Draft Needs & Strategy

[RedinTexas]

As I see it, the #1 need in the draft is WR. That isn't to say that we must take a WR with our #1 pick, but that this is the #1 priority. I would put OT as the #2 need and maybe CB as #3. I don't know if we have a DB on the team that is ready to step up and replace Sneed, but I'm sure Spags and Veach have discussed this. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

I bring this up because everyone just seems to assume our draft needs, but we probably have different opinions on how big of a concern each need is. The answers are important because they go a long way toward determining draft strategy and how to handle it when the draft actually plays out.

Finally, our GM has shown talent for picking in the later rounds. Trading up means giving up picks that our GM might be able to turn into draft diamonds. It's like having Mahomes and running a run-oriented offense. You have to play to your strengths, and with Veach our late picks are valuable to us.
