We are Drafting a Safety and DE pretty high..

[WOW!!]

All these older vet signings on defense is starting to paint the picture of them being brought here to easy the transition of younger players.. Maybe not in the 1st round but 2nd and 3rd will be defensive players who aren't ready to start right away but have alot of talent ..

Example: Obi 

[Devin]

Honestly it feels like we're setting up to take Howard at 8 

[TNPanther]

If Fournette gets taken before 8 I have a feeling we'll double-dip from Tennessee with Barnett in the first and Kamara in the second...but that's just a pipe dream of mine.

They have Delanie Walker

[Saca312]

Jamal Adams is about as likely as ever at number 1.

But Gman setting us up for BPA right now. I like.

[Wundrbread33]

They have Delanie Walker

We have Olsen.

It's about grooming the next guy man!

If your basing off FA , it's gonna be offense for first 3 picks

 

DE &S coming in the lower rounds

Maybe a WR or a RB in the 3rd..

But i see these guys working with a guy like OBi and a DE like Carl Lawson.. For one season than retiring.. GMan is always working in the present while keeping the future in mind.

Don't disagree, but I don't think we go S in the first.  My guess is Solomon Thomas, OJ Howard, LF is the order of preference in Rd 1.

I like Adams and Hooker a lot, but historically Gettleman hasn't been willing to allocate big dollars and draft picks to S. And we just got outbid on several safeties.  I take that to mean his strategic view on the position has not changed (though maybe they just really like the draft class).

There are some intriguing S options in round 2/3, including Budda Baker and Jabril Peppers.

My guess is that Howard ends up being the pick in the first.  I think the base offense is moving away from shotgun/zone-read towards 2TE sets with a more traditional run game.  Howard enables us to make that transition.  He's an excellent blocker, which frees up Olsen to run routes - and he's a good pass catcher in his own right.  The beauty of 2TE base personnel is we can effectively run from heavy sets or pass with 4 receivers with the same grouping.  Forces defenses to play more base D and makes us less predictable.  Also gives out weak OTs consistent help in pass pro.

But even if we draft Howard early, I agree that a DE and S are not far behind.

Peppers in rd 1
