I think I'd be cool with these 3 dudes being our first 3 selections:

Thoughts?

Replace Taco Charlton with McCaffrey or OJ Howard.

 

Guys we are moving back into the 1st after selecting  a stud most likely  Fournette or OJ Howard

Target: for the move up McCaffrey or OJ Howard

First can't replace the #40 pick with OJ Howard or McCaffrey because both are now being projected to not make it out of the 1st.  So wont work.  OJ has made himself a top 15 pick.  McCaffrey is gaining momentum to be a 1st round pick.

aint happening. 

However, I do like the Zay Jones at the end of the 2nd.  my 2nd favorite receiver in this draft.

Until sports writers understand the number of people Stewart has to make miss before he even gets to the line of scrimmage, there is no hope of viewing anything objectively. If we were to draft Fournette at 8 and he averages 3.5 YPC, talking heads will say he wasn't as good as projected. The reality is far more complicated, especially considering Stew is one of the most elusive big backs in the league. 

In a nutshell: I don't trust their analysis when they only use YPC to judge Stewart and justify us picking up a running back. The line was atrocious at times last season. Put Stew behind what Shanahan was running last season in Atlanta and he would easily be considered one of the best backs in the league.

We need with our top three picks some combination of RB, WR (burner), and a real left tackle prospect. Then a blocking tight end to run the Shula two step. that takes us through round 3 (4 picks). Although we could get Michael Roberts in round 5 or 6 to fill that need perfectly. 

Guard and DT have both guys going up next year for contracts. We can't (Re: won't) pay all four what they want. so one Guard and one DT type. we also need a backup guy at MLB (so a fifth or sixth round type). (Rounds 4-6) 

Those are our most glaring weaknesses. After that it's positions that need heir apparent types (DE, C, LB- for TD, SS)

pick the best possible guy at one of those positions.

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
    • I’m hoping SMU messes it all up and wins out. Imagine the SEC & BI0 would crap themselves trying to “fix” the problem.
