What if Fournett, Adams, ... are gone

[AU-panther]

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?

Cam Robinson or Mike Williams, Ruben foster would be top choice and an excellent pick too. But if they're all gone (including Foster) then I'd say big Cam Robinson or Mike Williams.

Dalvin Cook...i think he is a better fit for this offense that even Fournett

[Saca312]

Trade down if Barnett and Hooker are off as well.

I'm warming to Cook. In this scenario (Fournette, Garrett, Adams, Hooker all gone) I'd be ok with Cook.

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.)

I'd think about Barnett or Solomon Thomas. But hopefully trade back a few picks.

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.

@Growl already covered this. It's not a hypothetical. All of these players, and more, WILL be gone by pick #8.

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 Fournette and Adams are gone, we pick either Hooker, Barnett, or Thomas.
