If all goes to plan, I'd fill the QB, LT, CB and hopefully DE/DT positions with our first 5 picks. I'd just have to wait and see who was available at those picks and if a big time play maker at another position falls to us. The OT position is loaded. I have several guys that I believe will be significant upgrades over Robinson, so I'm not really stressing on that. I also see a lot of defensive linemen I like, both at DE/DT and DE/OLB. There aren't a lot of elite CB's in this class though, so I'd probably select one of them in the first 33 picks to make sure we get a good one, but if my top guys are gone by then, I'm not gonna force it. I know we're not gonna be able to fill every need we have in one year. I hope the team is very choosy about who they select. We need a lot of new starters. We cannot afford to reach. We reached for needs last year and it backfired.

An OT should be selected at either pick 25, or 33. Would be a mistake to not grab one with one of those picks. Defense should be the selection with whichever one isn't used to grab an OT.

If they want to add another WR via the draft, it should be done with pick 45, or 65. The 2nd and 3rd rounds has provided some of the best bang for your buck WR wise for multiple years now. I don't see why that trend would stop this draft. You can go back and look at the recent drafts in the past handful of years and there's been a good number of hits at WR in those two rounds. Of course there's some misses, but there's far more hits. It's definitely the sweet spot for WRs. Obviously if we snag somebody in FA at WR it changes some things, so we can use either pick 45 or 65 somewhere else, ideally on Defense.

Ideally TE and Safety will be addressed in FA and they wont have to reach/settle for somebody early to fill a need at those positions via the draft. It'll also give us a little freedom to play the draft board as far as CB/DL/LB go.
