Quote:This is hard


1) Thomas- Just don't think you can pass him if he's there


2) Lattimore - Sure we signed Bouye, but with the way the NFL is now you need 3 starting cornerbacks, Lattimore would gives us one of the best young groups of cornerbacks ever assembled and also would you let you potentially trade Bouye or let him walk down the line fairly easily.


3) Hooker- Not my favorite pick but he does seem like a pretty special talent. Wouldn't really be to happy if the chips fell that way but unless we can trade down I'd rather take a special talent like Hooker over a lesser talent like Allen perhaps.


After that I really don't know who. I mean i guess Howard would have to be an option, but I really dont rate him as high as most and a TE at #4 is kind of bananas. This would also be a crazy move but I wouldn't hate Lamp at #4. I mean if you think he can be an all pro type guard, step in day 1 as a rookie and play well, wouldn't it make more sense to pick that guy instead of taking a lesser talent simply because theres nobody else?


Fournette I'm in two minds about. On one hand I can absolutely see him putting the fear of god into the defense, helping out Bortles and giving us a top class talent at running back for the first time since MJD. Buuuuut on the other hand I absolutely hate taking a running back #4 and think Fournette has lots of ??? as a player in the NFL and I'm not even sure he's the best in the class.

OJ Howard is a big question mark for me. He's a dynamic tight end and would add a different layer to our offense.


4 isn't too high for him based on talent, it's just high based on projected value because of the position he plays and where teams normally do start to draft those guys.


I won't be mad at all if we wind up taking him at 4, even if everyone tries to crap on the pick.


It comes down to who the first three guys off the board are, I guess.
