What if we traded up to get Garrett

That'd be insanely stupid. We'd give up a whole lot for moving up.

I'm hoping Gettleman goes back to his philosophy. Fill immediate needs in free agency to set up BPA in the draft. This year, that'd mean OT and DE in free agency as well as a veteran CB and S. He has way more money to accomplish this than he did in previous years. This doesn't mean big splash signings (though he could make one if he wanted) but just more flexibility. The ability to go into the draft with the #8 pick and with no immediate needs would be so beneficial. We would be able to chose from 4-5 guys that can make an impact year one.

I fully expect us to get some sort of LT. That's no question. Whether it's depth or potential we're getting someone.

I also see him trying for a DE possibly. If he gets a S or DE that'd be ideal for the draft. If he fixes up both, call me on the Fournette bandwagon.

Hopefully some moves will be made.

Thanks for this.  I haven't even started thinking about / looking at draft prospects yet.  Probably won't until March..., want to see what we do in FA first.  But these are names I'll keep in mind.  Nice write up and you make a good case.

Another guy I like better than Adams is Malik Hooker. This could be a tough choice for us if Hooker comes out and both are available. Adams is a SS while Hooker is a FS, so not exactly the same position. I look at it like a choice between Earl Thomas or Kam Chancellor.

 

I honestly think Hooker is the best FS prospect in quite a while, better than Ramsey last year, IMO.

That may end up being why Adams is around at # 8. Adams is also a better fit for us because Coleman is a much better FS than SS.
