I like Foskey there at 24 over these other options. As much as I like McDonald. I still feel like he's a day two pick. Foskey showed a little more consistency over the last two years as well. Just think there's some merit there with him.

Agrees on Foskey.  I think he is the most ready edge rusher that could have a nice impact his rookie year with also a high ceiling.  Not sure if he makes it to 24 but it would be nice if he does

If the draft were tomorrow, I'd hope that either Broderick Jones or Brian Branch would be the pick. I feel they offer the most beginning on day 1 with the potential to become pro-bowl players. I'd wait on the pass rusher until round 2 since I expect a good one to be available. Uzomah, Hall, Keion White and Ojulari all have the possibility of being there in round 2. It wouldn't even be totally inconceivable for Will McDonald or Foskey to fall to the Jaguars in round 2. If they love either player, they could always trade up beginning midway through round 2 and only part with a 4th rounder. That being said, I'd still do my due diligence on Murphy in case he does drop to 24. His physical traits are elite, but the Andre Branch comparison is a scary one!

No matter what we do in FA with the guys that's left shouldn't change what we do in the draft regardless imo.  The guys that's left in FA are older vets.  If we sign Justin Houston or Melvin Ingram in FA that shouldnt stop us from drafting a pass rusher at 24 if one is at the top of our board.
