I have not looked a lot at actual prospects as much as just needs but here are my thoughts. Once I look at players more closely which I will in the off season I'll have a better idea of who specific I want for sure.
We didn't have a lot of spots open last year and have less this year. I want to move up. Also people here probably know last year I was willing to trade a future pick for a good player. This year I am even more willing provided a guy falls that is worth it. I am willing for them to trade a 3rd or even 2nd to move up but I want instant impact particularly on the DL somewhere and particularly for the pass rush.
Dante Fowler looks versatile and like a play maker
Alvin Dupree seems like an option too
Guys will move up and down as we learn more but I want to get a top guy whoever it is.
I am happy moving up (and have advocated it as a possibility) for one of Shawn Oakman, Alvin Dupree, Dante Fowler, Brandon Scherff, and possibly TJ Clemmings.
As others have raised, the other position of interest in this draft is DT. I'm usually a DT hog, but I've been in the "DE, not DT" group so far. But Danny Shelton, Eddie Goldman, Malcolm Brown and Ellis McCarthy are a very interesting group - all big, physical DTs, but more than just space eaters. Something to jeep in mind.
