What do I love? I love getting a stud player at 15.
This draft has some real talent in the first round in areas we can capitalize.
The kicker? There are a ton of teams with huge decisions at quarterback, and a lot of good QBs on the board. That usually means people trading up or reaching for QBs.
Teams that will or could conceivably take a QB if they are sold?
The following:
Bengals
Miami
Chargers
Carolina
Jacksonville
Raiders
Indy
Tampa Bay
So what this means for me is any one of these teams could either take a QB in their slot unexpectedly or trade up for one.
Burrows
Tua (if he enters)
Herbert
Fromm
Eason
Love
These are QBs that could potentially go in round 1.
Burrows Tua and Herbert will definitely go imo ahead of pick 15.

So that leaves a number of really good players on the board that can potentially end up in our laps. There are 10 players (at this point, combine, workouts will tweak later) that have a ranking (Scouts inc)
of 90 or more left on the board.
Since we draft at 15, team needs can push a great player to us. The draft is full of really good WRs. Im not advocating for WR, but if we do......Higgins is the man I would want. When he adds weight...its over. He may not time the fastest but he plays fast.
Laviska is also a stud and possible since hes a Coloradan.
Player I would love to have most is Isaiah Simmons, but he wont be there. Next to him, Kinlaw may take our Dline over the top when Chubb gets back.
Delpit is not someone I would want because he misses open field tackles.
This is according to Scouts rankings......there are other possibilities.
Im not advocating a WR but if we took BPA and ended up with Higgins I would not be mad.
Thoughts?
