As I look at the draft rankings, this is the most defensive highly ranked draft I have seen in a long time. the 2 QB's (Ward and Sanders) at the top are hardly can't miss franchise QB's. Melrose is third on many sites but is he a solid #1 pick or will he go round 1 as too many QB needy teams. This may be the weakest QB class in a very long time with a long list of QB needy teams.

The other big offensive positions OT and WR lack those sure fire can't miss options as well. Is Hunter a CB or a WR? After Hunter (if he is a WR), I don't see a Chase, Jefferson option. 

It may be an interesting draft. I see teams reaching in round 1, I hope we are not one of them.

There isn't a guard I would even consider taking in Round 1.  The closest would be taking Kelvin Banks and sticking him at LG for two years to develop.  He won't make it to 17, though.

The only offensive players that might realistically be there at 17 that I would be happy with would be Jeanty, Warren, or Loveland.  Jeanty isn't a need with Brown emerging, but he's a special talent and you can always find touches for RB's.  Warren and Loveland are TE's that can line up anywhere and really open the offense up.
