Quote:If I were Dave I would pretty much dedicate this draft to the offensive side of the ball, which last year was, well...offensive.

 

I think our defense is in pretty good shape and on the rise. Load up on offense, set Bortles loose, wish for the best. I'm not usually a "pick a WR high" but this year I would go:

 

1) Kevin White

 

2) Jake Fisher

 

3) Telvin Coleman or David Johnson 

 

Kevin White would provide Bortles a legitimate weapon to line up opposite of Allen Robinson. Fisher could battle it out with Beadles for LG, or potentially replace Luke Joeckel if Luke Joeckel continues Luke Joeckel-ing. And Telvin Coleman is a stud and could be a steal in the third- although he could end up going higher; I have heard some speculate that he could move as high as top of the first, but then other publications have him listed as the 7th or 8th best RB. If he is not available, David Johnson from Northern Iowa would be a pretty sweet consolation prize.

 

Even if you hate my picks, think its crazy outlandish, or despise the premise of the thread (obviously), go ahead and list out your three first (offensive) draft picks. Lets see what tantalizing combinations we can put together and drool over.

I am kinda trending towards offense too.

 

Only I'm not really thinking about taking a receiver high.

 

Ideally, if we could trade down and get two first rounders (e.g. Cleveland's 12th and 19th), I'd like to stock up on a couple of linemen first-Andrus Peat and Cameron Erving with those top two picks, then come back with a RB in the 2nd.

 

A Peat-Erving combo could not only upgrade at least two positions (LT and C), it would give us an insane amount of depth and competition and versatility along the OL.

 

It would effectively make us 3 deep at the tackle spots (Joeckel, Peat and Erving at LT; Parnell, Pasztor and Erving at RT) and two deep at C (Erving and Bowanko).

 

It would give us a bigger and more powerful OL to run the ball and provide better protection for Bortles.
