Here's a draft in the fantasy world where we tag + trade Ford for Luke Keuchly. While I know not every pick will be someone we had meetings with, I'm trying to make these picks with consideration to guys who we can confirm meetings. 5 of this draft's picks we've met with.
Trade Houston for picks (which I couldn't account for through this draft)
Sign Trey Flowers to replace Ford (only because of the Daly relationship)
So you're starting defense would be
D-Line:
Flowers, Jones, Nnadi, Speaks
LB:
DoD, Keuchly, Hitchens
CB:
Fuller, Oruwariye
Safety:
Berry, Adderley
You build in depth along the D-line with Nnadi's former team mate in Christmas and Miller is a guy who I think has a lot of room to grow, but currently possesses a lot of speed off the edge.
Joseph pushes DoD at linebacker
and I really like Rodney Anderson complimenting Williams + Emanuel Hall (who had a great combine) replacing Conley at WR. [Reply]
Keuchly's brains are about to turn into mush. I don't think I'd want to let Morse walk than turn around and trade for another flavor of comatose. [Reply]

It doesn't look possible to get a good S, CB, AND edge. We have enough picks to get 2 of the 3 but probably not all 3.
This safety FA class is deep enough that we can get a quality safety for cheap. Assuming Berry is back I'd get a guy like Tre Boston and then draft a CB + edge.
The thing we're ignoring with these mocks we post is Veach's talk about his FA board + draft board co-existing together.
If you want clues for what we are going to do in the draft look at where the FA market is deep. We'll likely be filling needs from where FA is the deepest and using the draft to fill in where we think it'll be tough to plug holes affordably in FA.
I think we go corner or edge in round one and sign a FA safety. [Reply]
