And I Love it!

http://ble.ac/2FTJUpB

"A player's situation often dictates whether he's successful at the professional level. The team, coaching staff and system are all major factors in an individual's development.

Josh Jackson has the best ball skills of any defender in this year's class. Yet he showed how much he struggles even with a simple backpedal at the combine. Iowa used a zone-heavy defense in which Jackson wasn't asked to consistently pedal and cover in man situations. Instead, his length, eye discipline and ability to drive on or high-point the football came into play.

Jackson's eight interceptions and 26 defended passes led the FBS. But Jackson won't fit into any system. He needs to be in a situation similar to the Hawkeyes' scheme. Carolina leans on a zone-heavy approach that once made Josh Norman into the game's best cornerback"

 

Give me him and Kyzir White in the 3rd.  And our secondary is totally changed overnight.

Yeah Jackson, Reid as 1 & 2 would be ideal.  Doubt Reid can last until our pick in Rd 2, though.

I think some of the offensive weapons in mid to late rounds can be productive this year (Hines, Samuel from NC State for instance are my homer guys), and doubt we'll be grabbing one of the top RBs (or WRs, now).

CB, S, OL, DE, TE are just more important at this point than RB and WR, or harder to replace if nothing else.  Also like a versatile guy like Jaylen Samuels who has played RB, FB, TE, WR in college to be a swiss army knife option if McCaffrey takes on more of Ladanian Tomlinson role under Norv.

I doubt Reid makes it to our 2nd.  If he did, you take him.

But id be fine with 

Rd 1 Jackson

Rd 2 offensive weapon.  Chubb/TE

Rd 3 Kyzir White

If he is the number one corner, do you think he makes it to our pick? Don’t get me wrong, I would be very happy if this happens!

I found that strange also. They beat him up for not being able to play man yet PFF has him ranked 1st of the CBs. I don't think he'll make it to our pick. Also, interesting to see Jaire Alexander not even in their top 5 when I've seen him going early teens in a lot of mock drafts. 

I know the huddle is against taking another corner early in the draft but there won't be a game-changing DE on the board and I don't like the idea of drafting a safety, RB, or OG in the first round. CB may be the best value at our position.

Me personally, I'm actually all about taking a corner in the first. Jackson, Alexander and Isaiah Oliver all have the goods imo

Fine with this. This draft could shake out really well. It seems like good prospects in positions of need should be available when we pick. For instance, we could go: CB, TE, RB, S, C/G but say our target TE isn't there at 2, well we should be able to land a C/G or S there without issue and come back to TE later on.

If we did miss out on Chubb or our choice TE at 2, I'd really be fine with going Safety, Safety with 2 and one of the 3rds. It seems like there is a little depth with safey and lord knows it's a position of need.
