clots and hags don't have the same needs as us, they need a TE. TE is luxury/BPA pick for us.

If we're so worried about Bowers, I let one of them take him and let Mitchell fall to us or take one of the big uglies they pass on.

If we covet Mitchell THAT badly, sure, move up and grab him before anyone else does. I think we're in the catbird seat, though. Folks are either going to overreach for middling QB, partake in a run on WR, or take guys that we don't need or want and leave a heap of talent for our picking (or as trade bait for teams behind us).

As far as the Colts, I think if Bowers or Mitchel is there they would be BPA meets need and why I would want to jump the Colts as I think they will take either if one falls.  I think Saints could go Fuaga or Latham.  Most of their fans think RT will be the pick as well, RT could be BPA meets need. Agreed on BPA vs Needs drafting.  Im a BPA drafter, why id love Fuaga and Bowers in the 1st

The hags are the ones that make me nervous, lots of mocks have them looking interior line. JPJ or Barton have been landing at 16, IMO a little early, but again, if they are leaving guys like Murphy, Thomas, Mitchell on the board for us, we're winning whether we take them ourselves or get some extra picks to make mobility in this darft easier.

If Mitchell is there I think the Colts take him.  I'd be shocked if Mitchell makes it to 17.  TE is still a need for us as we only have 1 good one on the roster.  If Strange improves then it's just icing on the cake but I wouldn't bank on it.  I don't think Murphy fits what we want to do on defense.  He's 6' and under 300 lbs.  I think his teammate, the Outland trophy winner Unanimous All American would be a better fit for this defense. When you have a monster like Sweat next to you drawing double teams constantly it makes life a lot easier. I could see Newton possibility being in consideration but he is a little undersized as well although he's a little taller and bigger than Murphy
