Well FA so far..

[45catfan]

I've only been mocking a combination of WR, OL and QB recently.  No more than one (early on I was mocking 2 OL).  What makes the most sense is a C/G guy.  That's almost a must, especially if Paradis can't get his crap together. WR would make sense too considering this class, but Hurney has made it clear he wants vets there seemingly impatient to wait for a rookie to develop.   If a late round QB is there they like, that's an option as well. The TE class is bad.  Circle back around next year.  For a guy that has been banging the table for a TE the past 5 years (day 1 or 2) that tells you how thin this TE class is.

Grab Simmons and then move up for Gladney.  Pick up a run stopping DT in FA.   Win Super Bowl

[WOW!!]

I agree with the OG/C type Olinemen.. But with the little to no action at CB and DT I've backed off a bit from that... I definitely want a WR but with all the WR signing I've look later in the draft like 6th or 7th round... I wonder how Far Bryan Edward's fall due to injury... Desmond Patton has caught my eye as well.. If they draft a QB in this draft I'll be flabbergasted.. With so many young arms already on the roster needing the reps ....why?? I'd rather go for a special teamer type specialist guy in later rounds..  Or a developmental Lineman...

Grier isn't going to pan out.  I can easily see him getting cut in the final roster trim (practice squad possibly).  Unless he completely turns it around, he's no more than a 3rd string guy.  Cut your loses and move on.  Hanging on to a bad pick in an attempt to save face only magnifies the poor lack of judgement.

3 WR, 1 OG, 1 QB, 1 TE,  1 DE, 2 Safety  right??

No DT with only 1 on the roster .

No CB with only 1 with starting experience..

No LB with only 1 with starting experience..

So?? What does this mean?? A full defensive draft?? 

I kinda wanted to take advantage of this strong WR draft but now they signed 3 .. Which still doesn't stop them from drafting 1 but why??

I like the OG signing... But I still wanted to grab a interior Olinemen in the draft.. But doing nothing with the defense in FA is helping that out...

I really think its stupid throwing a bunch of rookies out there into the fire so early.. But it seem like we will doing that all over the defense.   We need atleast 3 DT and 2 new CB and 2 LB to fill this roster.. I hope we're not planning to do that all from the draft...

Wetherby and Smith, so 2 DE.

I still don't see why drafting a late round QB is any less than a gamble.. Clausen got more then 1 year to prove himself terrible.. We can afford to give Grier another year instead of drafting any other "hidden gem" /probably trash QB you think is better in the 7th round... Please don't  be that person..

Shouldn't be drafting for need. Seriously if Jeudy is there and we pass him up i'm going to lose my mind.

That may in fact be our R-1 + 2 picks right there.  The WRs and DLs are going to push other talent down.  If Henderson and Fulton go ahead of him, Gladney could be right there at 38 BPA and fill a HUGE need.

You take Jeudy over Simmons, Okudah, or Brown? All three fit a need and are rated higher on my list

Well they did say they wanted to draft defense very heavily. As Jeff Foxworthy would say "There's your sign". 

Actually Bill Engvall did the here's your sign jokes, Foxworthy did red neck jokes.

Unless we resign Cockrell, our cb situation looks pretty dire. Even with Cockrell we would obviously still need more corners but right now we don't even have 2 corners we could start and with the amount of nickel that gets played in today's NFL, that's a scary thought. If we can nab Okudah at 7, that would be a huge win.

We obviously have a huge need at DT as well, but I'm more confident we could find a potential starter in round 2 or 3 at DT than I am for cb. Building out our cb roster with day 2 and 3 draft picks is what we did in 2016 and that didn't work out great then and with Hurney's spotty drafting history outside of round 1, probably wouldn't be any better this time around.
