Non-OTs or WRs we could target in the 1st

Outside of the obvious two Safeties, another guy I think we could look at is Arik Armstead if we truly have no intention of bringing Hardy back.  NFL.com lists him as a DT, but I think he could get leaner and play DE for us.  6'8 290 is what he's listed at now, think I read somewhere he was playing in college at 285.  I think he's being talked about as a potential first round guy, could be there when we pick and seems he'd be versatile enough to fill part of Hardy's roles (run stopper, could offer some pass rush, move inside on passing downs).  If we're looking at a DL in the first, I hope it's this guy.  I don't buy that we need another DT right now, not a 1st round pick on one anyway.  A big DE that has the tools to dominate?  Yes please.

CB: If Jalen Collins falls, yes please.  Quentin Rollins could be a reach but a possibility. 

 

SS: Shaq Thompson, yes please.  Seems to be a dropoff after Landon and Shaq at SS.   

 

There's also a sleeper for us at OLB that would fit perfectly with TD and Luke ---that's Paul Dawson

 

Armstead seems like a guy Arians would go after for his defense, I wouldn't be mad though.  I don't know about their 1st round value but Carl Davis and Xavier Cooper at DT would be some guys to take note of that could fill D'wan's role.

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
