Thoughts on the draft with our new likely draft spot

[Bwood]

Kinda doubt that

Gonna have to agree with chuck on this one, which I rarely do.

The thought of getting rid of Williams and drafting Bernard is fugging ridiculous. You are either a raging UNC homer or you just do not understand the NFL whatsoever.

These days, if you have a good o-line (like every winning team should have) you could plug in any proven NCAA running back from the 7th round and have success.

So, if we are sitting at 14 and Geno or Barkley are still on the board with the Jets picking 15, and we get a call from KC wanting to give us their second rounder and next years first for our pick at 14, what do you do?

At 14 I'm taking that deal every day of the week....

If we can D Williams, then a big slow, beast on third down Tolbert and Stewart will be our guys. Can live with that as long as Stewart does not get hurt. He has had foot ankle issues several times in his career. I would love to know what we have in our backups.

I have hated the fact that we put so much money into the RB position, but know you need good ones as they go down constantly. I never want to take a RB in the first again, especially with the offense we run. Was just thinking of trading in the big DW contrac for a much smaller one.

Even if that's the path, I'd be wayy more comfortable taking a flier on a RB in rounds 5-7. No sense in passing up on the potential talent available for our o & d lines, fs, and wr

I agree. I have advocated trench guys for a long time and still agree that is the way to go. Just which trench guys, I guess the form of offense and who runs the show will dictate.

Just thinking out loud on the UNC kid. I think that is probalby where he will be taken and I think he might be good at the next level.

All the talking now is based on VERY early ratings on each of these guys, so it won't come into focus for awhile.

1st RD - best WR/CB available.

2nd RD - best OL/DL/FS available.

4th RD - whatever we haven't drafted yet out of WR/CB/FS/OL/DL.

5th RD - depth

6th RD - K/TE

what WR/CB do you think is top 15 draft pick worthy?

Keenan Allen/ Jonathan Banks, maybe Milliner but that's pushing

[TMS3426]

You say Banks? Did you see what Moncrief did to him in the Egg Bowl?

true i just think we can nab Patterson in the second while either suring up our D line or O line in the first. how do you feel about williams out of baylor?

I think he is behind Allen, Hunter, Patterson, Rogers, and Woods. Same level as Patton, Hopkins, and the Beaver kid. I would rather pass on those 2nd tier guys and reach for Wilson in 4. Trenches first two rounds.

i think we need to trade down a little to either grab another second pick so we can get a good CB/S you think wilson could be a legit deep threat #1?

[Jackofalltrades]

If we did move DLo I'd be content with A. Smith or T. Poole as long as they can block. Between Cam, Stew and Tolbert there's really no reason to get another RB, unless there's a huge value on day 3, IMO.

It's a good idea and it always gets mentioned, but rarely materializes.

I do, his speed has been questioned by some, but he is a long strider. I probably like him more than most. He is as good as those 2nd-3rd rounders, just a basket case. I agree with your strategy of dropping back to pick up a 2, but as JOAT said sometimes those trades don't happen easily.
