What if Adams, Fournette, and Thomas are all there at 8? Who is the pick?

What do you think?

Thomas seems like the surest bet as the #2 DE in the draft dropped to 8 you'd have to take him right? Seems very intelligent, really high motor. This would be my choice, the stars just seem to align for getting a really good DE prospect and having Peppers come back, and us having DE veterans galore. 

But Fournette fits almost exactly what the team is looking for in a young power RB to groom behind Stewart and take Pressure of Cam. I'm personally a little dubious of Fournette because he's not very shifty and I don't know if his power game translates to the NFL. I'd be cautiously hopeful if Fournette was the pick. 

However Adams could end up being our very own Eric Berry , in an ideal senario with a DB coach as D-Cordinator now , with another seasoned Adams to mentor him. 

Or do you think something else might happen?

Scary thing is that I think a scenario like this may happen. QBs are going higher than people anticipate there will be trades to grab these guys with Jets, Bills, Browns, Cardinals all wanting one. I trust Gettleman will make the right choice for the franchise because they are all fantastic players. I would say Adams if he's there is the guy. You can still get a good RB and Pass Rusher in round 2. Your not getting a guy like Adams outside the top 10. Fournette would be my second choice. Thomas just does t seem like a Gettleman DE. Gettleman likes big freaks like Taco.

Trading down to get a guy like O.J, or one of the really good RBs would be great for our struggling offense. And we can use extra picks to fill the hole at WR, and add depth at LB and OT. Luke and Oher could be concussed again and we need to have better talent behind them. Should be an amazing draft with such high picks and teams looking to trade up for QBs. So sweet.

      And those targets are mostly going to TMac, who will be a part of the FUTURE of the team. Did it remove the most reliable WR and Bryce's safety blanket? Absolutely. But it's also allowing him to build better chemistry with TMac, Stephens, Horn, Evans, etc. I am pumped to see Coker back and hopefully they can reignite that connection.

      It's the same thing that made Bryce the #1 overall pick. I've never seen such mass delusion about a football player before. Everyone convinced themselves that the fact that Bryce was below to severely below average in practically every physical attribute for an NFL QB just wouldn't matter because he has everything else you need and that'll more than make up for it. When has such an argument ever been made for an NFL prospect before? We watch prospects plummet every year because they run a couple tenths slower in the 40 time than expected. Smitty had everything you want in a receiver except he was 5'9" so he goes in the 3rd round. That's the way these things generally go. If you check a lot of boxes but leave some key ones unchecked you're not an elite prospect. With Bryce though, the physically limitations were always obvious so it gave more time to be able to build that into the equation and come up with reasons for why he'd be able to overcome it. Now we have all these same shortcomings having shone brightly on the NFL field and we STILL have people trying to convince themselves he'll be able to overcome it while ignoring that our past two wins and his improved play have come while riding the back of RB putting up GOAT RB production over the past two weeks. What changed wasn't Bryce. What changed is that Rico is playing out of his damn mind. Pretty much every NFL roster caliber QB can shine if he can get 200+ yards out of the RB behind him.
