With the 19th Pick, the WFT selects....

Because the draft is random, and I won't be right regardless...

Greg Newsome II - CB - Northwestern

JOK is built like a safety, that worries me a bit.. I would love a linebacker but prefer the ones available in 2nd and 3rd rounds. Right now I would like Darrisaw, not sure he will slide that far, I will trust in RR gets the right guy

I get it, he won’t be the best getting to the inside run with shedding blocker, but he will get to the edge and outside runs and go sideline to sideline.

The big thing with him is the package stuff...nickel and dime. He will stay on the field to cover, get to the run, and pressure the QB on delayed/pressure blitz

A top flight LB could really put this D over the top. More than any other spot I think LB is where Ron is looking with the first pick.

If we get Parsons or Collins we would be insane on Defense.

I wonder how fast he is too. His 'projected' 40 time was 4.6, but he didn't run it due to a hamstring issue. I personally don't see the advantage of taking him over other LBs who are just as versatile, have a bigger frame to handle the MLB duties, and can be had in the 2nd or 3rd rounds.

If one of them is actually available, Micah Parsons or Zaven Collins would be fantastic, if they do decide to go LB with the first pick.

If Parsons falls then it goes (almost)without question that you take him, same with any of the top 10 talents...... My one thought about linebacker is that they need a MLB thumper in the run game. Is JOK an every down linebacker? Would you have him on the field on 3rd & 1? I like Collins but think that 19 is a bit early for him. Same goes for Moehrig (sp?). Fundamentally I am a believer in building the lines and a starting LT is more valuable if you can get one than a LB. Though I will admit that I have no experience of this I feel that it is easier to coach up linebackers to fit a scheme than spend high draft picks on them and coach up OTs ( see 2020 Dallas). You could justify any player being a BPA pick given the number of positions WFT could look to fill. I only really object to picking WR in the first round, any position after that I will take RR judgement.

Ron gets the athletic LB to complete the front 7 of the defense. Aggressive, fast and can cover. Underrated pass rusher and versatile

Who you got?

He's my preference...second is Darrisaw.

Positionally my preference would be:
1) LB
2) OT
3) S

I think RR and JDR both know the importance of the right LB directing the defense, and if they see that guy, I want them to take him. Otherwise, both our line and safety play could benefit from a plug and play guy.

I'd put QB at 4th, I just don't see it being a huge need right now. If Lance were to fall past 10 then i could see why they'd move up but thats about it

I am hoping 5 qbs go in the first 10. The talent that falls down to around 11-15 would be worth jumping up for, especially if a few WRs get taken off also.

I think there's a good chance that will happen. There are multiple teams that need a new QB. I also think Bears might be a dark horse for trade up to draft a QB. They tried everything to trade for Wilson and Watson with no success, so I would be surprised if Bears don't put in the same efforts in the draft.
