Didn’t we sign a Safety last night.
We signed a CB and a LB’er.
I’ve been thinking the same thing
The positional value concern is real but we need BPA period. If they deem him as best bet so be it.

If Hutch is there, I think you run to the podium and take him.
If he is not, then I hope anything and everything is in play. Hamilton: positional value is low, but I like Hock and his positional value was low too. Ickey: Might be my favorite, but adding to a strength when there is so many weaknesses seems a luxury that we cannot afford. KT: Might have highest ceiling, but there will always be questions. Trade down: never seems to work out, but if the price is right…
Let’s see what Vegas knows.

I would think it is probably a 51% chance we take KT if Hutch goes 1OA. I think the red flags are fairly overblown on him and the guy has a tremendously high ceiling and is a plug in and play starter day 1.
You simply cannot have enough pass rush and it is a position of need. While I think Walker has eye popping measurable and would be a good fit here i think taking everything into account you take KT over him when all is said and done.
Hamilton is the other option and like KT is a plug in and play day one guy who has a very high ceiling but I think we can get a solid starting safety at 32 or 34. While there is depth at edge I would take KT at 2 and Brisker at 32/34 all day over Hamilton and Enegbare/Ebiketie

What are Nakobi Dean’s odds? I’d throw a few bucks at a speedy, smart alpha LB with the high end character and leadership skills this staff is looking for.
Also, you can’t tell me some Lions’ scout’s wife’s friend isn’t gonna end up making absolute bank playing these ponies.
Going off reports there is a far greater chance Dean falls out of the first round than going top 5

I talked up Hamilton a TON this year. He has all the ability to be a star.
I’d still take Walker or Thibodeaux over him at 2.

Hell, id take Hill, Cine or Pitre over him at 2. Future bust, book it.

The odds on the first four are pretty close. I was kind of surprised that Willis was up there.
If our staff really wants Willis, it would probably be wise to not let on that you want him, lest someone jump you and trade with Jax. Just sayin.
I’d be OK with any of the first four. Please not Thibs.
Remember way back a month ago when the debate here was which of the two edge we were going to have as a choice after the first one was taken.
And how many(most) thought we would be stuck with Hutchinson because he was the second best edge player behind Thibodeaux.
The narrative at that time was that Hutchinson was more polished and pro ready day 1 but that Thibbs had significantly more upside…
Good times those were

I suspect by this time next month the narrative will flip back to what it was a month ago…back to which ever pass rusher Jax leaves for us at #2.

Hamilton is one of if not the top prospect in the draft. I hate a safety at 2 but he is supposed to be a generational talent. I might know of a team that needs a safety 
Watch the Jags throw everyone a curve-ball and take him #1. Nothing is out of the question when it comes to the Jaguars.
I still think Thibodeaux ends up a more productive pro than Hutchinson.

I don’t think either of them are going to be all-pro guys IMO. I see Hutch as an over drafted 6-8 sack- high motor guy. I think Thibodeaux is going to be a bust.

I don’t like the pick at 2. This class is too deep at safety talent. I think we can get someone just as good at 32 or 34.

This class is deep at Safety. Very deep. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to me to use 2OA on a Safety when you can grab any of the other highly rated guys significantly lower at a bargain basement price. Any of these other guys could become better pros than Hamilton. The position is stacked this year.
Daxton Hill
Jalen Pitre
Jaquan Brisker
Lewis Cine

Whatever about being better than Hamilton you would think that all those guys especially the top 4 are guys who have the potential to be day one starters for us and play a lot of snaps over the course of their rookie deal. Pitre and Hill are very intriguing players, Pitre for his versatility and Hill for his speed while someone like Brisker would be a nice compliment to Walker and be sound very early in his career you would think.
I think Hamilton looks a stud but I think the opportunity cost of taking him at 2OA is too high given that the better edge and interior guys will be gone by 32.
