[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 769523, member: 10086"] There seems to be a near universal lock on the first 5-6 players on the mocks, at least in some mix of that top grouping. As we know, the QB position dominates the day, with at least 6 teams ahead of us and 2 just behind us listing that as one of their top 2 concerns. That 6 teams ahead of us vying for what is realistically 4-5 Upper echelon QBs. I’ve noticed that generally the next largest common denominator of need is at CB, with 5 teams in front of us listing CB as a significant need. One of those is Cleveland and we know they will go QB first with a high probability of Saquon next (that’s too much to pass on). That leaves 4 remaining teams ahead of GB looking hard at CB as one of their top needs. Unfortunately, GB is on the outside looking in at CB day 1 unless we trade up drastically (and that’s very costly). Next. Edge, OL and LB hold a tie with the next greatest need at 3 teams apiece. However those exact 3 teams are projected to pick at QB or RB in that initial grouping and they just happen to eliminate 1 of each position. That leaves 6 remaining teams all looking at Edge (2) OL (2) LB (2) intently just before us. If my math is correct (and it might be off completely) the worst thing that can happen is you have that second OL position slip away out of focus (We can assume Q.Nelson is already gone) Any mixture of several events would help us greatly: 1. We need a 5th QB to go before #14 (luckily there are 2 reserve teams ahead of us needing QBs that probably won’t get one so if a top team neglects a QB that’s insurance for us) 2. We need a 2nd OL to go early before us. 3. We need a surprise pick (Saquon/Nelson are the only relative guaranteed) at another Offense position like WR/TE/RB (very possible) I’ve seen several mocks that have either Ridley or Sutton go before #14. Another issue that concerns me, for any of those 4 teams ahead of us that don’t get a CB day 1, they will be picking ahead of us in the “leftovers” scrap pile early day 2. We should think hard about a trade deal with Cleveland early 2nd day, especially if we don’t value one of the remaining CBs worthy of #14. I’d rather stay pat at #14 and work on Edge, LB/S or WR during the 1st round and hit CB hard rounds 2-4 using draft capital to leverage up if necessary. [/QUOTE]
