Playing GM for a day

That being said, I'm really hoping that the best player on the board falls in one of the following spots:

LB - The only missing piece to this defense is a young, athletic guy that can do it all - blitz, cover and hit. I like Deion Jones from LSU - would love it if he's available in the 3rd - but I'd take him in the 2nd if I had to.
DT - I don't want another Geno type, give me a big, fat pig that nobody can move off the line.  Jarran Reed or Kenny Clark should be there and would fit the bill.  But I'd take Jonathan Allan first.
WR - Less of a need, but if any of our guys go down, we don't really have a great backup. This will depend on what's available, but I can't see us taking one in the first two picks
RB - Laugh all you want, but if Derrick Henry or Elliot were there, I'm pulling the trigger. I'm not laughing.  I love both of these guys and they can both block like a boss.  We won't though.  And Hill has the potential to get past his sophomore slump.  Gio did.
CB - Can never have enough of these guys.  True story.  We are likely to lose both Jones and Hall.  Though Lewis-Harris played well at the end of the year.

For me - other than the best player available - LB and DT are the biggest needs.  I like both Reed and Clark.  But if Allan is there I like him more because he can play very effectively inside or outside.  He is good against the run and the pass.  And there will be some other big bodies later in the draft.
