Taking an Offensive Player in Round 1

I still just keep drooling over what this offense could be with a guy like Irv Smith running alongside Kelce. That's a serious failure to keep my eye on the ball; I get it. It's some Mike Martz shit. But this offense could be absolutely unstoppable with Smith out there with Kelce, Hill and Watson. And while nobody likes to think of what life without Kelce may look like, I still remember our offense dying when he got hurt against TN. A viable backup and potential replacement if a contract can't be reached would be nice.

And when a defensive guru like Belichick still exists and specializes in taking away the thing you most want to have - good luck with that one, BB. You go ahead and try to figure out how to neutralize Kelce when you have another specimen like Smith roaming the field and Hill looking to take the top off.

Tight end would be a place to look for sure. Irv Smith is just a monster, I doubt he's there when we pick though. I wouldn't be opposed.

I know the whole RB issue. I personally wouldn't take one there or anywhere close to that and i'm pretty sure Andy shares a similar thought process.

Ideally, I'd really like to have a 3 down badass at MLB. Is there any way there is one of those there?
