It is amazing how arrogant you are with your posts and that no one else can have an opinion that differs, but hey you do you.

News came out this week that the Vikings REALLY wanted Irish safety Xavier Watts in the 3rd round last year. We were at 97, Falcons traded up to 96 and took him there, so we traded back to 102 and got jumped again. This time for Saivion Jones, the DT from LSU. We took a DT later in the 5th, but after missing on Watts, we never drafted a safety at all, or even brought one in as a UDFA, so that has to be a high priority this year. Problem is, right now, Caleb Downs is the only safety worth taking in the 1st and we may not be picking high enough to land him.
Corner probably has the best value in the middle first with Delane, McCoy and AJ Terrell's brother all bunched in the middle teens.
Kwesi being outmanuevered in the draft!? You don't say...
Downs definately will be gone when we pick. I've mentioned this before, but this article by Matt Miller highlights that there are annually only about 15 players in every draft that are truly worthy of being 1st round picks. He goes over those players for this upcoming draft. Interestingly, he has zero cornerbacks in that group. So, certainly hoping we don't "force" a cornerback in the first if the value isn't there

A consensus ranking of 80 big boards puts the corners at 14, 15 and 20.

Stick and pick candidates right now with a chance to blow up. McDonald, Styles, Faulk, McCoy.

That lines up with most boards I'm currently seeing. The problem with this group of corners is they all have their warts and there's no consensus or alpha. There are some "in the know" that have Cisse as the #1 corner. I'm not against going corner first, but I just hope we don't draft a lesser player because of perceived need. Take the best and most impactful guy available

When you hear words like "boi's" and other alternative sexual inuindos, you are certainly the first board member that comes to mind. I hope you've patented some of your cringy catch phrases and charge Sticky accordingly...
