And if they do draft a lineman, there will be posts about how it’s the wrong one, and/or a reach. Happens every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no doubt, I just felt it necessary to get in some snark while making my prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric dunn Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I personally wouldnt mind Wilkins at all i think hes going to be a stud. Id be happy with quite a few guys at 18, Jonah/Taylor/Dillard/Ford/Risner/Bradbury/Wilkins/Burns/Ferrell/Fant/Hock/Sweat. A few guys i wouldnt be happy with, McGary/Little/any CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With them signing Kline I have a hard time seeing them spend 2 of their first 3 picks on o line unless they make a trade or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect 2 in the first 4 rounds personally. A real throw a ton of people at the problem and hope 5 decent ones stick situation. Kline signed for good backup/bad starter money. To pencil him in as a starter seems like terrible resource management imo. My ideal draft scenario: Dillard is there at 18, the texans give us their 3rd to move up We take Bradbury in the 1st, a WR in the 2nd, and Tytus howard and Gerald Willis fall to us in the Third. With the 4th I'd take Gary Johnson because he is my draft man crush lol. fill out depth with like a safety, rb, maybe another wr and probably a corner (or hyper athletic DE that falls for some reason)...because of course lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisplacedViking Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I would be ecstatic with Wilkins, he's phenomenal both on and off the field and fits the culture that has been developed. There are only a few players that I prefer ahead of him, and none of them are interior offensive linemen or tight ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also even if one is there and we pass on them but get someone like Lindstrom in round two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue with passing on one at 18 is that it virtually forces you to take one at 50, or to get aggressive and move up to take one. Hoping that one of the plug and play o-linemen is there at 50 is a massive gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree, it makes getting an OL at 50 or moving up to get one important, but reaching on one in round one so you don't reach on one in round two.... you see where I'm going with that.

Unless they feel he's a starter and have him on their board for pick 18. I'd imagine one of the top 5 OL should be available at 18. Value wise, most of them are extremely close anyway. It's hard to say it's a reach and even so, we might be talking a few picks, at which point, who cares. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said in my first post, if the top OL prospects are gone, you aren't drafting a sure fire starter and passing on Wilkins who would likely start.
