That second question where the guy says his draft priorities in order are RB second makes me want to smack him with a wet noodle.

In no world should RB be our second priority in this draft.

DT and Safety as draft priorities are exactly right, with RB and a project CB later on.

I would add project TE as well and in this draft we should be able to get a very good developmental guy in the 4th or 5th.

S, DT and DE with RB in there somewhere. I wouldn't pass on a TE either if one fell in our laps

I thought Hyder is a DE, the way he answered the question makes him seem he is thinking he is a DT.

True Covington adds depth at DT and Hyder adds depth at DE.
Right now the DT are Collins, Covington, Woods, Ross, Crawford, if they will actually leave him there. So yes, still need a DT in the draft.
DT then S or S then DT. Then look at RB unless a better player is there no matter what position.

Experience is the best teacher. He was pretty good for us a season ago and hopefully he adds to what he learned a season ago.

Assuming tank signs
DT
S
OT
RB
CB
But my biggest concern is just get good players and don’t reach to fill a need

I dont know if the club has made an actual statement, but the idea of Hyder playing inside has been tossed around in the media

He played as a 3/4 DE i suspect is why
But he was pretty good as a 4/3 DE before he got injured

I actually think RB is actually a pretty high priority, but it's also a priority that can be addressed adequately in round 5 or even round 7. Where as its unlikely an impact safety or DT will be found that late.
