First, let me say this, our first pick in the draft is really hard for me to figure out. So many variables and good players. Really can't go wrong with whoever they pick.
Lets say we stay at #2 or even trade down to as low as #6
-I love the idea of adding a dynamic WR like Watkins to our WR corps. Watkins, Austin, Bailey/Quick is a good starting duo.
But....Snead has said they want to develop our current WR's, so Watkins might be out.
-Matthews/Robinson could both be good replacements for Long when we let him go in a year or two. They also would be great at guard. Robinson would be the better guard, and Matthews the better tackle if someone goes down.
But.....We already have a "swing tackle" in Saffold and really all our line needs is a LG to be complete, along with guard and tackle depth of course. So they both could be out.
What does that leave early in the 1st?
QB, DE, OLB
Well obviously QB is out right? Bradford is there guy, been stated numerous times.
So that leaves Clowney and Mack for us with wherever our early pick is(#2-#6).
Now if both Clowney and Mack are gone by #6, then at least one of Watkins/Matthews/Robinson will be available and we will grab whichever is available or rated highest if more than one is there.
But if Mack or Clowney is available anywhere we are picking with our first pick, It is looking like one of them will be the choice.
Disclaimer: I prefer Watkins/Robinson/Matthews but it just seems like Mack or Clowney will be the pick right now. It's not what I would do. Unfortunate or not?
