What if Fournett, Adams, ... are gone

What if Fournette, Adams, Allen, and Garrett are all off the board by the time we pick?  Depending on what happens with the QBs I could see this happening.

Who would everyone want then?  I see a lot of Adams or Fournette discussion but what is the backup plan if they aren't there? What if Hooker and Barnette are also gone, they seem to be two other popular picks around here?

There is no back up plan!  Haha, nah, I would consider drafting Desmond King.  Even if he is another rookie cornerback, he has great coverage skills and speed to go with his size.  Due to his size, he could also be a probowl type safety.  As for trading down, we never do that.  We trade up. (So don't rule out Garrett.  I wouldn't do it, but I could see if he fell to 3-4, Gettlemen pulling the trigger.)

1 Garrett, 2 Allen, 3 Adams, 4 Hooker, 5 Fournette, 6 Barnett, 7 Solomon Thomas, 8 Corey Davis, 9 Mike Williams

 

That's 9 prospects above we are guaranteed 2 of them and I'd be fine with any of them. 

However, IF this doomsday scenario happened and no QB was drafted in the top 7 before us....you can bet your bottom dollar we'd be getting lots of calls of teams wanting to trade up for Watson, Kizer, Tribusky, etc. 

Trade down would probably work in our favor and if we could still get Corey Davis I'd be ecstatic.

I'd look to trade down but knowing Gettleman... BPA would be Malik Mcdowell or Dalvin Cook.

That being said, it comes down to whether we want the top rated TE, OT, C/G, WR, LB vs 2-3rd rated Rb, Safety, DT, DE.... either way by the end of the draft, we should walk away with at minimum four "really good" players. Imo, its said every year, but this indeed is a very deep draft.

I don't see Thomas as a fit, he gets a lot of pressure from inside a la Kony Ealy in college

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
