First off, I'd like to say I hope we trade down but I don't see a player worth moving up for unless someone falls for a QB or a safety....so this is based off NO trade down at 2. I'm also going off of the CBS big board.
1st-Solomon Thomas DE- the 2nd best player in this draft period. He can line up all over that line and also be thrown out as a LEO when needed. People will poo poo on this, but we aren't at a point were we can pass on all-pro talent at any position. He's athletic as s**t and his combine/film can back it up...top five in bench, 20 yard shuttle, 3 cone, broad jump... things that show explosion and short area quickness (which is what you want in a pass rusher). AA hasn't earned anything yet (I'm still a supporter) but we have a new FO and competition is needed. I'll add we will be playing out of nickle a ton which makes Thomas even more special.
2nd- TRADE* everyone thinks we will be trading with the Jet's in the 1st BUT a QB like Kizer or Mahomes might drop to the 34th pick and they might want them. We get an extra 4th out of the deal
Tyus Bowser OLB-Here's are LEO/SAM of the future! I see him more of a SAM... he's an explosive and a quick-twitch athlete. He had a great Senior bowl and continued that theme into the combine. (IF he's not here I'm going with Budda Baker at FS)
TRADE* move back into the back end of the 2nd (give up our 3rd and the Jet's 4th)
Zay Jones WR-Most productive WR in college history? Sure I'll take that! His family is full of football players so there's a pedigree there. Runs amazing routes and has the size to make contested balls. He's not a bunner, but I see him as our Garcon of the future....He's a perfect fit for Shanny's offense.
4th- Sidney Jones-CB He's my favorite CB in this class, it's a damn shame that he torn his achilles, he will be red shirt this yr. People have been saying he's gonna drop to the 3rd day and if that's the case I'll take it. We have Brock for one more yr and RR and Jones as our future outside CBs?? I'll take that.
* really wanted to put my boy Nate "the great" Peterman here and CBS rankings has him there but I just don't see it happening.
4th (comp)- Marlon Mack RB- Here's our COP back, dude has wiggle and can change direction on a dime. He was very productive South Florida (3 yrs 1,000 yards) He's got that second gear/can catch the ball...he would be perfect for for kyle's ZBS.
5th-Justin Evans SS- He comes to hit...that said he doesn't have ideal size for SS now but can add a couple LBs to his big frame. I think he just get's lost in the shuffle and makes it to the 5th.
6th- Jessamen Dunker-OG He's athletic and has good length...this class overall is super weak across the board at OL, but nothing wrong with adding a little depth in the late rds.
6th-Stevie Tu'ikocovato NT-big fatty that can soak up blockers. We need some depth and he's good to go here.
7th- chad Kelly- LOL I don't see us going hard for any QB... while he does have talent he's a dummy BUT maybe Kyle can work some magic. 7th rd pick so who cares.
I still think Kirk will be the QB in 2018...if not we go hard for one of the top guys. Like all-in.
Okay there it is...this could all change once we get some more ideas on who we're are talking to and visiting.

for him...over all not bad I'm with u about trading down its a must IMO get more picks maybe see if we can trade back into tha 1st get 2 good players C.Davis and H.Reddick, M.Mack, N.Petermen them 4 would be a perfect draft IMO wouldn't care who else we got...
