I don’t think they will with the first 2, but I think there’s a good chance they do with 2 out of the first 3. [Reply]

I sure hope they wouldn't see Arden Key as a reason not to go DT early. He's not a long term answer. [Reply]
It’s hard to know how much they value the position. Veach seems to think day 2, and particular the 3rd, is the sweet spot.
Would he really take a DT that isn’t a potentially elite pass rusher early?
That’s why I have a bit of a hard time buying that he’d actually take somebody like Jones with one of those 1st the more I think about it.
Don’t get me wrong, Jones is a legit 3 down DT, but without that elite pass rush upside, I don’t think he’d take him until we’re picking at 50. [Reply]

I think he'd take one very early if he's looking for a 3-tech but I just don't think he is for a guy to play the 1. He'll probably look day 2 for that like he has in the past (3rd round). [Reply]

That’s similar to my thinking as well.
I can see him taking Wyatt in the 1st. Maybe even Winfrey.
But I don’t think they’d take Jones that early. I think they’d love to have him at 50 though.
They probably view him similar to Bolton and Humphrey. A really good/safe low positional value pick that could be a steal in the 2nd. [Reply]
#15. WR Williams or London (Trade up: #30 + #62 + 2023 4th)
#29. DT Wyatt or Leal
#50. DE Ibiketie, Enagbare, Thomas, Williams or Bonito
#94. DE Jackson, Sanders, Pascal, Malone or Isaiah
Fill in the rest with DB, LB, RT, WR, RB
Let's use some of those picks to target a new star at WR and lock him in for 5. If Wyatt is there at #29, awesome, if not Leal probably will be and might be the better option ultimately. [Reply]
