If we did get Ersery and Burch as the next two picks after Nolen, I'd feel like that was a very... average-looking haul.
With Martinez, who I like but not what I see as needed, I'd walk away from this one feeling like we got positional fits, but it's far from "dreamy" outside of actually getting Nolen.

If he's there around pick 18 you have to start working the phones to move up.
That whole "We see 12 1st rounders in this draft" thing we used with McDuffie would apply perfectly here. He is, without question, a 1st round talent by any reasonable definition.
And there aren't 20+ 1st round talents in this draft.
He's a blue chip guy you move up to get if you can. The whole "we just don't know if he loves football" thing isn't enough to push me off him. Not even close.
