Good possibility. As things stand now our draft spot is on the tail end of where the first tier defensive players will be taken. Most projections I see have Nix, Clinton-Dix and Mosely in the early to mid teens.Say hello to CJ Mosely in the first round as soon as Nix is drafted.
After that group the next BPA are mostly WR's, OL, TE, and CB's. If we want D front 7 or safety we'll have to hope one of those 3 is still on the board. If not, we're stuck like last year probably chasing need down the board or reaching.
If it were me and the top defenders are gone and BPA's are WR, OL, TE, CB then I'd go with one of the OL projected in the 15-20 range, Cyrus Kouandjio, Bama or Cameron Erving, FSU. But if Jerry chases the top need like usual then we could be screwed, because the next best DL are mostly rated now as late first rounders. Instead of moving down like last year I'd rather try to get a DL in the 2nd round because there looks to be a few quality one's projected in the middle of round 2.
Of course there's still 4 months til the draft so things will likely change between now and then. I just hope our strategy has changed and we don't just target one need or one side of the ball. We have far too many needs to do that and can't afford to bypass that many BPA.
