    Ideally I would trade back and get a 2nd rounder and pick TE Trey McBride

    You fail to mention how going this route worked out when we drafted Big Jeff. I also don't think you can include Isaiah Wilson in your reasoning here either. His issue wasn't because of injury, it was because he was lazy and didn't care.

    Williams could be a game changer for this offense and give us the speed option we have lacked and so desperately needed for years.

    I'm not saying Wilson fit into that criteria of risky picks. I was just noting that we got no production from him. And barely got any production from Farley. So taking another player we likely won't get any production from in year 1 is a pretty risky gamble. That's basically 3 straight years without getting any production in year 1 from your 1st round pick. That isn't something most teams can afford to have happen.

    We need immediate contribution from this pick..Wilson was a turd and Farley was risky...we hit on Simmons though.

    McBride, even if we take him with our 26 could be good value because he is a a great blocker. Thus he should be able to step in from day one and replace Swaim with a better option all around. I doubt any pick is going to be fully contributing but that is one guy who should be able to play early.

    Also, there simply are not many TEs coming out of college with solid inline skills. A well rounded player like that is rare. I'd prefer to trade back a little and take him but after seeing how well he can block, how he fits our personality as a physical player and the void he can fill quickly I'd be fine if we did use our #26 on him.

    Some mid round guys I think J_Rob will have high interest in. I have included their average draft position based on several mock draft boards:

    Damone Clark, LB, LSU. 2021 Butkus Award runner up. He's great in space and is a good coverage LB. Should be a perfect replacement for Jayon Brown if he moves on this off-season. ADP range: 60-100

    Alec Lindstrom, C, BCU. Remington Award finalist. 2nd team All American. 3 year starter. Comes from an NFL family. Solid replacement if we don't bring back Ben Jones. ADP: 80-120

    Daniel Faalele, OT, Minnesota. Biggest man in the draft. If J-Rob was enamored with Isaiah Wilson's size, he will be blown away by this young man. Very raw, particularly in pass protection, as Minnesota is a running based offense. But his run blocking ability and his size are specifically why he is a great fit. ADP: 55-110

    Lectius Smith, G, VT. 4 year starter, so loads of experience (which J-Rob obviously loves). Plays with a mauler mentality. Should be a really good fit for our offense. ADP: 90-150.

    Marcus Jones, CB, Houston. His size would seem to be a deterrent, but you can't teach the speed he possesses. He also has loads of experience. Would make a very good depth as a slot corner, but probably not physically able to match up on the outside. Beyond that, he is arguably the best kick/punt return man in the draft, and we desperately need to improve in that area. ADP: 120-170.

    Might as well use our 1st round pick to draft GoT to be the new waterboy.

    I do like what I've read about Jones, the return game needs a boost for sure
