I voted WR simply because I think it's likely that the top OTs are gone and there will be better value available at WR.  Guys I'd have no problem with at #28 who might actually be on the board include:

 

Brandin Cooks

Jordan Matthews

Kelvin Benjamin

Allen Robinson

 

Probably in that order.

This. Minus Kelvin Benjamin and adding Lee because it appears he might be there.

I'm just admittedly jaded by USC WRs.  The guy looks like the real deal, but so have several before him who didn't work out.  A USC WR who was widely touted as a top 10 pick who starts sliding and all of a sudden looks likely to be a late 1st round or 2nd round pick?  Yeah, we've seen that story play itself out before.  Right here in Charlotte.  Twice.

I want BPA regardless of position (excluding positions where we are set for years to come...MLB and QB for example). I think that we all, myself included, get caught up in positional needs when we should really just be looking for the best football player.

 

Normally I'd agree, but we just have such glaring holes at OT and WR that need has to take a bit of precedence at those positions.  Now obviously you're not going to draft a huge reach if there's a clearly better talent available, but given fairly closely ranked prospects, I would hope we'd hedge toward need.  Plus, with the WR depth in this class, I just can't see all the worthy guys being gone by #28 and I wouldn't want to risk waiting until the 2nd because I have a sneaking suspicion that there's going to be a big run on WRs in the 2nd round.  If we don't jump on one in the first, I fear that we'll be sadly disappointed by the available options at #60.

either LT or WR or top pass catching TE.

 

i eant us to double dip  OT and WR and pick up another CB.

 

I'd love to see a double dip at both OT and WR.  I think the depth in the class is definitely there at both positions to do it if we chose to do so.  Definitely at WR.  I think we're really fuging up if we don't end up with two WRs out of this draft.  This has a chance to be the strongest WR draft since '96 (Keyshawn Johnson, Terry Glenn, Marvin Harrison, Eric Moulds, Armani Toomer, Moose, T.O., Joe Horn).

I would say OL here, but unless Lewan freefalls, I'd say the value one would get @28 from a WR would be greater than you would get with a tackle that far down. 

 

Yep, Lewan is the one OT that I'd jump on in a heartbeat at #28.  Maybe Martin, but I just haven't seen enough ND football to form a legit opinion.  I know some are concerned about his size and arm length, but he's a near clone of Jordan Gross physically and I think we can all agree that #69 played pretty well for us.

    • OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.

    • Correction, meant to say Seattle had a limited passing attack in the SB.  Darnold did do enough to win.
