Not sure Howie values the S position all like that but Brian Branch is a better version of CJGJ. Might be there at 10
Not that mocks mean everything, but in the 4 big ones today, he went 17, 21, 21, 23.
Would be a big trade back (or trade up) situation if we got him I'd say.
I think it would have to be a trade back, and only if the top D-linemen are gone.
So who are we realistically looking at here if we stay put at 10?
Gone for sure before us:
Stroud
Young
Anderson
Pretty sure gone before us:
Levis
Richardson
Carter (if he drops, this should be automatic for us)
Wilson (if he drops, this should be automatic for us)
That leaves 3 picks before us. Some possible guys going around that spot:
CB Gonzalez (probably not anymore now that we have Slay/Bradberry)
CB WItherspoon (probably not anymore now that we have Slay/Bradberry)
EDGE Van Ness (rreal possibility but I'd prefer to trade back a touch if that's the case)
EDGE Murphy (real possibility but I'd prefer to trade back a touch if that's the case)
OT Paris Johnson (maybe since we lost Isaac?... also could trade back though if going OL unless we totally love him)
OT Skoronski (maybe since we lost Isaac?... also could trade back though if going OL unless we totally love him)
OT Jones (maybe since we lost Isaac?... also could trade back though if going OL unless we totally love him)
WR Smith-Njgba (flying up boards.... def not a need at all for us though right?)
RB Bijan (no. Just no.)
No one else is hitting even the top 15 with any consistency. IF we stay at 10 (starting to think it's unlikely), who is your pick from that list? (or someone else)
