I look at these picks and the ones in bold are the ones I'm ok with, I really like the Elflein and Mama picks.
I'm guessing you fell in love with Ross's combine performance as so many others have? Personally, if we go WR, Davis or Williams would be my pick, but the only way I go WR in 1 is if Davis is there and they don't have their DE available. McCaffery would be nice, but he's weak and if you're drafting him to be your starter you might want to draft a big back to help carry the load if you don't think Hill can handle it. Conley is good, but is it really a need especially above LB and DE? Which leads me to my next issue, you wait too long to draft a LB and DE which are 2 of our 3 biggest needs outside of Oline and when you draft a LB and DE they are more projects or non-starters. They need to be impact players, our DE's outside of Dunlap are bad and the only impact LB we have is Burfict. Lee to me would be more depth instead of impact starter so I wouldn't draft him as my first LB, he'd be a nice second pick at LB though.
Overall I would be very disappointed if the draft were to fall this way.
