Round Two Options?

[captain stone]

So we've had a late day three thread and a mid-round thread so let's talk round two.

The way I see it, what happens in round two depends on two different trajectories resulting from the pick at 31.

1. If we go OT, I think EDGE will be inevitable, very possibly with a trade up.

2. If we go EDGE at 31, I think things are opened up quite a bit. There's no obvious RT at 63 to take allowing us to go in a different direction. I realise some of this has already been discussed across different threads.

So with regards to option 2 (excluding RT and EDGE) according to The Beast, the following are available in range of pick 63.

56. Treydan Stukes, CB/S, Arizona
62. Keylan Rutledge, OG, Georgia Tech
63. Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt
66. Max Klare, TE, Ohio State
67. De'Zhaun Stribling, WR, Ole Miss
72. Ted Hurst, WR, Georgia Southern

Zakee Wheatley, S, Penn St., Keionte Scott , CB/S Miami and Kyle Louis, LB/S, Pii are other possibilities.

According to the consensus big board:

58. Keylan Rutledge
60. Gennings Dunker, OG, Iowa
61. Keionte Scott
62. Josiaiah Trotter, LB, Mizzou
63. Treydan Stukes
72. Kyle Louis
75. Max Klare
77. Ted Hurst

Stowers is borderline top 50 on the consensus board so less likely.

I think all this moot if we go Iheanachor/Miller at 31. As I said, at that point, EDGE is very likely somewhere in Rnd 2. However, interior OL, TE and safety (maybe WR depending on the AJ Brown trade) do offer intriguing options if we go elsewhere in the first.

If we're lucky enough to draft Blake Miller at 31 (or 34...) then there should still be some decent DEs available at 63;

If we have to go DE at 31 (Zion Young or TJ Parker please) then I feel that Stowers/Klare (if either is available) should be the choice at 63; hopefully one of Barber or Bowry is available at 95...

Ideally we will have Blake or Max fall to us at 31 and then we have our pick of what EDGE player falls to us at 63. Not likely to happen so we either reach slightly for an EDGE tomorrow or trade down IMO.

All that to say day 2 is a complete crapshoot. LOL It's also consider the best part of the draft which again speaks to my preference to trade down from 31. If we can come away with an EDGE, a Delp/Stowers and Tiernan/Burke that would feel a lot better than reaching for an EDGE in R1 and possibly reaching for a RT in R2.

If the top 7 OTs are gone and there is no Edge we value there and can't trade back, I would have no problem with a LB in rd 1.
Rodriguez, Golday, Allen, Hill...whoever we have rated highest.
Edge in rd 2 (trade up maybe required) and OT in the 3rd.
