Assuming we take Wilson in the 1st, who are your top 2nd and 3rd round targets?

There are a lot of good looking offensive tackles in the draft. I think there would be a good market to get one of the top tackles or an ILB In the second. I think it’s time to stop thinking BPA and assess our needs based off of what we know we’re lacking in whether it be based off contracts (OL) or ability (secondary). 

Pretty sure this is an overall weak class for tackles.  Last year was the haleys comet for franchise tackles

2nd

Christian Darrisaw LT

Dylan Moses ILB

 

3rd

Asante Samuel CB

Trey Smith OG

Talanoa Hufanga S

If we go Wilson then we should probably address the o-line in the draft. You can find great G's in rounds 3 and 4.

2020 draft  - all defense.

2021 draft - QB and o-line.

We can find S/CBs in free agency. Teams do not let good/great o-line go. 

Round 1 - Zach Wilson.

Round 2 - Deonte Brown G, Alabama.

Round 3 - Marvin Wilson DT, Florida State.

I love Marvin Wilson, I don’t think he’ll last until the 3rd, he’d have to be our 2nd round pick.  Derrick Brown and Marvin Wilson is scary.

BPA works well if you are balancing it with need, either now or in the next year or so (contract and cap consideration).  If we can find a way to resign Samuel, we can definitely strike WR from that list.  I think we are comfortable at three of our four DL positions, with a DT open.  Good at RB.  That leaves the rest. 

I think we need a LB somewhere, but I am not in a rush to push Shaq out the door this year.  Whitehead's contract turns into a pumpkin after this season (and he turned into a pumpkin on the field a long time ago), so he should be "one and done."

Sewell is the class of this year's tackles, but there are a lot of round 2-4 OL of all flavors that people like to one degree or another.

As for the secondary, it is not unusual for young DBs to take a year or two to develop.  They have just seen more receivers that are faster and better route runners than anything they have seen before.  So, while I am not sold on what we have (and another safety would be good), I am not ready to throw in the towel yet, either.  If somehow a shutdown corner appears, great.   Short of that, those positions should not be competing with building a good, young OL this year.

It is. Absolutely no clue what people are talking about.  Sucks for LB too which is a bummer. Good news is the second round is prime for a DB should be good choices. After that OG. I do think there is a lot of interesting WRs which will be important later on if we want to keep the talent flowing without having to resign Samuel (would rather have Moore/Anderson).

Of course this all will drastically change with interviews, pro days and workouts.

WR, eh? 

Should've known you'd come running when you heard that, dawg!

 

It's certainly pretty low on our list of needs in theory, but if there's a WR there that's clearly BPA you should definitely consider it. Robby has 1 year left on his deal and if he has another season like this he'll likely earn a significant pay raise. With Rhule though he does seem like the type of guy who may stick around here on a team friendly deal, but who knows. Samuel could be gone this FA (though my guess is we keep him) and if so a rookie could replace him really well behind DJ/Robby.

With how strong the position is already, it wouldn't be ideal but it also wouldn't necessarily be a bad longer term move, as long as it's a better player than the Funchess' and LaFell's of the world...

hell no. our OL is decent. 

our CM and LB corps is trash

What is CM?

[micnificent28]

Bit of  luxury pick here. But I really like Harris the rb from Alabama. He's a stud. No idea what form cmc is returning in and running them both would be good for both.

[bobcat91]

OT, OG, C, CB, LB.

I don’t know much about the tackles but I don’t want a repeat of Little. People get so hung up on LT is truly ridiculous sometimes. We went to the SB with Gross and we also went to a SB with Oher. Oher worked out because we had Norwell, Kalil and Turner anchoring the middle. We should have gone IOL in 2019 and Hurney fuged that up royally as while I am happy with Brown, we had a perfect chance to get another T last year. Water under the bridge but if you have the pick of the litter at G at 38, I’d rather do that than reach again for a T who isn’t as good as the 2022 class (no idea, just spit balling). Last year’s draft was promising and as long as we don’t fug up our draft slot we'll have 2 really good day 2 picks that we need to hit on if we get a Wilson/Fields/Lance in round 1.

Grabbing him in the 2nd will allow us to have an absolute dog in the backfield with CMC split out or motioned back into the backfield.

I’m not sure how deep the class is, but there are about 5 OTs that could be in in the mix for our second round pick.

Sure there are and they probably will hopefully be able to contribute down the line however none are the rock solid plug them in and forget about the tackle position for 10 years that Becton, Wills or Wirfs are.   I still agree though that its imperative to add line help with a mass influx of draftees.   Like I said last year was the haleys comet for tackles and we picked brown.

If Asante Samuel Jr is somehow hanging around we need to sprint to the podium
