    Very good pick for the Colts. Vikings fans on our thread believe this is Grigson's best draft pick (outside of Luck, of course).

     

    My Vikes are coming up. My guys Karl Joseph and Sheldon Rankins are gone. I want Doctson but Houston may take him. I don't mind getting Jack for an all-Bruins LB corps. We've been dreaming this and it may come to pass. Still want Doctson. 

    You have good taste!  And Texans took Fuller :D, Doctson should be yours

    I'm not a believer in this "best player available" horse crap. If the best player at #18 is a QB or WR, we CAN'T take them. Even if it was Goff. You draft to find starters to fill holes. You won't see Tennessee take Elliot if he falls to them, or Carolina take Goff if he falls to them, it just doesn't make sense.

    :facepalm: I don't care that you are not a "believer" in this approach, to each their own, but at least make sure you actually understand what it means...there are about multiple threads on this very site where this topic is discussed at length, I recommend reading at least one of them...maybe you will see it is not as black and white as you are making it.

    This where GMs also could have a multiple year strategy involved.  If you think we will get one or two comp picks next year for the net loss of Freeman, Fleener, Lowery, you might afford to trade next year's 2nd rounder to leapfrog the three spots to get ahead of Detroit. 

    So we're using a 1st (~15) and next year's 2nd on Kelly now?  Sorry, if I missed something earlier in the convo

    Would you trade next years No. 1 for

    The interior pressure for the team is pretty good.  Langford led the team in sacks and Anderson will surely bring more once healthy.  Meanwhile, edge pressure for the team is pathetic.  Outright pathetic.  Could the interior of the line be upgraded?  Of course.  But it's one of the stronger position groups while edge pressure is the weakest part of the defense.  There is a huge difference between them.  

    My thought is that getting push/pressure up the middle is going to prevent the QB from being able to step up in the pocket consistently, allowing for the guys coming around on the edges to have a better play on him...I mean, our D line played better than expected, but was still quite average. Wilkerson would likely make it one of the better ones in the nfl, especially from am interior pass rush aspect, which would positively impact the rest of the defense. You're obviously much higher on the current D line than I am though.

    Yeah when there are players with no injury concerns, it's hard to go with Joseph. But if he's there at #32, maybe they would trade back up for him. Maybe even #31, that way you have the fifth year option. 

    Easy there, you're getting me excited :D...somehow Rankins/Lawson slip to 18...trade up for Joseph :billiejean:...just setting myself up for disappointment, but might as well dream before reality sets in...
