If they are all on the board? Adams is now my #2 guy overall, so if all are on the board, we have to draft him.

If he's off, and Thomas and Fournette are there, then we have to go with Thomas, as he is now my #3.

I've always been a Fournette guy, but if I am sticking with my board, and Adams and Thomas are there, then they are both now rated higher than Leonard. RB is deep. DE isn't, and Adams is in a class of his own at Safety, and elite.

 

Well, that's it. Bronn has spoken. This is what we HAVE TO DO. HIs "big board" and all.

LOL!

Not a single one of you wants OJ Howard. That is shocking.

Not at 8.  If, somehow, he's truly the #1 target, (and all of the other six above go 1-7), then no logical reason not to trade down with Cleveland and still get him.

I don't see how Barnett consistently benefits this team as a 4-3 DE.

Because he's a consistently beneficial 4-3 DE based on three years of insane production at the highest level of college football from ages 18-20, has ample room to grow, and this team desperately needs a young, cheap, "dog" at DE.

with G'man's outlook on the importance of secondary I don't see any db taken in 1rst round, maybe ever...

I get the motor thing, but I see him more as a 3-4 OLB with potential to play some DE in various packages.  Of the guys listed, he'd be next to last for me in front of only Bolles.

Ironically it's Barnett with experience in the 4-3 and Thomas played in a 3-4.  We'll see.

I voted McCaffrey mostly because he's the "flavor de jour," and all the clips I've been watching of him have me excited about what our offense could be IF Shula would use him well (the big if).

I like our choices.  I expect Thomas & Adams will be gone, but if either fell, Heck yes.  I'm torn on the Fournette / McCaffrey debate.  Such different players, but both incredible talents.  Both give us a weapon on offense.

I also really like Howard. 

Barnett has kind of been off my radar.  Not sure why exactly.  But really any one of these 6.   I have only seen one Mock that has Bolles projected in picks 1-8.  Wouldn't mind him late in the 1st if we trade back up...

CMC is going to be an awesome JOAT and people do not understand the Le'Veon Bell feel this kid has. I voted OJ to appease the Sanjay's ego ;) but CMC would be my real vote.
