Since the Season is basically over, shit happens is guess, anyone else evaluating biggest team needs and starting their scouting for the draft now ? I mean we still could sneak into the playoffs but no way we beating the ravens or chiefs in the playoffs with browning or whatever is coming at Qb sooo yeah. My favorites are Oline and Te as last year. But i thik a DT could help us aswell cause of the Contract.
Free Agents after this Season (for interest):
-D.J. Reader
-Tyler Boyd
-Chidobe Awuzie
-Jonah Williams
-Tee Higgins
-Akeem-Davis Gaither
-Markus Bailey
-Josh Tupou
-Trenton Irwin
-Irv Smith
and some more…
If we are picking in the 6-10 range, I would like to see us trade down and pick up extra 2nd and 3rd round picks. If we suppose we have the 8th overall pick and trade down to 23, get picks 55 and 87, you have the ability to draft essentially 6 of the top 100 players.
Some in theory maybe something like:
23rd: Patrick Paul (OT)
40th: Kris Jenkins (DT)
55th: Beaux Collins (WR)
72nd: Cade Stover (TE)
87th: Sedrick Van Pran ©
I just pulled a couple mock drafts and looked to see who people think will be available around those picks. These 5 would in theory bring you a new, cheaper RT, a real depth option at DT, a WR to replace Boyd/Higgins, an athletic threat at TE, and interior help on the O-line. Probably the biggest weaknesses on the team.
The tackles have been fine they need interior help get Cooper Bebe or Zak Zinter
