WR and CB are the positions to watch closely now at 17, unless they bargain bin a good WR or CB next week to supplement for the losses of Ridley and Williams.

Personally? I think finding a CB in free agency is more likely to be decent enough to replace Williams in 2024, as Tyson Campbell is "technically" the CB1 here on our defense. 

I think WR has to be the play at 17. Has to be. It's a deep class, but, the top tier guys there are must have's in my opinion. Wouldn't mind a trade up for Rome Odunze but you have to find a willing trade partner for that, if they stand there at 17? Brian Thomas Jr. would be ideal, but, if he's gone?

I would rather them trade down. Not high on Adonai Mitchell personally.

Yeah if Mitchell is there I think they take him, if not I think they go Thomas Jr. If he's gone I could see then going oline

I don't know how I feel about Adonai Mitchell. Didn't seem very productive in college. Had only a few good games here and there. Just not sure he's somebody I take with the 17th selection. 

If it's not Odunze or Thomas Jr. I would take a chance with a trade down, pick-up an extra 2nd or 3rd and take the best interior player available on either side of the football. 

RD2 gives me more chances at a WR that maybe makes more sense. Maybe you can grab a guy like Xavier Leggett at that point, maybe Ladd McConkey is there, maybe Ricky Pearsall is there, etc. 

I think if they can get bolster the line play a little bit, by moving back, they can get away with Kirk, Zay, Washington and a new face via free agency and the draft in my opinion.
