Definitely if Hutch is there unless Ojabo is too. Then it is tough pick for me

Ekwonu would probably be available, but would fans be happy with taking a LG that high? I'd be fine with it, but I bet I'd be in the minority. Personally, I think you have to take the best available player, which could be a WR. I'd be thrilled with that. If Neal is on the board, it would still be a hard pass from me, no matter where he falls in round 1. I just don't think he's a franchise OT. He doesn't stand out to me at all, even in this weak class. We have to hit on every player in the first 3 rounds. We've been missing on way too many players and that's why our team is so bad.

If Ekwonu gets perceived as a comp to Quentin Nelson then I am fine with it and I think many here would be also. But if Olave or Williams at WR are there it would be very hard to pass on that.

I like Ekwonu a lot, but I don't think he's the next Quenton Nelson. I see him more as a Wyatt Teller type, which is still very good. If Jameson Williams is on the board, I'm running to the podium to take him. I really, really like that kid. I would also be very happy with Chris Olave, but I'd have to see who else was available before making him my choice. There will be some excellent players on the board when we pick and given that we have needs at almost every position, it will be a tough choice.
