It would be beneficial if we knew what sort of D we will be playing moreso in the secondary.
Minnesota didn't invest heavy in CB, but they did at Safety. Using that rational Downs makes a ton of sense at 7 over Delane.
Listening to Keim it sounds like Styles is worth a high pick if he can rush the passer, he mentions having a the LB coach from OSU on who said Styles would play the Reese role if Reese was not on the team. To me, that sounds like a big projection.
Styles looks a lot like Tremaine Edwards to me...
Brugler did a 7 rounder, we took Love over Tate.
Downs went to NYG, Styles to DAL at 6 (trade up w CLE).
I would prefer Tate, but would be happy with Love.
Had us taking Hurst at 71
I would not trade down if it meant passing on any of Tate, Love or Downs. Love and Downs are blue chip, Tate is the best at a premium position of need.
Styles is IMO by far the best MLB in the draft, so maybe he falls in the above category as well (edit)
If all 3 are gone, I am not sure that...
I know that fans want to win now and the team wants to contend before JD's next contract, but a trade down netting a other 1st next year would be tempting
I would be disappointed if we take a CB over Downs, Safety looks to have a great deal of value in the Flores style D, moreso than CB and Downs is still a better prospect than Delane or McCoy.
