I would like to see us pick up Ebron (the tight end from unc). He is a big target with speed and great hands. He is also a good blocker. It would give us another big target for Cam and an instant upgrade a the tight end position. I see the biggest need is the O-line, but a TE would also address our needs if

the best WRs are gone.

I'd rather keep Gross at LT while he's still playing so well, plus his entire career has been at LT, there's no guaranteed he would, or even could effectively move to the right side.

I'm not saying pass on OT, but RT is the far bigger need.

 

You might be right.  The more I think about it, it does make sense to keep Gross on the left side.  If we draft a guy like James Hurst, have him play RT and ease him in to the league, like we did with Gross.

I've been thinking the same thing. If we're picking in the 20+ range I think we'll be very limited on our choices at WR or OT, so the best alternative is to grab a TE, specifically Eric Ebron who I have my eye on. I could also see us go CB if the bpa value is there combined with most of the top OT and WR targets off the board. The OT I have my eye on that could be there in the 20's is Antonio Richardson, think he'll end up being the best OT of this class a few years down the road.

 

Lucky for us this draft is stacked at OT, WR, CB and top level TE's.

What? There's going to be potential stars at all of those positions in the 20s. Guys like Antonio Richardson, Jordan Matthews, Moncrief, Cyril Richardson, and Cedric Ogbuehi could all be there. Plus, guys like Hurst could slip in the draft to that area.

Antonio Richardson is who I think we'll be able to grab and I think Cyril Richardson would be best suited at guard which isn't as major of a need. Would like Ogbuehi, but I think he's staying for another year. Honestly I feel there's a decent drop off between Evans and Watkins who I think are future all-stars, especially Evans, and guys like Moncrief and Coleman who I think have potential but not as clear cut as Evans or Watkins. I like Matthews, but I think he's going to be a #35-45 type player taken.

 

It's still way to early to project unfortunately, but my guess is Moncrief will be the 3rd WR taken and you'll see a fall for Marqise Lee. In terms of potential players available wherever we pick, I'd be happy with Richardson, Ebron, Moncrief or Hurst in that order.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
