I mean everything outside of the 1st is almost a total crap shoot, but I find nothing I hate with this draft if we trade back to 12 for that pick.

 

Kinlaw at 12 is a good pick.  What do we get for the trade back?

Honestly, I wouldn't have any major issues with it. Glad someone else can recognize that this roster is nowhere close to being able to actually put a DL on the field.

That was sort of my first thought: at last, somebody with an audience gets the idea.

If we don't do something else to address DT, then we're pretty much going to be forced to throw mud at the wall and see what sticks in the draft just to be able to field a DL. Fotu in the 5th would be a huge steal IMO.

I agree but my thought process is you already grabbed Kerr, why pick a third NT instead of grabbing one after the draft for competition. I'd rather target another corner.

And I agree Fotu in the 5th is great value.

[WOW!!]

Yeah looking at that draft you added like 4 DT no LB or 4-3 edge rushers.. I definitely see another CB added and a MLB somewhere in this draft.

No to Kinlaw. A much better prospect will fall to 7.

I see Jourdan out here stealing my mocks, though I've got Chris Miller as the other Baylor connection in the 6th and McTelvin Agrim in the 5th instead of the Baylor DT.

Was thinking the same thing. She has us picking at 12 but with no additional picks through the draft

Like these players but would need the trade down to take Kinlaw. Also think I’d take flyer on another CB vs WR in late rounds

I think her thought was probably that when you're drafting that late, if you take two and end up with one between them then that's a win.

Kinlaw, Lynch and Fotu would beef up our Dline incredibly. I just don’t see Fotu falling into the 5th. 

[Shocker]

Kinlaw is a really good prospect.  Picking him at 12 and gathering more picks would be awesome.

A late 2nd, pick 60 roughly according to https://www.drafttek.com/nfl-trade-value-chart.asp

The Raiders don't have a pick in that range though, but they do have 2 first.

Our picks 7 and 38 are close to their 12 and 19 in value.  

That would be a very tempting trade for me. I think at 12 you are a realistic shot at one of the top OTs, top WRs, the second CB, or Kinlaw. 

Speaking of WR, I really don't like the idea of not drafting a WR in this class.  Don't fight a draft, if its loaded at a position take advantage of it.

I believe that, I know alot of GMs tend to just treat day 3 as a jump start on undrafted free agents. I just don't like dishing out those larger signing bonuses (around 325k for a 5th rounder) to a player you know will be cut, especially for a team with so many holes to fill like this one.

If it's a jump start on UDFAs just grab a couple there where the signing bonus is 0-25k.

I don't think you ever draft a guy you know won't make the roster. I mean, we currently only have two DTs on the roster. Okay, technically three but the third whose name escapes me has appeared in like two games over the course of four NFL seasons or something like that. I don't even count him. There's room, especially if one of them ends up on the PS.
