Smart. No just saying we could go a different direction with that pick. Like trade it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could go in a lot of different directions, and a slot should be in the conversation. Especially if a talent like Alexander is sitting there.

And taking reid opens up Jenkins to play more slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd safety plays less than the slot CB? I get you want to move on from McLeod in 2019 but Darby is just as likely to be gone by then. The need for a slot CB and a 3rd S are at worst equal and the slot CB will make more of an impact year 1. If Jaire is gone, id heavily consider Jesse Bates over Reid. He can kind of play both slot CB and 3rd Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking Reid will open up Jenkins a good slot corner to play slot if need be. But also just for future needs as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in reality I'm just not that big on Alexander. I know everyone loves him and thinks he'll be the best corner in the draft but meh I guess I am dumb. I would take Reid over him.

Kiltman Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Reid is a good versatile player, I think with how they used Corey Graham last year and how McLeod’s lack of versatility hurt us last year a bit (see exposing coverage with every motion in the super bowl) it’s a position they could look into bolstering. Rodney could be moved in two years if I remember correctly. as for the punter thing, it’s really only a pick that you get crap for if they suck (see henery) But they better be really good. Because you can always find a guy to do an ok job in FA or an UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlesthought Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Starting to dislike trading down for picks this year. We don’t have the room on the 53 for 6+ rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know this? I counted like 38 guaranteed spots or so. That leaves quite a bit up for grabs. And, even if some of the later round picks don't make the 53 man roster that doesn't mean we won't put them on IR or the practice squad to stash them. We need as much young talent as we can get with our cap situation and the Wentz contract looming. Howie realizes this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
