    I like the focus areas, I’d switch it up a bit. In the first trade up several spots with 4th and future 2nd to grab whichever of the top 5 pass catchers fall. Let’s assume Odunze (although I’d be so happy if Nabers fell)

    1. Odunze
    2. Edgerrin Cooper
    3. Byron Murphy II
    4. Bucky Irving
    4. Traded
    5. Cooper Beebe
    7. BPA
    7. BPA

    focus on Dline with outside free agents.

    I like this a lot. Murphy is very underrated. I'm thinking that either Al-Shaair or Burks will be a Texan in FA next offseason. I know Cooper is a sideline to sideline LB, but I dont know how good he is in coverage. Do you?

    I like the positions but I don't think I would draft them in that order.

    DL/OL > WR > LB/S/TE

    I love Jeremiah Trotter Jr. and I’m not sure why. I look forward to draft process.

    Lol I hear that but I think we need a true X type receiver, tank is our slot guy for sure!

    I can get on board with this if Evans is willing to do 3 yrs 45-50 mil.

    Gotta draft a RB high.

    I’m not calling it luck when they drafted two good pass rushers in the 3rd and Puka in the 5th the following year.

    We need pass rushers! We are in a division where we need to be able to do much better against the pass on defense. If we cant afford Chris Jones (Dream sign, but unrealistic) in FA then I'd much rather rather sign Evans at WR and draft the best defensive pass rush type players and defensive backs we can get along with an offensive lineman in the first 4 rounds. That's our biggest need. Get wide receivers and a running back in the lower rounds.

    They actually could use both. After Nico and Tank it’s a big pile of nothing at wr. If you can get Mike Evans or Tee Higgins then I agree go with pass rusher in round 1

    I really have my hopes up, and can't remember the last time we actually got a really good FA receiver. Maybe this year will be different. I sure hope so.

    I think Nick might even go pass rusher and wr in free agency. Mike Evans and Hunter. Take a shot at Patrick Queen too

    They've been pretty good at finding WRs in later rounds (Cooper Kupp was a 3rd rounder). I mean we got Tank in 3rd as well. I think we need to add talent, no matter what pick it is.
