I'm eliminating Fautanu as a realistic possibility. He would be choice 1 though IF he were there.
I see no reason whatsoever to draft an RT in this class. Everyone has their opinions but mine is you can throw Latham, Fuaga, Guyton, and Mims into that bag. I'm not especially interested with Taylor on board.
Thomas is the only WR I'm considering moving up for and I wouldn't want to use a 1st or 2nd from next year's draft to do it because I think the LT class next year has a chance to be better. I don't think the overall OT class is better, just so we're straight.
This team doesn't have a ton of needs but an elite weapon for this year would be a huge boost to the chances of a 3-peat, especially with the Rice situation and how that could play out. We can dick the dog and sign Donovan Smith again.

I agree with all this, although I probably wouldn't move up for Thomas. If we get Donovan Smith back I'd almost certainly wait it out and get a WR at 32. There's a lot of RTs floating around that I'm not particularly interested in gambling on switching to LT.
I think the price to move up for a genuine LT stud is going to be too high and burn through draft capital we need to sort some sneaky needs this year and next.
