I would like Arden Key. I heard he slimmed down from 270 to 255. He probably needs to be at 270+ to play that base DE we need. Hopefully he's worked out whatever personal issues he has/had.

Meh. We don't need another pass-rusher right away. Hayes has been great, Branch is solid, and Harris is coming along. Plus I think Wake plays one more year. Probably a position we target in the 3rd. OL, TE, CB, and LB are much bigger needs.

Either Quenton Nelson, Roquan Smith, or Minkah Fitzpatrick. Nelson helps solidify the OL especially with Pouncey most likely gone after this year. Pairing Roquan and Raekwon up takes our front seven to another level. Fitzpatrick fits the mold of a Jalen Ramsey but I think he plays better at S.

Hayes is a FA in 2017, and if Wake plays beyond 2018, he a situational passrusher. I like Key if he can show he can set the edge and play the run. I like Ejiofor later in the 1st round.

I think we'll end up in the middle of the draft again, and Key will most likely be gone - if he goes where he's capable of going.

Q. Nelson would be a solid pick there, as of now. I won't rule out Orlando Brown if Ju'wuan James leaves.

If this scenario played out, with the Bengals on the clock and all of the QBs still there, I'm trading back to the highest bidder.  I get that Dalton isn't great, and that rosen could be, but we have to fix the line first.  And with all the QBs still there, there would be plenty of interest.  Look what Cleveland turned the Wentz pick into.  Not saying we'd get that much and keep trading back, but we absolutely could get enough to grab two OTs and a center in the first couple of rounds just off the trade back.

Why a strong safety? I'd argue Atlanta's biggest needs in the 2018 draft are a WR, a DT and an OG.

Free Safety. I was reading up that they need a ball hawking free safety. Do you think this guy can't play free safety. I considered slotting Sam Hubbard here.

Cleveland blundered the Wentz pick by not picking Wentz

Key would make your pass rush deadlier.

They don;t really need a FS either with how Allen is playing and how Kazee fits.

If he can revert back to the 2016 version then I'm all for it. That's not looking likely so far. And again, that's not our biggest need. We don't get a lot of turnovers and we still can't open holes up for Ajayi so the focus should be to improve one of those two areas in the 1st, thus Nelson, Minkah, or R Smith.
