Voth: OL or TE?

Getting Pitts is the ultimate icing on the cake pick.  But we don't even have a cake baked yet. 

Until we fix the OL (and QB), Pitts would be wasted here and staying in to block half the time.  Granted, he could chip and be open 2 yards down the field exactly in Teddy's sweet-spot, but no thanks.

Trading back is a pipe dream.  The only reason someone will trade up (the other half of the "trade back" equation) is if there's a QB there.  If the QB is there, we take him.  If no QB on the board, the pick isn't going to hold the value.

Take the LT.  If you get to the point where your team is a QB away from winning it all, THEN you trade the farm to get your guy.

So the way it figures, 20 players will have already been drafted by the time we get to #8. 

 

Jokes aside, I could see us trade down if the QB's and Sewell are gone. I mean if we traded down to the 10-14 range we'd have our pick of guys like Slater, maybe Parsons, Farley, Horn, or Surtain, etc... Throw in you might see a guy like Pitts slip if the cards play out right and possibly another team would pay to get ahead of Philly or New England to grab him. If we don't land a QB, then we are essentially just building for our future QB. Aquire picks, build talent and prepare.

 

Also I'm a big fan of Dillon Radunz from NDST, watch him in the senior bowl, reminds me a lot of Terron Armstead. Perhaps we'd be lucky enough to land him in the 2nd.

TE is a luxury pick for this offense.  We aren’t good enough to be making luxury picks at 8.  Fix the OL

Pitts is unique though.  He is a legit offensive weapon.  And probably the 3rd best player in the draft if ranking them purely as BPA.  Which IMO is Trevor, Chase, Pitts.
