Draft position, who can we realistically draft at pick 7?

No way we end up in top 7.

One step at a time, but we really need to see what we have unless the Higgins and Boyd decisions have already been made.  The run defense really showed up against Jax.  Murphy seems to be an established rotational piece who plays better on the left.  OTOH the rest of the non-starters continue to be liabilities expect for Ossai who's clearly so deep in the doghouse that he doesn't get snaps.  Our two LBs are having an off year, and Davis Gaither has been atrocious when he has seen the field.
So what does BPA look like?  A bit of a reach at OT, unlikely a DL will drop, depth on both sides of the interior needed, possible prospects at WR or DB.

At #17, a WR like Odunze, Coleman, or Egbuka is a reasonable expectation (though Egbuka would be a pretty big reach).  Mims(if he declares) and Fuaga would also be good selections at T.  Newton probably enters the convoy here, but I don't see them spending a 1st on D after our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounder picks in the last two drafts have gone to Defense.

There's a trio of QB's ranked around this range in Daniels, McCarty, and Nix, so a team may be looking to move up for a QB, as well.
