What are we doing in the draft?

[Aussie Tank]

Fields or Sewell at 8 or trade back would be my ideal start to the draft

Any consensus here at the Huddle about what the teams biggest needs are?

QB, OL, CB in that order.

I tend to agree. Any other needs? Or those are just a second thought right now...

Plenty. DL, MLB, S, TE. Sure, we signed a couple of stopgaps, but we need more long-term solutions. We'll address most of these in the draft and FA after.

Let's say Big Mac somehow makes it to 8 and the big 4 are gone. Sewell, Surtain, and Slater are there. What do we do?

Nice avatar there @Sean Payton's Vicodin.  Well done

But in the scenario given 5 QBs get drafted before our pick, right?   Chase, Pitts, Sewell, etc all on the board?  I just think they are in a slightly different tier.   It’s not that I don’t like Surtain though.    

This is probably a dumb idea, but if Chase were still on the board at 8, I would have to think long and hard about taking him.  I know, its hardly a position of need, but I think Chase has All-Pro written all over him.

Sounding like more and more teams have concerns about Fields' ability to process and make progressions. He looked good in the underwear Olympics, but he may indeed be available when we pick. Of course, if he is Dwayne Haskins Part 2, no thanks.

Yeah, well he is an Ohio State QB after all...

That WR corps would be deadly (if we have a QB who can get them the ball).

The only thing he and Haskins have in common is the school they played at.

Which, historically, has failed to produce any relevant NFL talent.  It is a concern.

Yeah  - Jamar Chase, DJ Moore, Robby Anderson and CMC thrown in for good measure?  Holy hell.....
