This draft is done under the assumption that we sign at least 1 of Whit or Zeitler. My gut says we resign Whit to a 2 year deal and let Westerman take over the starting guard position from Zeitler. Boling should be 100% healthy and we still have Hopkins on the team. I also believe we will trade McCarron for a 2nd and a 4th rounder as some team will be in desperate need of a QB and this class isn't the greatest and with these 2 picks we can draft a guard and whatever other position they feel they need depth at. I also believe we will make a run at resigning Lafell and possibly Kirkpatrick.
9: R1P9 LB REUBEN FOSTER ALABAMA
- Instantly upgrades our LB position. Starters are now Burfict, Foster, and Vigil with Dawson, Beckwith, and Vinnie being the primary backups.
41: R2P9 EDGE TACO CHARLTON MICHIGAN
- Gives us a good pass rusher outside of Dunlap. Probably won't start over MJ even though he should, but he could rotate in with Marcus Hardison to give us 2 young pass rushers.
73: R3P9 C ETHAN POCIC LSU
- Comes in and competes at C hopefully knocking Bodine to a backup interior role where he may be better suited to play G.
114: R4P9 OT ERIK MAGNUSON MICHIGAN
- Tackle depth and someone who could supplant Ced or Fisher if they do not take grasp of the starter role.
137: R4P32 WR COOPER KUPP EASTERN WASHINGTON
- WR wasn't high on my needs list with this team due to having AJ along with drafting both Boyd and Core who were able to produce and should get better.
144: R4P39 LB KENDELL BECKWITH LSU
- Added depth to our poor LB unit, could come in and start in the event of an injury or poor play.
154: R5P9 CB DAMONTAE KAZEE SAN DIEGO ST.
- Right now we have 4 CB's signed on the roster. I believe the starters will be WJ3 and Shaw on the outside with Dennard in the slot and Russel being the primary backup. Kazee gives us a tough albeit undersized CB to come off of the bench. I think we cut Jones and try to resign either Kirk or another FA. If we resign Kirk then he is implanted as a starter opposite WJ3.
194: R6P9 EDGE DYLAN COLE MISSOURI ST.
- Another athletic pass rusher. Probably doesn't see much time unless he blows away the coaches in camp and pre-season.
218: R6P33 S TONY CONNER MISSISSIPPI
- Depth to come in and compete for a roster spot. Most likely ST if he makes it.
221: R6P36 DL JOSH AUGUSTA MISSOURI
- Depth to come in and compete for a backup spot. Probably a practice squad player.
230: R7P9 QB GUNNER KIEL CINCINNATI
- Has the physical tools, needs to learn to make better decisions. Makes trading McCarron a little easier to deal with.
