Okudah is the perfect Rhule draft pick

[Varking]

The kid is a great talent who works extremely hard to be the best every day at his position. He has been on record since his freshman year of college stating he wants to be the best DB in America. He put in the work through the years to make it there as well. And he isn't just an ultra talented kid, he is a kid with great character by all accounts. If the draft falls out way its both a position of need and likely the best available player that also 100% fits the mold of what Rhule wants to establish here without question.

If the #7 pick is anything other than OT or DT, something has gone horribly wrong.

Extremely unlikely a CB will be the pick imo.

[CRA]

would love this pick....but he will be gone by our pick unless he has a bad combine/offseason.

If top tier dL or ol talent is gone I have no problem with getting elite cb or wr. Take the elite player if elite player at need isn’t there.

So you are saying draft for need and not BPA?  Is round 1 of the draft the only way we can possibly meet our needs on the lines?

We have not signed Bradberry yet and Jackson tanked. 

It could be our biggest need if JB walks.

Jerry Jeudy or bust

If we draft a WR when a WR is legitimately one of our four best players, and we have no confirmed talent at OL, DL and CB, wow what a mistake.

I'm saying Brown and/or Thomas should be there at #7 and there should be no hesitation that either one of those 2 will be the pick.

I think if we cannot retain bradberry I'd be all for it. But I agree.

I get it---I want Brown (but would take Wirfs--my favorite tackle in the draft--or Thomas IF we know for certain that Little is a bust (we have not seen enough to know that--he has  missed too much to judge him on such a small body of work) --Hope we sign Bradberry.  To be honest, it is really pointless to debate who we are going to pick until later in March--after free agency.

Agreed. Even if he's not a bust, I don't think we have to be married to Little at LT. He can play other spots on the OL & Thomas would be a clear upgrade there.
