Who Would The Current Staff Draft if We Still Had the #1 Overall Pick? Who Would You Draft?

[Hoenheim]

This thought randomly popped up in my mind. If we still somehow had our original first round pick who would you Draft and who do you think this current staff would Draft? And why?

I believe we would most likely trade down a few spots to a team that wanted Caleb Williams.  Ideally  trade 1 spot at a time to maximize our draft stock...trade to 2...then 3.  Stop at 3 to ensure we got Harrison and enjoy the extra 4-5 picks we gained.

If Tepper was involved we would likely trade down to 12th for a third round pick and Jerry Jeudy....but let's not give us all nightmares....

yeah, trade back for more picks and try to rebuild this team right.

This would mean we didnt trade up for Young, so we would have to get a QB.

We’d try to get a WR and OL in round 1 if possible.

Would also mean we wouldn't get a QB because Sam Darnold and DJ Moore there is no way we have the #1 pick.

 

Darnold would have been a upgrade over Bryce rookie year.

Honestly, even if we still had the #1 and also made the Young trade, Id still take a QB and trade Young for anything.

This forum of all places would be Drake Maye fuging city right now. No rhyme or reason.

I posted this before even looking at any other comment and holy poo was I right.

All I know is last year was a terrible year to trade up to #1

Pull a Chicago special. Trade it for a butt load of picks and build your team. If the trend continues we will be right back here in 2025. Rince and repeat if necessary until you get it right.

Assuming we have Bryce, trade down to 3 and get Harrison

No Bryce. Draft Drake Maye, Williams is worrisome to me. To many red flags
