Could be they are being really cautious with Eifert because of his injury history. I'd hang onto him another year while our rookie TE learns the position more.
I'd hang onto AJ. Even two first round picks don't replace his talent as a top 5 pick. We need dynamic players. AJ is one. Mixon is another. I wouldn't trade either right now because their stock is low. If they fix the offensive line their stock goes up. If they get an upgrade at QB and linebacker that helps the team.
Seeing as we have a lot of defensive lineman, I would be fine with trading a player like Dunlap for a first rounder, but I wouldn't want to dump Geno. He's still top 5 at his position. Same as AJ and Mixon has the potential to be top 5 in my opinion. If you can't get a first round pick for Dunlap I probably wouldn't trade him; if we were to trade him we better be taking an offensive lineman or linebacker with the pick.
They need to upgrade offensive line and linebacker. If they came out of the draft with one or two solid guards, I would be ecstatic. We already invested in LT last year. If there's another worth picking I say go for it. We seem to have a center. We need two dominant guards to build a run game around. I don't know what the draft class looks like, but the 2nd round could be a great place to nab a good guard. Unless there's a Quenten Nelson type prospect coming in, where we're picking may be too high in the first. If there's a dynamic linebacker in the first we could take, paired with a 2nd and 3rd round G/T, we could come out pretty great in the draft. Unless they want to take a QB high. In that case linebacker will most likely be a problem going into 2020. If they're planning on going QB early, they need to just pony up in free agency for a linebacker. It's working for other teams.
If they went LB in FA. QB high. Guard/ Tackle in 2nd round, third round, I'd be pretty happy. But of course they would then have to go out and play.
I'm coming around to the line of thinking that we need a more dynamic QB. When you see some of the guys performing this year, they all have a little something extra. Not sure Dalton has that. Russell Wilson can make things happen with a poor offensive line. Some of these dynamic players like Lamar Jackson are taking over the NFL. It would only help things if we added another QB so we can attack defenses from a variety of ways like you see in New Orleans. We can't be so predictable.
