I think you have to find guys that for one reason or another are great values.
Peters was a great value because of character issues. Jones was a great value because of depth at the postion in his class. Hockenson would abe a great value because of depth too, but also combined with positional value. This is why Jacobs intrigued me a little despite me usually not liking RB in round 1. He’s a RB that doesn’t have a ton of tape. Some reliable people have this guy as a top 10 talent. That’s value. |

One of the things I think is much more important in this spot, is taking guys because of what they can do and having them do that.
Not necessarily not taking them because of what they can't do. If that makes sense? Guys later are going to have some rough spots. That's fine. Don't ask them to do those things right away. |

The best way to make up for late picks it to find value at those spots. |

But I don't think taking a RB in the first round is a good example of that, no matter how good he could be. |

A top 10-15 talent at 29 is value no matter what way you want to look at it. That’s the definition. But since he’s still a RB, I’d prefer to find value elsewhere.

My opinion is draft with the depth of the draft rather than against it like the Chiefs have done in recent history. That's where you're going to get good values and I agree with staylor on finding values.
The positions I think will have value are DT, DE, TE, RB, and OG. Sure, you might need to take a CB or S early because their arent many good ones, but then you need to hit those 2nd and 3rd rounders so go for the values that will slide due to depth of the draft. Good place to probably get a DE, a TE, and a LG or something of the like that sets your team up with depth and future replacements. Belichick is a genius in this regard. He doesn't generally force selections based on need, hell he even fills immediate needs with mid-level free agents. He just goes with the draft and gets good talent. |

I also like looking for guys who might fall due to off field issues. Obviously it needs a lot of due diligence to make sure whatever historic issue is gone and then the extra effort to keep the guy on the straight and narrow after you sign him but it really can add a lot of value. |

I think this type of thinking supports taking Jeffery Simmons at the top of the 2nd. He’s got issues but he’s an elite talent and he can hopefully get healthy by the playoffs.

This draft and the immediate future has to be focused on pass rush. Houston and Ford are what they are: injury prone players who won’t be here beyond 2020. It will be somewhat surprising if even one of them is playing with us in 2020.
What happens if Houston is cut and we rely on injury prone Ford who gets hurt like his past dictates? You’re relying an awful lot on Speaks, Tanoh and a retread. Let’s face it: pass rushers are a goddamn fortune and we all know that we can’t afford to drop money on one with our current situation. Right now we have Fuller and Ward at corner and they are serviceable. I feel like a corner not named Byron Murphy is questionable in worth compared to what a pass rusher can provide. I’m thinking there might be some cheaper players to go for in FA and our 2nd rd pick would be just as good of use. Plus a highly paid pass rusher’s salary is roughly $10 million more per year than a highly paid corner. Yeah I’m thinking pass rusher. Based on Andy’s history, I bet he is too.
