What if BPA is Will Campbell?

If the Patriots or Jets don’t take Will Campbell, he will be there for us. Do you draft him?

I wouldn’t be mad if we did. He’s by all accounts a can’t miss LT prospect. We have Icky and he improved a lot last year, and I would be happy to re-sign him. The reason why it might be a sound decision is that it’s clear, Bryce needs time in the pocket, and while our O-line is top 10 now, if Icky gets hurt, who slides into LT? Additionally, Icky can also move inside to guard if Lewis gets injured. Our O-line, while top tier, is thin, and ensuring the Bryce’s backside is protected for years to come and not vulnerable to one player getting injured is worth selecting Will Campbell. Campbell could also play guard. 
 

in short, it’s clear Bryce is a star with a great O-line. Ensuring the quality and depth of the O-line will cement the offense for the next 5 years, if we pick Campbell. Yes, we need D help, but what’s the point if Bryce has a shaky line due to a LT injury?

If there's one thing for sure about the draft it's that there's no such thing as a sure thing. Unless we're planning on doing something else with Icky I'd be fielding calls to move off of that pick.

He is a pass blocker extraordinaire, draft him and move icky to right

Don't mess with the OL.

Mess with the defense.

If this scenario does happen, then it pretty much cleans up the oline, somewhat cheaply, for a very long time.  Fitt painted the front office into a corner with the moton deal and that has to be addressed at some point.  I would prefer walker, Carter or trade back but I would be pretty happy if we landed the best LT in this draft.  Icky could be a monster on the right side.

If he is actually BPA then yes. Save money with Moton and flip Icky to the right or trade Icky for a pick. I really do think y'all will be surprised tho with the defensive players at 8. I think Will goes early, Hunter, TMac (surprise), Johson, and the 2 QBs. I wouldn't be shocked if Carter is the only non CB off the board from a defensive perspective at 8.

      Oh I can see the logic but for a team that is trying to breed a positive culture. Moving on from one of the teams true leaders right after finally turning the oline into a strength might bring the house of cards down

      Graham and Nolan should be our top two options.  If we have learned anything from Philadelphia is that a Stout D-line is a key to success. Brown, either Nolan/Graham, and a combination of either Norman-Lott/Alfred Collins (3rd round) followed up with Robinson makes a SOLID D-line rotation. This would open up things for Clowney and Wonnom who are under reasonable contracts.  Draft someone like Kennard or Princley at 57 (or trade up a little 50 - 48) and we are cooking.  O2 from UCLA is a great prospect similar to Walker that could be had in the 4th or 5th round. We use free- agency to fill out lesser expensive positions like safety, RB, and LB.  If we sign M-Jax back that is a huge win for us as well. This would allow up to focus on EDGE in FA and the draft next year.  Once Brown's contract expires, we resign either or both of our DT's from this year to replace his cap hit. After this season we should be in a better place to rotate in draft picks and expiring contracts annually.  When we trad too many picks for mid QB's and are terrible drafting in rounds 2, 3, 4 it results in zero depth.  Morgan and Tillis have an opportunity to put us back on track over the next two seasons. I'd be trying to get either or both of Talanoa Hufanga and Tre'von Moehrig.  Moehrig is likely out of our range because LV has an insane amount of cap space. Julian blackmond or Justin Simmons would be good signings that wouldn't break the bank at S. LB is pretty cheap in the free agency market, specifically ILB.  The same goes for backup RB.  I'd take a flyer on Ollie Gordon II or Rocket Sanders in the draft as a power compliment to Chuba.  The RB's in this draft are so deep we could likely steal a high quality UDFA RB from this draft as well.  The kid out of Syracuse runs too high, but is a beast.  Pretty sure his name is LeQuint Allen.  I see him anywhere from 4th to UDFA.
