As far as needs, obviously, pass rusher but that's going to be filled by Hutchinson. I would still like to add another pass rusher besides Hutch. Need an outside receiver and I 100% agree with others who have said to trade up for Olave, London or Jamo. Jamo being my favorite of the 3. Then I would say interior Oline.

Well aware of the cult of BAP warriors entrenched amongst us.  It's a beautiful idea, but so are unicorns and utopia. 

I could be all good with Hutch and Allen manning the pass rush duties and rotating in Smoot and hopefully that 4th rounder  (Smith?) we've not really seen yet.  Another jar on the shelf would be cool, but I'd like to spend picks on more barren position groups if value lines up well enough. 

XWR and IOL are def big on my list and I'm not opposed to a trade up if that's what it takes for a worthy X.

I know what orthodox opinion is on taking a WR at #1.  But are we sure Hutchinson is significantly better than the top 4 WRs in terms of being a football player?  Why is Edge valued more than Xwr?  Don't the moves in FA show that there isn't a clear cut answer to that?

So if the staff identifies a top wide receiver they covet, why not pull the trigger at #1?  Or if they identify that the Lions really, really want Hutchinson and swap #1 & #33 for #2 and #32 (and some change)?  Then draft the WR of your choice at #2.

Just floating it.
