One of them had 20 and the other had 19 OL in their top 100, and I think they both had 9 TE in their top 100! That's not really surprising this draft is going to have a record amount of players in it so it should be deeper than usual in most places, but it could be great for our specific needs.

We should really be able to go QB/WR at 1/33 and still be able to get two quality OL and a quality TE with our two 3rd and 4th that will be top 100. Give me something like:

Hutch/Thibs
Dotson
Kinnard (I like him more as a guard)
Mitchell
Otton

I'm not a big fan of Otton. I like a lot of other TE's in this draft though and we should be able to land one all the way through round 6 or 7. If we landed the other guys on this list though, I'd be thrilled! Kinnard is a monster and Mitchell is very good and can play either OT position. Adding those two O-Linemen would give us a ton of flexibility. Dotson would give us the breakaway speed we so desperately need and we'd finally have a great pass rusher opposite Allen. I'd still look to add another WR later in the draft and definitely an ILB and a Safety as well. If we keep Baalke though, I doubt we end up with any of these guys.
