The exception would be CB. And I can't even imagine them using a 1st round pick on a CB especially this year. They are loaded to the gills with starting quality CBs.
Sure, they absolutely should consider NT (I mentioned DLine as worthy of 1st round picks).
But, you can get a big run stuffing NT pretty inexpensively if you only want a 2 down NT.
It's good edge rushers that are the premium. Not NTs.
Here’s what you said, Rock.
As for this year: I think that Les will only consider OLB edge rusher, LT or MAYBE TE (but I doubt it). If he can't get OLB or a potential Whitworth replacment, he'll try to trade down and out of the 1st round.No mention of NT, ILB, or CB.
BTW, reason I included CB is that in just 2 years we have MP and Talib as UFA’s. What if one, or both, go sideways? In any case, Talib would be 34 years old. So, if a CB that they just love should fall...
Reason I think ILB is on the table is that Tree is now gone and I’m not convinced that Barron will remain, either. So, if the dream player should fall...
Lastly, NT upgrade might now be the single biggest bang for our buck, defensively. If certain players should somehow fall...
Don’t mean to nitpick your list, but I do think that you left off some real possibilities, depending on FA moves.
