Really Starting to Warm Up to Xavier McKinney at 18

feel like we have to get a tackle that is ready to start over davenport week 1, and if we need 18 to do that, i'd rather go that direction and get some sort of chinn/delpit and swift/dobbins combo with 26/39.
 
Delpit would be nice as well, still eyeing Surtain Jr. next year, also...

Lot of good players. I'm just not that great at eyeing safety talent unless they're an obvious ball hawk, ala Hooker, or heavy hitter. I just like how he gets his man on the ground fast.
 
Ashtyn Davis at the top, no question.

Then, I just really like a Jeremy Chinn. Completely understand that he is a possible bust, but think he has the potential to be an absolute weapon and star on D.
 
I like him, but I think not at 18. We pick to a top 15 player falling to 18 because of others team’s drafting for need.

The other scenario is packaging the 18th pick with a 3rd or 4th round pick to move up 3 or 4 spots, another scenario that doesn’t involve McKinney.

We have 14 draft picks and we will likely sign a handful of UFA’s. There’s no way we go into camp with 20 rookies. I expect us to make at least a few trade ups in order to shrink the rookie pool. 18 looks like an ideal spot to do so.

I agree, usually somebody falls right in our laps lately in the teens.

Hopefully, a video of Beckton singing "Imagine" surfaces on draft day...
 
I really like McKinney but for me this draft is all about QB and OL. The run on OL will be fast and furious and we can’t afford to be left in the dust. The depth at safety is pretty solid. Winfield Jr, Dugger, Ashtyn Davis, Chinn, Delpit all guys I like that are gonna be available in the 2-3 range
 
He’s good, but there is also good value to be had at safety in the second round, for example with Winfield, Davis or Chinn. I’d like to see the second first-round pick used on a tackle. The drop-off in tackles in that range is greater than the drop-off in safeties.
