Have your priorities changed at all?

That's generally how I approach it anyway. The only time I might not was when I had a specific plan in mind for innovation.

That's why I was hard-up on Hockenson last year - I'd gotten focused on him specifically because I wanted to add an additional wrinkle by increasing the use of 12 personnel to help out the running game.

I might make a reach pick if it's not because of a need specifically, but rather because of an overarching impact the player could have across the board. I thought similarly with Nassir Adderley because I thought he could be the sort of dynamic complement to Mathieu that would make the secondary completely matchup proof - turns out that Thornhill gave the same thing WITHOUT a need to jump early.

You kind of touched on it the other day, but with my older age and with this regime, I just kinda let them do it and figure they know what they're doing.

Other than QB or RB there really isnt' a pick in the first round at 32 that will upset me. A guard? Cool. A LBer, whatever good job.

Just keep taking good players and figure the rest out later.

I think this is an easy answer that we already have the answers to.

Veach tried to trade for Minkah Fitzpatrick despite having Honey Badger, Thornhill and Fuller. We know Spags likes to blitz and confuse. That means you need strong secondary players who are versatile enough to play everywhere, thus confusing QB’s with a variety of different coverages.

Fuller is likely going to get a nice payday that we should not pay, and Thornhill won’t be back u til around mid season IMO so his replacement is imperative.

IOL is the other issue. It says a lot that Rankin and now Wiz have started over Wylie. Hopefully we can bring Wiz back on the cheap, get Rankin back and add another piece or two to that unit.
