Trade down and still get Corley?

Yes please.

[jebrick]

I have to think a bit about Sweat.  The difference between him and Hall ( the next DT) is quite large.  The difference between Corley  and Roman Wilson,  not so much.  But Fiske is on the list so perhaps we can wait.  Payton Wilson is interesting in this spot.

Yea I like Corley but I think positions scarcity is a factor here.

No OTs or CBs?

Malachi Corley and an added pick! I am loving it as well.

I'd take Sweat or Corley, depending on which you think will slip 5 more spots. If there are some DT needy teams behind you, take Sweat. Same for WR needy teams and Corley. Coming away with both those guys would be awesome.

I took Sweat, love his play in our defense and think WR is plenty deep to get a star in the next pick or two

Guess I'm not as high on Corely as some

Basically a RB , who will have to learn how to run NFL Routes , you'll have to manufacturer touches for a few years 

Menace with the ball in his hands though 

With that said I take the NT , run defense has not been good for years, add in Derrick Henry and Nick Chubb is in the division 

Depth at WR too is a plus

Sweat or Fiske , P. Wilson is best player there but the health and next years great ILB class make that not very wise. Have a feeling R Wilson has Tomlins interest even though not as ideal as other guys for us. 

The trade looked like a good idea but not loving the fallout at this point.

OTs are the same

Roger Rosengarten OT Washington

Kiran Amegadjie OT Yale

Blake Fisher OT Notre Dame

 

CB:

Mike Sainristil CB Michigan

D.J. James CB Auburn

Jarvis Brownlee CB Louisville

Corely "replacements" are more plentiful. If you pass on Corely there are a few more options (Roman/Polk/Pearsall/Legette/McMillan/Walker...etc). However, Sweat and Wilson "replacements" are more limited (Sweat/Fiske and Wilson/Cooper). This is a great problem to have!

Corley. Easily.

You’d have to move Benton to DE If you’re taking Sweat…or am I missing something?

[jebrick]

What I do not like about Sweat is his motor.  That is always the knock on him.  Do you need an NT like Hampton or one like Chris Hoke/Kessel. Fiske is a high motor 1 tech that would be closer to a 3 down player than Sweat ( IMHO).  Sweat is special but how long until he is a 2 down player?  Does he make it out of his rookie contract as a 3 down player?

That’s a good point.
