Both give me the shivers.  We may actually have the edge guys here already. What they need are the big guys in the middle to push the pocket perhaps? We really have not had that on a regular basis since Darius was here.

I disagree -- I don't think we have edge guys. If you go with needs-based drafting, you've got to open it up to likely needs over two seasons. It puts more positions of need on the table to minimize overreaching. So, with that logic: Josh Allen is probably gone after this season. He'll be asking too much for his level of production, coupled with Trevor's coming extension. Tavon Walker doesn't look like a game wrecker outside. His considerable strength and athleticism is better harnessed by playing him almost exclusively inside. Thus, the edge cupboard is already bare.  

CB is the only other premium position outside of D- or O-line I'd be happy to see addressed at #24. Darius Williams is likely a cap casualty after this season, and one-to-three of Porter/Ringo/Banks/Forbes/Smith should be available at #24. 

The only non-premium position exception I'd make is for Dalton Kincaid, who looks to have a Travis Kelce ceiling and a TJ Hockenson floor. If Kincaid somehow slips to #24, I'd be happy with that selection. Pederson could getting into a scoring war with just about any team, including the Chiefs, with Engram & Kincaid, ETN, and the versatile trio of wideouts.
