We need to protect our investment Pix I agree. IMO the interior OL is our biggest weakness. JCJ has fallen some down the boards which is good. I know we went to his pro day and he was at the senior bowl as well.
There are so many tackles in this draft. 7 - 1st round ones and 3-4 more second round ones. I don’t think Alt is head and shoulders above any of them. I’m not even sure Alt is the best tackle. Olu probably is. There’s no guarantee that either would be better than Brax.
I hear your point stingy. Our first pick needs to fill that massive hole at De with one of the top three DEs ideally with a trade down 7 spots collecting a second.
Denver and Minnesota if they fall in love with either of the 3 remaining qbs. Other than that, they will take who drops IMO. I don't see any team trading up for defense. Not in this draft. The first D player could be a cornerback around 12. Taking an edge without a short trade down is foolish. If anybody can find odds on the amount of offensive players drafted in the first round bet the over.
Were Definitely drafting a WR, OT, or Edge. Turner is more OLB in a 3-4 than a 4-3 DE. Latu and Verse are 43 de's. It's much more likely that there isn't a WR left at 9 than there is that one falls to us. It's more likely that zero tackles are off the board than any WR being left at 9. There are 4 teams ahead of us that need a wr.
Don't sleep on Latu. Medicals yes but he's healthy fir some time. Watch his hands and shedding ability. So superior in hand fighting to either top 3 de. Him and verse are old though.
Tyler Guyton has a 30 visit yesterday with Turner and CW. He’s the very first player that’s not mocked around any of our picks and could indicate a trade down
