Safety can be a top need, but that doesn't mean we will be in a good position to take one early. I think everyone agrees it needs to be addressed, but picking one in the first two rounds? You can find young guys with talent in Rds 3-5, especially when the backbone of our defense is upfront. We just need not do what we have been doing which is not address safety AT ALL or just get a 1-year aging vet.

The top of our draft needs specific positions to be of significant talent to make a difference like WR, RB, OT, DE. There are only 2-3 safeties worthy of really high pick in this draft, and they will be off the board when we pick.

its too far away from the draft to know that. There's Minkah Fitzpatrick, Derwin James, and Ronnie Harrison are all top shelf safteys and the only one that seems to be guaranteed to go high is Fitzpatrick. You really have to at wait until April for things to really clear up about who exactly teams want in the draft  , and the combine /pro days/senior bowl are all done with

DE or WR in the first round. Saftey if the value for the first 2 isnt there.

Round 2

 

 

Elliott ALL DAY

[Cartel de Carolina]

I want a DE, S, CB and WR in the 1st 3 rounds. 

5th, 6th, 7th - OG, OL, etc

Safety has to be #1 priority. Mediocre ones in Barry Church and Cyprien went for a pretty penny in FA last year. We need a vet corner and vet WR in FA. Samuel, Funchess, Byrd are too green.

You could trade the pick for Earl Thomas in Seattle. He wants to be wooed by other teams.

[Cpt slay a ho]

De,S,Ot,Lb........

i’d address wr in fa, or make a trade. A guy I’d trade for is marquise goodwin from the 49ers, fits here perfectly

Interesting prospect right here. 

Marcus Davenport DE 6'6 250 Texas San Antonio

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2018-nfl-draft-utsa-pass-rusher-marcus-davenport-has-enormous-nfl-potential/

"Marcus Davenport is a 6-foot-6, 250-pound defensive end with long arms, explosive burst, and an array of pass-rushing moves. "

"Davenport currently has Pro Football Focus' third-highest grade among all 4-3 defensive ends in the country, trailing just Bradley Chubb and Nick Bosa. On 199 pass-rush snaps in 2017, Davenport has accumulated 43 pressures (eight sacks, six hits, 29 hurries). 

That equates to PFF's highest Pass-Rushing Productivity Score -- a metric that measures how often a defender creates pressure relative to how often he rushes the quarterback -- among 94 defensive ends playing in a 4-3 who've participated in at least 50 percent of their team's snaps. (For perspective, Von Miller has amassed 49 quarterback pressures on 249 pass-rush snaps this season.)

And Davenport's run-stopping grade is the third-best among all players at his position. Beyond all that, he isn't some obscure, one-year wonder. In 2016, he had the No. 15 overall PFF grade among 159 qualifying 3-4 outside linebackers. The year before that, Davenport was given the No. 62 overall grade among 286 4-3 defensive ends who qualified. 

The guy can play. Simple as that. "

Looking forward to researching the NFL draft in the upcoming weeks and months. Great time of the year.

Is it too late to draft Tiquan Underwood?

That's an interesting idea.  If we got a decent price/(pick) for him, I would be 100% on board.

I'd trade any combination of picks this year to get Earl Thomas and Richard Sherman . Secondary goes from a glaring weakeness to a huge strength.
