Not too complicated, went for players I have seen or believe in first, then used what looked like silly value levels. No trades at all.
1) Okudah CB OSU
2) Baun LB Wisconsin
3) Bryan Edwards, WR, So Car
4) Cesar Ruiz, OC, Michigan St
5) Ben Bartch, OT, St John's (Mn)
IMO my top 4 picks are day 1 starters, except Edwards who will have to earn something or wait till one or another starter goes down for a bit... But Edwards will be groomed immediately to be our next "X" we.
Bartch is slotted behind Solder for 2020, but has all the athleticism one could want in an OLT prospect. In HS this kid ran high hurdles, threw shot and discus, in college he spent 1-2 years as a TE so he's VERY inexperienced at OT. But he stood out at the SR Bowl practices...
I guess looking at what I did I figure DG's gonna sign Conklin and maybe Ngakoue as well, along with Williams.
I’m also a fan of trading down
It's Ruiz in round 4 and Bartch in round 5 who represent massive strokes of luck, I think.
Is that the love child of Antwaan Randle El and Anquan Boldin?

Do you really think the best center in college will go in the 4th round?

No I don’t
1. Others think Biadawz and Hennessy are better
2. That’s why I love the pick. He’s a steal in the 4th round
I'm not arguing their board, but are any of the other 4 selections even moderately unrealistic? Certainly not the first 3 round picks.
He's not crazy unrealistic.
Maybe not after free agency!
A more realistic redo would be
1) Okudah
2) Baun
3) Ruiz
4) Bartch
5) Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin
I'd be down with that as well, although Edwards is a prize who seems bound to slide in this draft.
