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

    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing. 
    • Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
