Kingsley prob played LG because he needed an in game experience

There's a shot they take a CB early, but my guess is no earlier than pick 95.
I think it's VERY likely going to be DL or OL, with a small chance it's a RB/CB/WR. Maybe a LB if Jihaad Campbell somehow fell.
Edwards completely slipped my brain. I went through a phase where I felt Nick Emmanwori would be the prototypical safety for a Spags defense, but I can't see us moving up for him.
Sticking with my "want a receiver, expect a d-lineman" thought. [Reply]

I could see them taking Starks.
I don't see a 1st round CB.
Burden wouldn't shock me at all. I feel like they will REALLY like what he can bring to the table.
I agree that it shouldn't.
But Veach didn't even mention S as a possibility in the 1st, and he did mention CB. I don't think it's a coincidence that the positions he didn't mention were QB, IOL, S, LB, and RB.
They just don't seem to value the position too highly, and they have what is arguably a full room. I can see them adding one, but I don't think it will be in the 1st. I think CB is more likely.
I also don't think Starks is going to make it to 31 anyways, but like I said with Campbell, sure that would at least be a possibility if he fell. Still don't think they're taking either position and both guys are gone. [Reply]
