I wanted Winfield  in the 2nd but the Shenault is the right pick because its best for Minshew and we don't need 4 rookies starting on D.  I feel Wilson takes another step this year as he is a veteran now and his 2nd year starting

I love your optimism and can't disagree on the 1st 4 picks. However, if I had to deviate I'd take Clyde Edwards-Helaire instead of Chaisson. Chaisson seems like a true boom or bust pick and wasn't that productive in college. Edwards-Helaire would have likely been an unpopular choice by the media and fans. He is perfect for Gruden's offense and would give Minshew a chance to succeed. It's hard to see that with the current stable of running backs. Edwards-Helaire, Shennault and Eifert would give the offense a chance to succeed if Minshew is the "real deal." 

The defense is going to be horrible this year with or without Chaisson, so they could address this position with their 2nd 1st rounder next season. Someone like Carlos Basham would be a great addition. He doesn't have the burst of a Chaisson, but he is more well rounded and less of a potential bust. Adding Trevor Lawrence to this offense might finally turn this team into winners and no longer be the laughing stock of the league. Even if Minshew plays well, he can't be compared to a talent like Lawrence.
