Do they try Douglas there?
That’s all I can think of
I would try to find a way to get 3 rd 2 picks here. If you get a TE, a WR, and maybe that CB like Ringo, you've got a stew going.
Not sure. I am not one for moving CB to Safety. I think it worked for Woodson because he came down on the slot often and he was a hall of famer.
Douglas was awful inside. I don’t think he can do it. He’s a one or two year stop gap as depth at corner and gone.

Or do you reach and pick a guy who's gonna be mediocre or worse?
If you're going to take some safeties, take a few later on and see what happens, unless someone falls into your lap in the second round. But who?

I like the three Alabama guys. Battle, Branch and Hellams. I think Battle and Branch will be gone by the end of round two and Hellams you can probably get day 3.
Skinner is also interesting. Hurt and couldn't test but he is big and physical, something they can use to replace Amos.
I am thinking you could possibly keep Savage at nickel, reduce Douglas's role with Stokes coming back, then you would have to replace the safeties position completely.
I like Battle. Branch is fine as a slot corner. Hellams got burned a lot.
Haven't watched Skinner. After Aaron Rouse and Kevin King, I'm wary of giant secondary players.
I think they will take a safety, but I would be very surprised if it was before R3. Carpenter is moving from S to LB, so they have one less ST safety from what feels like a group of 20. If the season were to start today it's probably Savage and Ford starting. Maybe they figure it won't matter that much with Barry still at DC and Jerry Gray now gone.
Rasul might be able to move to safety, but all indications have been that he's staying at corner. If he's staying at corner, he should be an outside corner, not a slot guy. Full stop.
He's not a bad player at all, but I don't know if he's around after this season with his contract.
Their secondary is such a weird collection of players. It feels like the old square peg/round hole dilemma with roster and scheme, compounded by having a drooling idiot controlling the pegs.
Maybe they'll take a couple of safeties with those fifth- and sixth-round picks they have.
That fourth rounder's going to be their next offensive tackle - maybe on the right side. Watch.

If it's an OT it's gonna be Freeland or Saldiveri.
Dawand Jones is supposedly a big character risk type. Shutting down at the Senior Bowl after one day and not doing much at the Combine or Pro Day turned off a lot of scouts.
No idea who they'll pick, but I do think they take at least one player at CB, S, and WR. Probably two DL.
At WR I'm still eyeing Dontayvion Wicks, although A.T. Perry is out there too.
If Kelee Ringo keeps dropping, do you take him in R4 and convert him to Safety?
Lots of picks, lots of needs. I like that they filled a couple of roster holes so far. I'd say DL and S are the next big ones. Can't do it all in one draft, but Gute might be trying.
I think they still need another WR.
agree
Colby Wooden DL Auburn
Looks like he'd be a 4-3 DE, but they announced him as a DT. I don't think he's an OLB. I don't know where he fits in this defense.
Seems like a project that could be a decent backup. But - I've read he's eats and sleeps football, is the hardest worker on the field and is a coaches dream. I like that!

He is a defensive lineman for sure. Pass rusher who you could put inside or outside. Lot of talent for a competent defensive coordinator to utilize
LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
Giving a great interview right now.

Looks like they value flexibility quite a bit.

Other than the QB and kicker, I like rounds 1-6. They’ve got a shot. Depth must have deep dived after the 6th round because the 7th doesn’t look good for us.

Depth might have deep dived earlier than that which is why he used picks on a backup QB and kicker. I think Gute did a good job with a draft that wasn't real strong outside of the TE, CB and EDGE positions.

Makes sense. It really helps with the game day roster to have a guy be able to back up more than one spot.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
