If one of our top pass rushers isn't there at 9 who is worth that high of a pick, we go "receiver."
So, that could mean Solomon Thomas, the most likely pass rusher to be there?
He didn't specify WR or TE, but we might assume WR. In my mind, that's Ross or Davis.
Doesn't Lap have some kind of record of being good at predicting our picks?
Lap is pretty good. He nailed Zeitler and Eifert early on in the draft process in 2012 and 2013. He went with Roby in 2014, but he said he didn't think Dennard would be there. On draft day in 2015, he told everyone to keep an eye on Cedric Ogbuehi. He was high on a WR last year. He did mention Fuller, and then I read not long ago that our attempted trade up with Texans was for Fuller last year.
The key is Lap and Hoard are allowed in the war room a couple of days before the draft. So he doesn't come out and say that we're taking this guy or that guy, but we need to keep an eye on a couple of names.
You can always trust an dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to look out for.
