No elite WR prospects (I don't think Blackmon is elite)
This first round is lacking in impact players at impact positions. I see lots of good players but not many great players.
I'd rather take my chances by deferring until next year where we might get a better choice of players to fit our needs. Our best chances this year are at Safety (Barron) and OG (DeCastro) or a couple of DL that can't rush the passer (Cox or Brockers). I'm sorry but that is slim pickings and you can usually get similar players in the second rounds of most drafts.

Last year we really lucked out with Tyron dropping to us so I hope the same thing happens to us this year with Coples. Otherwise I'll take the trade down route. |
You and I are way apart on this year's draft class. Coples is actually one of the few guys I don't want and don't think is an elite prospect.
