off the nflmockdraftdatabase.com consensus big board,

X) Bijan, Brian Branch, JSN, Michael Mayer * these guys plus the top tackles are all off the board

1) Bryan Bresee, Lukas Van Ness, O'Cyrus, Cam Smith, Kelee Ringo, Jalin Hyatt, Kincaid, Nolan Smith, Zay Flowers, Drew Sanders, Calijah Kancey, Jahmyr Gibbs, Keion White * does a bad back knock Kincaid back within range ??

X) Darnell Washington, Dawand Jones, Darnell Wright, Clark Phillips, Luke Musgrave, Josh Downs, Isaiah Foskey, Siaki Ika, John Michael Schmitz, Mazi Smith, Will McDonald * these guys are all slotted before our round two selection, and would prolly be labeled a reach round one

2) Cody Mauch, Tuli Tuipulotu, Zach Charbonnett, Keanu Benton, Jack Campbell, Steve Avila, Matthew Bergeron, Adetomiwa Adebawore, Devon Achane, Tucker Kraft, Daiyan Henley, Rashee Rice, Noah Sewell, Joe Tippmann, Nathaniel Dell, Julius Brents * Campbell had a good combine and would help against the run, and.... still a Sewell fan, and.... have seen Tippmann slotted in the first, and.... like Julius Brents some, but wondering if he will be overdrafted

3) Cedric Tillman, JL Skinner, Marvin Mims, Tyjae Spears, Tank Bigsby, Roschon Johnson, DeMarvion Overshown, Kenny McIntosh * receivers and RBs sitting here, albeit don't think I'd pass up on Skinner here

4) Emil Ekiyor, Israel Abanikanda, DeWayne McBride * Abanikanda and Iosivas would be a good start to day three

5) Charlie Jones, Owen Pappoe, Andrei Iosivas, Rakim Jarrett, Alex Forsyth, Chris Rodriguez, YaYa Diaby *

6) Henry Bainivalu, Mohamed Ibrahim, Ricky Stromberg *

7) Camerun Peoples, Connor Galvin, Antonio Mafi, Justin Shorter, Dante Stills, Drake Thomas, Stetson Bennett * if any of these guys make it to UDFA, would all be high priorities

8) Cameron Brown, Travis Dye * both of these guys would be sky high UDFA priorities by my take, and.... willing to spend a day three pick on Brown

[beachcomber]

based on the prior post, thinkin' my draft strategy might be the such....

1) TE is the priority, w/Kincaid my first choice, and if not then prolly be lookin' @linemen, w/the either of O'Cyrus or Siaki Ika
2) if Ika is still on the board, then would be going NT, otherwise LB is a priority, w/Sewell my first choice
3) if Tippmann is on the board, then going w/the OC, otherwise would look DB w/the either of Julius Brents or JL Skinner, and last resort, consider RB a bit early (and of which mighta been a good idea last year)

4/5) startin' to look skill players w/the either of WR/RB, albeit wouldn't completely discount the likes of an Emil Ekiyor
6/7) the lean is to get an OG here as Connor Galvin is lacking the desired sand in ye ol' pants.... front seven would be fine w/the either of Stills or Drake Thomas, and still adding RB/WR if you like the either of Justin Shorter or Camerun Peoples

8) would def spend a pick on Cameron Brown, and do think Travis Dye would be a great hedge against Ekeler's health

Probably draft OT, LB, FS, best player available at all 3 positions in round 1 and 2 and 3 and all will be given an opportunity to start! If we resign Pip we could replace the OT position for a WR or TE, but we still need another good OT for depth.

[Formula 21]

Mock of the day. I’m starting to look at Lucas van Ness or Nolan Smith as our 1sr rounder. Big guys are harder to find than small guys at WR.

A solid coverage LB in the 2nd? We do need to upgrade our coverage skills there.

Nathaniel Dell = Playmaker. Small but hard to cover with YAC skills, a KC type of player.

I know we need playmakers on both sides of the ball but I just keep thinkin Staley went big in FA last season to try and make his "genius" defense work soooo make it fuckin work man.Time to surround the future of our team which is Mr.Herbert with fresh new talent.

I don't think it provides any cap relief. It would create an extra spot on the 53-man roster until he is activated from PUP, though.

So costs TT more cuz extra player’s salary.

Flip side is the D is still a major work in progress, just could not get off the field on third downs.

Even with all the free agents TT brought in for Staley.Enough already I say.Help Herb and the new OC out.Time for Staley to "express" his defensive ideology on the field or move along.

Technically, it costs TT 1/17 of the 53rd player on the roster for every week that JCJ is on the PUP. So, very little extra cost.
