But honestly I know you want to get value with your pick, but I'm about getting what our team needs more than making sure people give us good grades for value.
I would love to pair Sweat with Smith and find a way to resign Reader. Add that to Hill and we would have a deep and effective defensive interior that would be awesome at stopping the run and pushing the pocket into the QB's lap.
I feel this is the number one need of our team. I also want better offensive linemen and improved defensive backs. But this is number one. From what I've HEARD - and I admit I have watched no film - Sweat is immoveable, and Smith was a terror in the middle before his injury. Just seems like they would turn our defensive interior into a total asset, and that this would be a great year to get both a killer NT and 3T. If we can resign Reader we'd have amazing depth, and would prolong his career at the same time.
Everything else in the draft (BPA) would be gravy.
I get what you are saying but no I would not pass on bigger needs to take Sweat. Burrow has to be protected and having an offensive line that ranked 26th overall in the league is not getting it done in the passing or the run game. #1 has to be protecting the franchise.
