D Line in first round?

[ATLpanther]

Doubtful that Thibodeaux or Hutchinson will fall to us at 6 but what about trading back and taking Jordan Reed? Guy is a monster at stopping the run and a freak athlete. If we fix OL in FA id rather pick up Minshew or ride with Darnold than take a 5%ish chance on hitting on a QB in the draft. Thoughts?

I have seen more than one mock that has one of the top two pass rushers dropping to us. All it takes is for someone in the top 5 to throw a curveball(Lions taking a QB, for instance) and the board may shift enough for that to happen.

poo, at this point, who knows?

Dline is closer than people think.  The FA pick up, Nixon, Roy, Brown along with YTG and Burns on the edge is solid. Taking a defensive end (no matter how talented) or a equally talented unicorn safety is excessive.

Positional value is very high for an elite pass rusher so, I don't agree with you there. Safety is different. I like Hamilton but it makes zero sense for us to take a player like at 6 that with the needs we have.

get the damn Notre Dame safety

They setting themselves up to take Pickett or Willis in the draft. Most likely Pickett

Can’t ever have enough elite pass rushers. It would be different if it were a great QB class. But what do I know, Russell Wilson got taken in the 3rd round…I just know the odds of them hitting are terrible

Defense wins championship, so yes please if we get one if the top fa Lts.

Going to be Kyle Hamilton if it's a defender IMO. Doubt we go anywhere besides Pickett or an OT, though. 

Thinking OP also meant Jordan Davis, not Jordan Reed. Freak athlete, but unless he keeps his weight down, he's not playing more than 25-30 snaps a game. Not worth our pick.

Correct, I meant Jordan Davis. Great point though. He’d have to keep his weight down.

This Pickett nonsense makes me sick. He isn't qb1. The pick isn't Pickett at 6. Willis is ahead of Pickett according to everyone who saw them at the senior bowl and combine..
