No holds barred, you can orchestrate a trade up to 1, drop down and get more, blah blah blah. Bottom line, your right now (and it will change 100 times in 30 days) absolute dream picks at 6 and 17. The only thing I ask is to be reasonable with where guys are slated to go and I can't believe I'm saying it, just contribute, let's keep it clean and civil and share some grey matter.
Right now, my dream scenario is
Round 1, Pick 6 - QB Dwayne Haskins, OSU.
Round 1, Pick 17 - WR D.K. Metcalf, Miss St.
OR
Round 1, Pick 17 - TE T.J. Hockenson, Iowa
Chances are Metcalf is long gone by 17 but if there is any way he's there I nab him immediately. He's a matchup problem just with his size and he has elite speed to match it. You add a 6-3 lightning bolt who can block down field to an offense with Evan Engram and Saquon Barkley and a much improved OL from two years ago and you have the pieces in place.
Hockenson would be an immediate starter, updgrade our egde blocking in the run and the pass game and he's a talented down field pass catcher and a lot of times we played best out of 12 personnel and I think Shurmur is going to use a lot of that.
Haskins is the one today, who I want at 6 after his pro day. He looked much much quicker up close footwork wise and his arm talent speaks for itself. I have questions as do others on his experience and how easy he had it at OSU but we're talking prototype size, arm talent, bright kid with a calm demeanor who seems to just get it.
So you'd have finally a solid OL (yes my blind faith in DG means I'm assuming he fixes RT by September), a superstar do it all RB who teams have to box in, a TE/Y in Engram who can absolutely fly and a big strong armed QB with smarts and intangibles. And then a matchup nightmare in Metcalf or a solid reliable two way TE in Hockenson. And flame on!
I like great busts.
Reality #1, Odel Beckham is G-O-N-E; a "committee is going to try to replace him
Reality #, Evan Engram (try as he can) is NOT the big blocking bruiser that the coaching staff wants him to be. (The running game suffers because of that)
Reality #3 Evan Engram is a 235 lb. man running a 4.4. He's big enough to overpower CBs (and faster than most of them). Engram is the ideal #2 "possession" receiver
Jeremy Shockey is the guy Hockenson reminds me of. I remember, first time I saw him running over people on the field. Michael Strahan almost lost his mind on the sidelines, jumping up-and-down in delight.
#17 OT Jawaan Taylor ... chances he slips not likely but you said dream and it is possible.
#37 WR AJ Brown ... I would love to say Nkeal Harry, but I don't think he or AJ Brown make it here, but if one did it would be AJ Brown who I love.
Q Williams
Oliver
Trade 6+ E.E.
1b
Allen
Wilson wilkins (the DT, wtf name)
1.c
6. Allen as olb
17. Bush as ilb
37. Dexter Laurence as DT
#17 OT Jawaan Taylor ... chances he slips not likely but you said dream and it is possible.
#37 WR AJ Brown ... I would love to say Nkeal Harry, but I don't think he or AJ Brown make it here, but if one did it would be AJ Brown who I love.
Actually scratch this...
#6 Edge rusher Josh Allen ... just so amazing and exactly what we need. you said dream and it is possible. I almost wanted to put Quinnen Williams here but just can't picture him making it in any dream.
#17 Ed Oliver ... There is a chance he falls here and I couldn't pass him up as I want him at 6 if the top 5 is Murray, Haskins, Allen, Bosa, and Q Williams.
#37 RT Dalton Risner ... Nasty RT who will probably be picked in the last part of the 1st and can play Center also. Would love him here.
J Taylor OT at 6
Hockenson or Simmons or Bush at 17
