31: DT Kenneth Grant - Michigan
63: CB Trey Amos - Mississippi
66: LT Wyatt Milnum - West Virginia
95: WR Xavier Restrepo - Miami
132: RB Ollie Gordon II - Oklahoma State
256: TE Luke Lachey - Iowa
Use our top two picks to add young cheats playmakers on the defense. These picks not add talent at premium defensive positions, but they make our stars on the defense even better. Want to get the most out of Jones in the next two-3 years, but a guy like Grant next to him. Want to help McDuffie, go pair him with a boundry corner. How do you manage the cap, you can spend money on Jones and McDuffie when you balance out the books with cheap contracts at the same position group for the length of those contract. Veach is great at this BTW.
Then the focus needs to change to the offense. I'd love a safety, LB, edge guy, but the offense needs attention, and when you are paying Mahomes, you need cheap young talent.
I get that Milnum isn't Joe Alt, but the dude is a legit pass blocking LT, and if he's there I'm going to take him over a running back like Henderson or Johnson and I'd feel great about it.
At 95 the running backs I'd love to have are gone, but adding a guy like Restrepo to pair wit Rice and Worthy would be fun. When and if Kelce leaves, I want to find Pat his own Wes Welker/Julian Edelman.
Running back is deep in this draft, so I think its important not to freak out. Ollie Gordon is a talented back that you can get for a discount because he didn't live up to the hype this season, but the talent is there.
Not sure Lachey would be there at the end of the draft, but if he is I'd be all over it. He's been in QB hell at Iowa, at this point in the draft he's worth a flier here.
