Bryan is the best ceiling of the bunch, with Hurst having cardiac questions and Payne limited as a pass rusher...

You're right about the big target problem on third down and red zone attempts, and signing Cameron Meredith will go a long way in solving the big target dilemma.

You don't always have to solve that problem with Tight End.

Definitely. We need to upgrade opposite Cam Jordan - that should be our priority in this draft.

And I'm not sold at all on the Demario Davis signing - one good season and now will uproot and reestablish in yet another defense?

I'd prefer Leighton Vander Esch if he somehow fell to us...
