The issue we have is that we can either get the best OT in the draft or the best WR but not both. So, if we draft Sewell then we are looking at the 4th or 5th best WR at 18 depending how things fall. If we draft Chase at 3 then the OT we would get at 18 is also nowhere near Sewell. I honestly don't know where I stand but it's over 3 months out so there is time to debate it until we are sick.
The edges of the OL this season with the three rookies were very sound, so is Sewell a huge enough upgrade to be worth the pick?
I like the idea of trading down a bit from pick three for a fair ransom to someone desperate for Sewell (or one of the QBs) and then target our most pressing needs at the top end - WR and LB.
Devonte Smith, Ja'Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle and Micah Parsons are all juicy prospects that should be considerations for our first pick depending on if/where we trade down. Which would be the best receiver to fit the team? Is Parsons the kind of LB solution that can cover the mobile TE/RB through the middle which seems to always be our defensive Achilles heel?
I also love the romance of picking up Patrick Surtain II to follow in his old man's footsteps in Miami, but we already loaded at CB - then again, after what happened last year, who knows?
We should also target a quality upgrade at the RB spot and may be worth a shot from the end of the second round, preferably a guy with a history of not fumbling the ball no matter how many times he gets hit. I would have loved us to have picked up Cam Akers last year, but considering who we ended up drafting I am not complaining.
Four picks in the top 50 to add more talent this year has me excited, and if we trade down and add to that bounty, even more so.
