How I look at the roster:

We need a starting S to play with Bryant. I would say maybe draft two. There are 5 that I judge are scheme friendly; Theinaman -Scott-Kilgore-Stukes-Clark. Several that could be starter quality Mc-Warren-Haulcy-Ramsey- Wheatley

Edge rusher, we didn't add anyone here. I think Booker takes a step forward. Dayo comes back.

Faulk)scheme fit but no production

Parker) could be the pick

Messidor) old but very productive

Young) could be the pick

Lawrence) sleeper bear pick

Jacas) my favorite

Moore) middle round pick

Dennis-Sutton) very possible middle round pick

Max Llewellyn) later round pick

DT) McDonald) not a scheme fit IMO

Woods) scheme fit but not a fan

Miller) possible fit

Halton) could be the guy

Capehart) a low profile maybe

Proctor) sleeper pick 8 Sacks 2025

Benny) scheme fit

Durant) scheme fit

These are the 3 biggest needs in my opinion. The 3 first picks go here IMO

Of course they could draft a LT, LB, CB, WR, RB or C.

What say you

I always look trenches first and move outward. 1st rd - I take the best pass rusher at edge, 3t and/or 1t. If I don't see difference maker there, I look to see if Safety is BPA.

Continue this process through 4 rounds. Order of importance, for me, is DL, S, EDGE, LB and OL.

My preferred approach as well except I’d be ok if BPA is a CB

What I want to come out of the draft with and where I think we could get it:

• Starting-caliber DE - 1st to 2nd round, maybe third if you trade up/down to the beginning of the round and someone is sliding (Derrick Moore?).

• Starting Safety - 1st to 3rd round, maybe fourth if you trade up/down to the beginning of the round and someone is dropping (Bud Clark?).

• Guy would could push right away to start at #2 CB - 1st to 3rd round

• Center that could conceivably start next year and/or push Bradbury this year if he struggles - 2nd to 5th round, unless they see Newman as the future at C in which case you maybe need a backup guard in that same range

• WR who dresses and could start in a 3WR set if needed - 2nd to 5th round

After that I don't much care.

• DT makes sense if you think there is a difference maker in the 1st/2nd, but much after that I'd just as soon play the three guys they signed, plus snaps for Shemar Turner there to go with Grady Jackson and Gervon Dexter returning. That seems to me like a solid, if potentially unspectacular, DT group, which is fine doing into a draft that's pretty unspectacular at DT IMO (which I theorize is precisely why they signed those DTs in free agency).

• OT - I've resigned myself to the fact that OT is a real first round possibility and I'm (grudgingly) OK with it, though I'd still be pretty surprised if it happens. Maybe you take a mid round guy with a lot of LT experience (Markel Bell, Jude Bowry, JC Davis, etc.) to give you one more crack at a LT, but you currently have Jones, Willis, Benedet, and Kiran (I still believe!) to battle for the LT position and you probably aren't going to do much better than that this year outside of the first round (I think that's why they signed Jones and Willis but we shall see).

• LB depth would be nice if you love a guy (I can't help but think Kyle Louis could be a target) but I'm pretty much good with the depth there.

• RB - If you like one and see it as a value pick, great, if not, I'm OK with what we have for now.

• TE - Same as RB.
