I made it clear that if we can get a good deal and the top QBs are gone (frankly I think only Goff is worth that high a pick and that is borderline) trade down. Tunsil is the best prospect THIS year - in other years he might only make top 10. But lets look hard at the so called top prospects this year besides QB and Tunsil:
Guess it depends on what a "good deal" is
Ramsey. Does not create turnovers. To me you pick a DB this high and he needs to have a history of creating turnovers.
I agree, thats a concern I've raised in here a few times. Where are the big plays? Doesnt seem like he makes many.
Bosa. NOT an elite pass rusher; and this high he needs to be
I dont know if I agree about this. I know his sack total was down this yr (5.0) but he still had 16 TFL's. Last year he had a dominant year, recording 13 1/2 sacks and 21 TFL's. His first yr he had 7 1/2 sacks and 13 1/2 TFL's. Those are really strong numbers. If he is available at 4, if we dont re-sign Hardy (and I dont think we will) I think he would be worth considering. You could put him at LDE, move Lawrence to RDE and use Gregory as mainly a pass rusher on nickel/dime downs.
Treadwell. Got serious holes in his game. Raw but I just do not see a prospect worth a top 5 pick.
Unless there is something more wrong with Dez long term that they arnt telling us, I wouldnt consider Treadwell at all.
Jack is someone who is intriguing- but not as a top 5 pick
If he is the playmaker at MLB people believe he is and he is healthy, it sounds like he is well worth an early pick, maybe even our 4th overall. I dont think they re-sign McClain (unless its a bargain deal) and even if they do, I wouldnt just hand him the MLB job after what we saw this year.
MEANWHILE we have who behind Free; and Free is deteriorating. DO you really think he has another year left that can go 16 games PLUS PLAYOFFS? Green has shown nothing outside a propensity to get injured.
Actually if we cannot trade down much at all I would take what we can get and maybe grab Stanley. Or if we can go down to say 10 or so take a good hard look at the DTs. HAYDEN MUST GO!
They can find a starting RT anywhere. Value free agent or mid to even late round round pick. If Green is healthy I expect he will strongly challenge for the RT spot. There's no way I'd invest our top pick on a RT this year, not with what we already have invested the past few years. Its overkill.
I am hoping we get Goff, Wentz or Lynch with our top pick. If that doesnt happen and they are stuck at 4, Bosa is someone I'd consider. I wouldnt be shocked if they considered Elliott there as there are probably quite a few teams between 8-15 or so that would take him, meaning if we move down they might miss out on him. Jack might be a serious upgrade to the LB corp and give us another playmaker in the front 7.
Ton of good DT's, I would think they'd definitly consider some of those but not in the early part of round one.
