I can think of 5 draft scenarios. I will rank them by preference.
1) Catch a Falling Star.
One of the legit top guys falls to us and we take him: Walker, Warren, W. Campbell, Membou, Jeanty, or W. Johnson are in that category for me. Not bloody likely, but not impossible.
2) Trade back and still get a good player at a position of need.
Emmanwori, Starks, Zabel, Jackson, Booker, Harmon, Nolen, Grant, and Green is the list for me. Though Loveland or Barron would also work. Maybe Ezeiruaku.
Still, given the thin,-at-the-top but deep-in-the-middle nature of the draft, I think it unlikely we find a trade back scenario.
3) Stay put and get a good player at an area of need.
See above list.
4) Off the reservation: with trade back.
We trade back, but then whiff on the above guys or make a riskier/flag laden pick or one at a lesser area of need: Stewart, M. Williams, Pearce, an OT conversion, Hampton, a WR, etc.
5) Off the Reservation: staying put edition.
