Who you got?

My big board for #49:

1. Tate Ratledge, OG Georgia
2. Jonah Savaiinaea, OG Arizona
3. TJ Sanders DT, South Carolina
4. Xavier Watts S, Notre Dame
5. Nick Emmanwori S, South Carolina
6. Kevin Winston Jr. S, Penn State
7. Trey Amos CB, Ole Miss
8. Will Johnson CB, Michigan
9. Omarr Norman Lott DT, Tennessee
10. Shavon Revel CB, East Carolina
11. Carson Schwesinger LB, UCLA
12. Wyatt Milum OG, West Virginia
13. Jared Wilson OG/OC, Georgia
14. Mike Green Edge, Marshall
15. Donovan Ezeiruaku Edge, Boston College
16. Nic Scourton Edge, Texas A&M
17. Bradyn Swinson Edge, LSU
18. Princely Umanmielen Edge, Ole Miss

I know I listed a lot of DEs at the end there, and that's because, frustratingly, the position we selected in the first round was one that there is still a lot of talent at in the 2nd round. Imagine if we had drafted someone like Derrick Harmon, or Malaki Starks, we could have had a healthy set of options at edge in the 2nd round. Hopefully, a bunch of them are taken in front of us, allowing other players to drop to our 2nd round pick.

Emmanwori
Ezeiruaku
Mike Green
Watts
Aireontae Ersery
Wyatt Milum
Oluwafemi Oladejo
Shemar Turner
JT Tuimoloau
Nic Scourton
Mason Taylor
Josaiah Stewart
Tate Ratledge

8 Offensive Linemen were draft in round 1. Offensive Guard should be a priority at #49.

In the second, I would be looking at...

Emmanwori
Watts
Mason Taylor
Ezeiruaku
Ersery
Scourton
Johnson
Savaiinaea
Wilson
Kaleb Johnson

Some of the guys I am looking at today...

Ersery
Ratledge
Emmanwori
Savaiinaea
Watts
Henderson RB OSU
Skattebo RB ASU
Darius Alexander
Omarr-Norman-Lott
Ezeirauku
Mason Taylor TE

id like to see Golden reunited with 4. Xavier Watts S, Notre Dame

I spy Ratledge, Milum, (maybe Ersery or Jared Wilson). Dunno if one of them will be there, especially after a trade down scenario.

Other: TJSanders, Emmanwori, WJohnson, Revel, AThomas, Amos, Schwesinger.

Some nice Edges and WRs are there, I just don't think we'll be interested.

I have seen mocks with Ratledge falling to us in the third (or us trading up to the late second round), but I don't know if I want to risk him getting taken before we pick in the third because protecting Burrow should be our top priority, even over defense IMCO.

We do need defensive backs, especially safety, but I don't know if I'm impressed enough with one to spend a pick on.
