There is no way, at least that I can envision, that we go through the draft without making trades.
But, if that were to happen, the following is a draft that I could live with.
Not even going guess about free agency at this point.
1 7th Blaine Gabbert QB Missouri 6' 4" 234 4.61
Future franchise quarter back. Best scenario would have him sitting
for a whole year.
2 43rd Brandon Harris CB Miami 5' 10" 191 4.46
Clements will not be here. Harris will be a starting CB next, and for
years to come.
3 76th Sam Acho OLB Texas 6' 2" 262 4.67
Still leaves us with a need for a pass rushing OLB, but fills a big need.
4a 108 Stephen Schilling OG Michigan 6' 4" 308 5.18
Need to fortify the interior line. Rachel has to step up, or sit down.
4b 115 Owen Marecic FB Stanford 6' 1" 248 4.87
Just like the guy. Mean and tough.
5 141 Roy Helu RB Nebraska 6' 0" 219 4.40
Competition for back-up. Like him better than Anthony Dixon.
6a 170 Cedric Thornton DE S. Arkansas 6' 4" 300 5.25
Eventually, will prove to be excellent value pick. Has potential to be
a starter, but at least will solid in rotation.
6b 190 Aldrick Robinson WR SMU 5'10" 184 4.35
Steal of the draft. Fast and fearless, will be starting slot in two years.
7a 211 Anthony Gray DT Southern Miss 5' 11" 325 5.08
Will provide solid back-up at NT. RJF has to start this year.
7b 231 Shiloh Keo SS Idaho 5' 11" 219 4.74
Special teams ace and dime back. Loves the game. Non-stop motor.
7c 239 Mark LeGree FS Appalachian St. 6' 0" 210 4.49
FCS all American for three years with 22 picks in those years.
7d 250 T.J. Yates QB UNC 6' 3" 219 5.06
Long-term back-up. Smart. if necessary, can function in the NFL.
