Absolutely. If that happens, I think the 1st round focus will shift to DE, where the team sorely needs to find some young blood. Carl Lawson, maybe in a trade-down scenario, comes to mind. Although, CB, OG and TE should be considered there as well, depending on who's available. Marlon Humphrey, Forrest Lamp, and David Njoku are all candidates at their respective positions.

Free agency obviously dictates a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing who the FO targets.

 

Yeah? There are some teams who reportedly won't even consider him in the first round. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he slips, especially considering Adam Gase is expected to go hard after Julius Thomas. TE's are essential to Gase's offense, and it's unlikely that he's going to let a rookie start for him there. I'd be shocked, but crazier things have happened, I suppose.

 

Who said that, DJ? I've always pictured Cunningham on the strong side where Jelani plays; would like to read up on that some more.

 

I completely agree with Jakeem Grant being on the bubble; he needs to show some miraculous improvements in the mental part of his game to save his job in Miami. I would be a little surprised if Bobby McCain were in that same boat, though. He's been much better than Grant, but I concede that he could very well see less of the field and more of the bench in '17 than he did in '16. K'Wuan Williams would, undoubtedly, be an upgrade.

I actually really like Jourdan Lewis and have been keeping a steady eye on him. Call it a hunch, but I think he's gonna be a great nickle corner. Will probably take a late 2nd-early 3rd to land him. He would apply a lot of pressure on McCain for the starting job if K'Wuan Williams isn't signed.
