[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 757341, member: 10086"] Our best bet after reading that to make sure this draft sticks because those guys don't impact our Cap like the Vets. The greater the number of draft players who can not only start but contribute similar to our current roster or above needs to be maximized to have a friendly balance sheet. That said, I think reasonably we can get at minimum 2 of our immediate positional needs out of this draft with reasonable certainty. My basis for this is our pick #14 should be a starter day 1. If we wait until pick #47 things get shaky, but I've noticed in many drafts there are really solid 1st round designated players that still slide into the early 2nd round, but there's a threshold in every draft of top talent (typically late round 1 and early round 2) and then the performance drops off dramatically. We can see that by how many 2nd rounder etc.. are still playing 5 years later, how many 3rd round players are still playing 5 years later and so on (as the rounds change the % drops dramatically) There should reasonably be another player in rounds 3-5 that rises to the occasion as a starter capable (like or RB squad did last year). For the reason of this enlightening commentary, my contention has been that we need to do just the opposite of what TT did last year. In order to get the maximum probability of the benefit of starter level players when we have double digit numbers of draft selections is to trade up (I'm not suggesting anything radical such as trading into the top 10 or robbing future top draft picks which would be extremely costly) but trading up into the late 1st or early second round with a couple of picks should be on the table. There's a good possibility that one of our FA Veterans walk this season in contract negotiations regardless of what we think "we" can control. That's a cyclical process that isn't all that bad, because it forces us to look harder into the future rather than allowing our personal emotions to restrain us from making a move out of fear. This is a chess game and we have to anticipate losing every FA and what our response will be before it happens. The better the contingency plan, the more aggressive negotiating a team friendly contract should become. We are in a constant rebuilding mode and not everything will be accomplished in 2018 that needs to be done, particularly within our limited Cap budget. We do however IMO, have a really good opportunity in 2018 to better multiple positions groups extensively, even with the tough decisions at WR that will have to be addressed this year. [/QUOTE]
