Suppose you were the GM and you could not trade up or down. Which players would you have selected? I'll take a stab
1 ) OLB/Edge Montez Sweat. He fell due to a misdiagnosed heart condition. He is a battle proven SEC pass rusher who can do lots of things well and stood out like a star in the senior bowl Do you want to pay Bud Dupree 9-12 million a year. Neither do I, here's the replacement, we can use the extra cap space somewhere else next year. A BPA type of pick.
2 ) WR DK Metcalf. Ben makes turns speedy big players into stars, and they fall fast once off the Steelers. See Wallace or Bryant. With this type of rare speed and size, defenses would have to account for it, which means less attention to the other players, in addition to Metcalf's back-breaking type of big plays.
3A ) ILB Germaine Pratt. A former free safety, Pratt has very good speed, size production at ILB. Solid in coverage. Hits like a truck, very productive on the blitz. Here's your new strating ILB.
3B ) CB Justin Layne. Same as the Steelers. I like his size and ability to defend passes. Speed is so-so, could be better at free safety. Or he could be a man coverage coverage vs. the non speedy types.
