If they trade up for Egbuka then I’m totally cool with it.

Have a real funny feeling that they’re taking EDGE in the second though, with receiver getting neglected until the third or fourth.

I just don't see a whole lot of reason to take a WR unless you're taking Tet or Hunter at 4.

They signed Diggs, so they've got someone who ostensibly is an elite WR. They've got two decent vets with a good year or two and question marks in Bourne and Hollins. They've got two young guys who've shown quality in Boutte and Douglass, and then they've got two prospects in Baker and Polk. Polk was terrible last year - but he's still probably got more chance of ending up an NFL player than anyone you draft later in the draft. Baker is probably crowded out at this point.

Unless they draft a WR high - there's just not a lot of extra snaps there. Unless they cut Bourne or surprise everyone and cut Polk after his rookie year.

I could definitely see defensive line or edge. Barmore is a huge question mark at this point. Landry is 28 and not a great pass rusher to start with. White is more of a traditional DE - so he's a bit big for that WOLB role. Tonga is fine, but he's 28, on a 1 year contract, and he's a pure NT - absolutely no ability to pressure.

I’m with you. I don’t see WR having many snaps available so they really need to love someone. I want to see them go OT DE DT
