Is Wirfs good enough to take over Derrick Brown (I know you're dead set on getting the DT from Buffalo, but no guarantees we can/will sign him, NT is a gaping hole on this D)
I've seen a few scouting reports that say Wirfs is a RT only at the NFL level.
Ideally first pick is Thomas or Brown and then hopefully a guy like Fulton is available around 20 when we use Rams pick.
But if Brown is our selection early... the next 2 picks should be OL, either OT or C/G.
I'm wondering what the possibility of getting Trent Williams in the off season will be, he's adamant about not playing for the Skins and I wonder if he could be had for a 2nd or some package of players/picks.
I've watched Wirfs move to LT when Alaric Jackson was hurt and he's better than Jackson, certainly more consistent, but he's not as good as Thomas. Wirfs can play either OT position and has. I don't know why they keep him at RT, although IMO, Alaric Jackson lacks the strength to face off with the bull rushers he'd likely see at RT. With that said, I want Derrick Brown.......... alot. My ideal draft would be to sign Jordan Phillips in free agency and to draft Derrick Brown with that first pick in round one. We'd finally have the beef in the middle of the D-Line to fix that run defense as well as players to collapse the middle of the pocket, allowing our DE's to get more penetration on the outside. I also believe the lack of a pass rushing DT is contributing to our lower sack numbers from the edge. If we could add Phillips and Brown, that would be ideal. I'd them used the second of our two first rounders to add a true LT. I really, really like USC OT Austin Jackson. He's made huge strides this year and if he decides to enter the draft, this would be a perfect spot to get him. We'll just have to see if he declares.
In round 2. I gotta go OG and there are several guys who should be available that I like a lot. I like Fulton, but IMO, CB is not nearly as big a need in the early rounds. I also have some CB's targeted in the 4-5 round area like Lamar Jackson of Nebraska, DeMarkus Acy of Missouri, Michael Ojemudia of Iowa and Jeff Gladney of TCU. I think they are being really overlooked right now.
I think Washington is determined to get at least a first round pick for Williams. At this point, with him being out of football for so long, I'm wondering what kind of shape he's actually in. He's also on the wrong side of 30 and that is when a lot of OT's start to break down. I think we'd be better off to draft a guy, as long as we stay away from Alabama OT's. They produce good NFL RT's but not many LT's.
Getting Brown and Phillips basically gives us a Stroud/Henderson middle DL. I'd be ecstatic. And then to land Jackson at 20 would be great. If we went that route, I'd be OK waiting til round 3 on CB and getting a C/G in round 2.
If Washington wants a first for Williams, yeah I'm not buying. I think he can get back into football shape by next season. But he's no spring chicken and will be a free agent in 2021 wanting a new deal.
I'd definitely send a 2nd or package deal for him though. Maybe Cam and a 3rd or something?
