In my opinion this would be the ideal draft scenario for us.
I think our 3 major needs at this point are DL, OL, and WR.
Per Drafttek the number one pick has a value of 3000 ( https://www.drafttek.com/NFL-Trade-Value-Chart.asp )
So I present the following trade:
We trade the NYG's the #1 pick for … #6, #17, and #37... that seems far fetched but the value of those picks adds up to 3080... which means they paid a small premium for the pick.
And now for the draft:
#6. Devin White, LB, LSU Some might not view this as an area of need... but adding a young playmaker to a position we have neglected for far too long can't be frowned upon. This kid will be an All-Pro one day in my opinion.
#17. Ed Oliver, DT, Houston - We've talked about this, seems really low for Oliver but several recent mocks have him in this range. If four QB's are taken in the top 15 (which wouldn't surprise me , then someone has to fall) Dudes a beast.
#33. Garrett Bradbury, G, N.C. State - A lot of question marks along our current OL due to injury need to add some fresh talent and I think Bradbury would make a solid addition next to Cole.
#37 . N'Keal Harry, WR, Arizona State - Many of us on the board would love to see Harry at #33, I'm a fan as well and think him and Kirk could be a nice combo for years to come.
Random thoughts:
1. trading Rosen for anything less then a mid first is a HUGE mistake. I hope we don't do it.
2. Personally I think RSJ will be a legit weapon in KK's offense and will lineup as a WR alot. He's a matchup nightmare and while his play has been inconsistent we have seen his talent and some of the big plays he is capable of.
3. All the chatter the last month about our pick has been kind of exhausting. With a month before the draft I'm optimistic that there's a plan, solid decisions will be made, and SK will learn from past mistakes in a make or break year for him.
Let's go Cards!
