I am super high on both Hampton and Henderson. Golden is a burner. Pearce can rush the passer but isn't that big. Rather load up on defense and oline in this draft especially with the earlier picks.

Trading down may be the best idea of all unless there is a guy they have to have. More likely to get impactful players. Giants and Browns already trying to trade down.

7 is my choice. Based on most I’ve read, this class has like 20 first round grade guys. Then 21-to like 55 are all close in grades. Depends on our flavor.

Hairston is interesting…who knows. Best Guard available? Maybe

If they take a RB, I think the fan base would be electrified because we would be taking another highly visible/ ball dominant offensive weapon.

Also it would be a nod from the front office that they are satisfied enough with the roster that we have the luxury of making that pick at this place in time. I secretly would love a RB pick at 29

I get the impression that the FO is looking for players who are explosive and can make game-changing plays.

I've read that they would love to have a complete three-down RB who is explosive. Both Hampton and Henderson run and catch the ball very well, are known for their excellent pass protection and they don't put the ball on the ground. Hampton is the bigger back and Henderson is the home run hitter of the two.

I also read that they would like to round out the WR group with a so-called "vertical slot" player. So they've spent more time with WR's who are quick and have blazing speed, such as Jayden Noel (4.39), and Tai Felton (4.37).

I think it’s a 100% chance we come away with a RB this draft.

60% of the time, you draft a running back every time.

I'm good with Robinson, Rodriguez, McNichols and hopefully Ekeler. Rumor he may get cut for the cap. Sure hope not. Rodriguez and McNichols are underrated. We have a star running qb who is also a star passing qb. Much rather use picks other than a rb which we are solid at. We need more defense and oline.

I totally disagree with this post. They lack explosive plays and it's clear they want to upgrade from B Rob who simply does not supply that. One long TD run by Swift totally changed the Chicago game, they need a player who can turn around a game with one play. The rest are fine but this offense needs a real weapon that defenses need to account for.

I agree

Brob was a let down last half of the year, left yards on the field. He just doesn’t have the vision and he’s never had the speed.

With the threat of JD5 legs in the backfield…defenses have to key or at least dedicate a guy to that run responsibly on every play. There is a massive opportunity for a talented ball carrier alongside Number 5. There are big plays and yards available, we need an RB who can take advantage.

Robinson averaged 4.3 yards a carry last year and put up 800 yards. Ekeler is already explosive and averaged nearly 5 yards a a carry last year and is a beast on returns. Rodriguez Jr. also averaged nearly 5 yds a carry last year and is tough and physical. McNichols also averaged nearly 5 yds a carry last year. We don't need Saquon Barkley to win a SB and we aren't getting Ashton Jeanty.

These numbers above are fine especially when you have qb who is a star running for nearly 900 yds last year himself.

Where are you seeing they want to upgrade from Robinson?

Our RB is just ok. We don’t have that bellcow back. Sorry, BRob isn’t it. RB is a position we can improve and this draft does have a little rb depth. I can see us drafting a rb in Rounds 2-4.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Draft a playmaker. I don't care what position. We need someone that can make explosive plays.

I think we draft the BC Edge defender if he is available.

And I'm 99% likely to be dead wrong.
