure, Dennis Allen will give Ireland greater influence and trust him to not reach on an offensive lineman as they did on Ruiz...

This year's draft has franchise tackles that will be there through the first round as much as wide receivers...

Also, with as much money as committed to Kamara, we've got to be able to impose our will up front and force open running lanes for him to do damage...

A young stud to pair with Ramczyk, at LT or RT, would open the field up and bring back our legitimate play-action pass...

At the end of the day, you take the best player available that falls to you, even if it's a DT3, or if I dare say it, a QB1...

Really hoping Trevor Penning or Bernhard Raimann is there and we take one of them, or we get Daniel Faalele on Day 2, move Ramczyk to LT...

But if it's Ole Miss QB Matt Corrall or Florida CB Kaiir Elam, then it is what it is...

We definitely need a FA WRz, paired with a young rookie, to put opposite Mike Thomas, that's why I wouldn't mind waiting to R2 in a draft that is deep at WR...

We have a new HC, new assistants & trainers in town.

Let's see what direction they take @ pick #18 as we head to the draft.

Can't wait.

Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson or Jameson Williams. That’s my three if we go first round WR.

Cows lost Randy Gregory & Conner Williams to Free Agency and La'el Collins in a trade.

McCarthy has his eye on defensive ends & an "ole big ugly" offensive lineman to keep Dak upright.

The Saints bit is at about the 4:30 minute mark in the video.

Pickett would be a good pick for the Saints, IMHO, after listening to his interview. He compares himself to Joey B., for whatever it's worth.
