The first pick needs to fill a hole in the lineup or certainly a key rotational player. It depends on BPA. Running back who is never going to play more than a third of the time for 4 seasons I don’t think is wise. We know Apple is a weak link. A corner provides depth or could spell either starter. Maybe beat out Apple. A safety like Dax Hill comes with fantastic versatility and depending on Bell or Bates leaving in 2023 insurance. A DT like Wyatt or Logan Hall would really bolster the depth at DT where rotation is a must. Drafting Linderbaum or Johnson guarantees a long time starter and would cement a 4 year group of continuity of at least 4 OL starters. It also is great insurance with the unknown of Carman or just depth all across the line. We know about OL injuries.
Finally I watched Hall in person in college several times and he wouldn’t be my pick any way. But I do think he will have a solid career. I think they are more than content with Evans and Perine.
