Way early. And free agency can change the list of needs going into the draft. But, here's some thoughts:
- Te'o (ILB) may go in the first 10 or even 5 picks
- Scouts Inc has 15 DL going in the 1st round at this point (including juniors who may not declare)
- Scouts Inc has 5 OL going in the 1st round as well
- Scouts has 1 CB going in the top 15; Millner (Bama)
- Jarvis Jones (OLB) may go in the first 5 picks
- Geno Smith may be the 1s QB taken and may make it out of the top 10
- The top WR may not go until after the 15 pick
- Outside of Te'o and Jones, you may only see one other LB go in the 1st
If all of that holds true and we pick in the 5 to 15 range:
- I think it's possible or even likely that we would miss out on Te'o
- Taking a WR would be drafting one a bit high
- Taking a QB is a possibility
- Going the OL or DL route would fit for our slot but isn't a top need as both units are strengths at this point
- CB is a real possibility.
- Trading down is a real option
- Trading our 1st for a player may make sense depending on who you get in return
So, If I had to put my finger on it, I'd say we watch on draft day for Te'o to drop to us. If he doesn't, we either take a QB or trade down. Outside chance we take Millner if he's there and move Williams to FS (depending on what we do with Byrd) or keep Williams to fight for the starting CB job. McGee and McLovin may both be gone.
