What positions do we pick in the 4th and 5th if we don’t trade up? I’m gonna guess that Kingsley and winfrey are gone and we pick Michael Clemons de or dominque Robinson de in the 4th. And hopefully kevin Harris rb in the 5th.

135 and 158 I think

I’m stuck in the 80s and still believe that generating a pass rush with your top 4 DL is the most important thing. DE is still weak.

Desperately need to bring back Ingram and also sign Clowney.

I’m sure we’ll sign at least one of them. Carlos Dunlap is still out there too.

I wouldn’t mind a trade up for Winfrey to help the interior too.

Make those moves and the DL is better than last year. Still a work in progress, but better.

If one of Saunders, Danna, Wharton, or Kaindoh could take a big step forward, that would be great. Not holding my breath though.

Signing Clowney, Suh, or OBJ would be a nice cherry on top

It would definitely be nice to know where we're at in cap after the draft and what it'll take to sign them all.

Would like some more line depth on both sides of the ball and if there is a late strong value pick at RB take it.

Overall impression is we are younger, cheaper and better in D and this will lessen the pressure on Patrick to lead a TD drive every time we get the ball which can only be a good thing.

Think DE in FA is the top need after the draft. Still need 1-2 more receivers in draft or FA.

Would love Clowney but not sure that’s happening. I know Ingram is a fan favorite but he doesn’t really excite me, would prefer someone a little younger with more pass rushing prowess, but not sure that player is available other than Clowney. DE is probably still going to need to be a top priority next offseason.

Should easily win the AFC West by at least 3 games. The question is without Hill can we still match up with the Bills and Bengals.

...is shaping up nicely.

Every single player we've taken should have a day one impact.

This defense got a lot better the past three days. I still think our pass rush will be fairly weak but we have some real potential at LB and in the secondary

I agree that we still have issues at DE.

Free agency is a possibility for us at DE. We could re-sign Melvin Ingram or someone else.

We really don't know what we have yet in Joshua Kaindoh and Malik Herring.

They might develop.

BUT...

A big question would be what will happen with Frank Clark's legal issues and any possible NFL suspension.

I think we will sign a free agent maybe in this coming week.

Clark, Jones, Nnadi, George K are our starters week 1, unless we sign a veteran like Ingram. That appears to be better than week 1 last year when we were putting Chris Jones on the edge. So that's a positive.

WR's will be quite an experiment. We don't have a true #1 on the team but the position is deeper than it's been in some time. So we'll have to wait and see on that.

I'd say it's going to take at least half a season for this thing to gel, come together. By December this team will be hot and ready for the real games to begin.
