What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

I don’t mind missing Edge on rd1 since this draft is pretty deep.

I had similar thoughts on this recently. Maximizing talent on the team overall given the salary cap means having to replace expensive talent with new talent at a much lower cap number, even if there may be a downgrade in that position group. Take our O-line, for example. We had to spend the money to lift it from the bottom of the barrel but if we want to improve in other areas and pay some players their new contracts, we need to draft their replacements now. A small slip in performance is likely worth 20 million/year in savings and if your new guys are even better than the old ones, you're in really good shape

Round 1 has to be an impact player, You dont draft an LT to sit behind Walker, same with CB, not drafting to sit behind Horn and Jackson.   No center in the 1st available, Carolina traded up to get XL, their not going to rule him out yet so they are stacked at WR, Unless a top10 LB, S, Edge falls, they wont be the pick,  that leaves TE and DL.  Its between Kenyon Sadiq and Peter Woods

With our free agent signings we set ourselves up pretty good for bpa. I’d prob lean def.
