#1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
#2. Abdul Carter, DE/OLB, Penn State
#3. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
#4. Kelvin Banks Jr., OT, Texas
#5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
#6. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
#7. Ashton Jeanty, RB, Boise St.
#8. Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
#9. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State
#10. Luther Burden III, WR Missouri
#11. Tetairoa McMillan, WE, Arizona
#12. Mykel Williams, DE Georgia

No QBs, only 1 OT, only 1 CB. Acouple guys at less valued positions (RB, TE, S).

For me:

Tier 1: Run to podium, needs/schmeeds
#1. Travis Hunter, WR/CB, Colorado
#2. Abdul Carter, DE/OLB, Penn State
#3. Will Johnson, CB, Michigan
#5. Mason Graham, DT, Michigan
#6. Malaki Starks, S, Georgia
#8. Jalon Walker, LB/Edge, Georgia
#9. Tyler Warren, TE, Penn State

If Tee isn't back, I'd add the WRs. No on Jeanty or the OT, other needs take precedence. Williams worries me a bit as a tools guy who has not been as productive as his tools suggest he could be. But the above 8, I run to the podium. Starks, Warren, and Walker are the only ones I reallyvsee with a shot at being there.

To me, McMillan is a good enough talent to take regardless of Tee. You'll never regret giving Joe more weapons.  That said, 99% he won't be there, so the point is kinda moot.  

Banks, I would be fine with.  You can put him at LG for two years to get acclimated, then slide him to LT when OB's contract is up.  

Folks would hate it, but Jeanty would be a good pick, as well.  You can always find touches for RB's.  Brown probably won't last if we continue to ride him like we have the 2nd half of last year.  He needs someone to take the load off of him, especially in a physical division.  Worst case, you have arguably the best duo in the league for two years and can let Brown walk without paying him.  Or, you can trade Brown and recoup some draft capital in his contract year.


I get needs, but we need to come out of Round 1 with a stud, regardless of position.
