Draft: If it's not a QB..?

[supafreak84]

So much talk about using our 1st round pick on a QB, but what if its not? If it's not a QB, who are you liking in the draft as possibilities? I'm seeing a lot of mocks recently have us talking UCLA edge Laiatu Latu, which I could see with both Hunter and Wonnum being free agents. I personally really like Dallas Turner from Bama. 

Tons of offensive line talent. Would receiver be a possibility with Osborne hitting free agency and the shelf relatively empty behind JJ and Addison? Four of GBN's top 12 ranked players in this draft are receivers. 

Any positional players you are really liking as draft possibilities at this point?

Gotta be an Edge at 11...

If not QB, then I'm hoping for an edge.  JJ, Addison, and Hock at TE is a nice trio.  We don't need to use a 1 on a 3rd WR who'd really be the 4th option.

If it's edge I'd look at Jared Verse or Chop Robinson. I'm kind of disappointed in the DT crop as far as what we need (a true NT). Some like Newton out of IL as a 3 Tech., but he seems a bit short and slow.

WR is probably too high considering we already have JJ and Addison as a #2.

Verse I like, although he lost some ground from a few months ago when everyone thought he was a top 5 to 10 pick. Seeing a lot of latter round projections on him now. Chop Robinson just hasn't produced to be taken that high. If it's an edge I'm really hoping it's Turner or Latu although we might need to move up slightly to secure one if them. It would be great to resign both Hunter and Wonnum and invest the pick at another need position. 

Agree on the defensive tackles. An overall lackluster group at the top.

On defensive tackle, rumors we could make run at Dolphins DT Christian Wilkins who is coming off a career year with 9 sacks. Someone to monitor in free agency

Latu's neck injury scares me. It's Turner or Verse for me. There's no Edge in this draft with the upside of Bosa or Watt.

WR is the last position we should target in the first, unless at were to move JJ.  Even then I would question its need.  Teams are finding solid WR talent in day 2 and even 3, its getting easier and easier to find quality at the position, much like RB.

If not QB we need to target a new GM, and then grab IDL or IOL,  most likely in a trade down,   but it really needs to be a bold move for a QB of their liking if the stakes aren't stupid.

CW
Maye
Harry JR
Alt
Bowers
Daniels
Nabers
Latu
Turner

All trade up targets for me although CW and Maye are gone 1-2, so no chance 

this is a deep draft for edge, CB, OT. 

I think we trade down for JJ or Nix try to get our 3 rd back.

Edge, DL, CB, then maybe IOL  Defense needs to be retooled.
