Your point on McNeil is one of the reasons i'm not against trading down. We have specific holes, where we really struggle.... run blocking/pocket collapsing DT, FS and a CB.
We arent looking necessarily looking for a 3 down 3-tech DT, nor a Safety that can play in the slot....we can focus on players strengths. eg I dont care McNeil doesnt get to the QB, I just want him to occupy the O-Line/push the pocket and create gaps for Gregory, Gallimore/Hill, Tank, Neal and Jaylon.
Look at Holland for instance, he'd possibly go first round if he had the body to play in the slot.....well we wouldnt be playing him there, we're already stacked at that position, we need a FS so the VALUE to us is in his FS play, which could well be graded in 1st round.
