Ronald Jones and Braden Smith

I think there's a solid chance we take Smith if he is there in round 2. Like JackCity said in a previous thread about him, he checks all the boxes that we look for in an O lineman. Size/big school/mauler/ect. I think that is why we passed on Hernandez. His lack of size and playing for a small school.

It's not whining.  When you take a guy in the first round, he has to be an immediate impact player, especially when highly ranked players are there at positions that can be upgraded on the team.  This kid has some flashes, but is a project.  The pick is a waste in the 1st round.

A waist? You are clueless, I wanted offense but If the guy turns out to be a future All Pro or Pro Bowler they maid the right pick.  Time will tell.

I'm content to wait to be proven right.  I was right about Byron Leftwich when most of the board was riding his jock.  And I'm right about this, too.  You don't draft projects in the 1st round and hope they pan out.  I'll be reminding you every time he under-performs his draft status.  He will never be an All Pro.  Never.

I just hope they find someone that will push AJ Cann at RG. I think that spot was a detriment to the run game last year and I really want to see it improve.

I'll stay open-minded about how they address it, but I really would like to see it addressed.

With as many times we've traded up recently in the 2nd, I don't expect them to stay put. If they have someone targeted I see them trading to get them rather than wait to see what falls to us.

Nathan Shepherd and Maurice Hurt because we like to stockpile D Linemen

Man. NFL teams must be begging you to be their GM with knowledge like that.

Ronnie Harrison - S - Alabama

Wouldn't surprise me. They like him and he's from the SEC. The draft is about the future, not the now.

Takes Church's salary off the books in 2019.  (6.25 mill - no dead money) Makes sense. 

I'd like to see offensive help in round two though.

^^Would potentially be BAP and both could realistically be there. Not bad!

If Hernandez doesn't fall, Tyrell Crosby would be good

I agree. Im thinking O-line heavy. Potentially both a G and a OT in rounds 2-3. Crosby, Williams, Brown and Smith could be in play. Maybe a RB in the 3rd if one of the top rated guys continue to fall like Guice, Chubb, or Jones.

I am thinking G or T in round 2 and TE in round 3.

Connor Williams at RG would be nice too

Connor Williams would be nice too, but I really don't see him making it to our pick. I can see him being taken in the first 5 picks tonight.

Why are you so anxious to trade away picks? I'd rather trade down and acquire picks. I'd only ever trade up for a QB.

How many rookies you think are gonna make this roster?

I want a T or a G, but I do like Oliver or Jackson if we kept wanting to stack up our D.

I feel like it’s gonna be Orlando Brown in the 2nd. Just a feeling.

I doubt it.  He is out of shape and seemed to have effort issues, that isn't going to fly with Coughlin.

It depends on how many veterans we cut.

Unless he can play RG, which he can't, I'm not interested.
