With Gilmore and Cooks traded for and add in Vander, and those 3 needs you can take off of the need at 26. That leaves G, RB, as the biggest needs. Well NT but we all know they'll never draft one this early if it all. As much as media is saying TE the only TE worth a RD1 pick is Mayer. The rest are big reaches. The game tape doesn't match the combine. They play limited and need alot of development. There is way better value later with guys like Kraft and Lachlan. Kraft interests me the most. If he was in the SEC he'd be aTop 15 pick IMO.
So that leaves G, and RB of course BPA , but if Bijan is there he'd clearly be the BPA.
GUARDS
ROUND1
O'Cyrus Torrence
John Michael Schmitz
ROUND2
Steve Avila
IMO Dallas would have to draft Torrence or Schmitz in round 1, reach a little for Schmitz because he won't be there probably going early 2nd. I'd prefer Schmitz because oof his pass blocking. His run game needs a little work but it's easier to coach that than pass blocking which Torrence needs help with. That and his ability to play C. His knock are the shorter arms.
Then there's RB, Bijan Robinson. Do you take the best player in the draft, or pass up a a star because media tells you dont draft iRbs in round 1. IMO if he's there I think Dallas locksnin and takes a guy like Avila in round 2.
When it's all said and done, you ant pass on elite talent. Are the 2 guards so much better than Avila? Are the TEs even first rounders? If Bijan is there at 26, with what the team has done in FA Bijan is the easy choice IMO.
