So what is your draft strategy after today?

[CarolinaLivin]

There was never a move in FA that was going to change my mind. 

DL please. Graham is still my dream pick, but no move in FA was going to make me not want to address DL.

BPA with a dramatic preference to trading down.

Hasn't changed at all due to any of the signings.

[Billy Goat]

I think i would still go Graham if he's there, second preference being the top WR and after that trade down. Im not convinced by any of the pass rushers (the ones that will be left on the board) to be drafting them at 8.

Edge/Graham

Itll be Graham/Williams/Walker at 8

Or trade back. Seeing what some of these god awful tackles got yesterday and Houston trading away Tunsil. New England has to go Campbell at 4? Houston might want to come up 

Our edge room is still non existent. Our WR/TE rooms both need a true 1. This team just spent a crap load of money yesterday on guys you should be able to find in later rounds of the draft

You never trade back in drafts. Never. Dumbest poo in the world. Grow some balls and pick your guy.

If TE Warren is there at 8th, take him. Just get a CB and a DE/OLB in the next 2 rounds. They did good enough on defense with FA signing to have flexibility. Still hope they sign Kupp or someone reliable like him. 

[BeenPounding]

Trade back.  Millum gives me some better BC vibes.  I could see him as a right tackle.  The knock on him is 32" arms vs the standard 33".

[Jay Roosevelt]

Hasn't changed. Likely EDGE in the 1st (unless Mason Graham falls, then you still take him and figure it out) and LB/WR/DB or another EDGE in the 2nd/3rd. I still say a trade down to the teens is our best bet.

[CPcavedweller]

Defensive line class is strong. I say take Tyler Warren, in keeping with the BPA policy early in the draft, triple down on defense, then take Skattebo in the 4th if he's there.

I'm not as familiar with the defensive players in this draft as in years past but I know that Warren will be a dude. Skattebo just has an unbelievable motor that would be fun to watch behind this offensive line.

Tyler Warren would be BPA at that spot, I do believe. 

[PanthersNCSU]

I think the FA moves set us up to go Walker (or even offense). But to me the dream is still...

1. Graham 

2. Walker 

3. Edge TBD

4. Darkhorse - Will Campbell (if there) or Warren to the chagrin of many 

 

A trade down to get a better 2nd round pick would be great, but feel like we're going to need a weird draft for that to happen. I do think that Dart is coming off the board way earlier than anticipated, but 8 is a stretch. Even Omarion Hampton could be a sneaky top end of the 1st guy IMO. If Jeanty goes to the Raiders for instance, the Cowboys or Broncos might come calling to us for Hampton.

BPA.

Taking any potential options off the board is the dumbest poo in the world. Sometimes you're on the clock and don't see great value on the board and if the phone is ringing with offers that you see more value in than the talent available then you're crazy to just pick a player because that what we do here in this organization!
