I like the plan, I like the players, but I see a lot of redundance haha. You could have got an ILB earlier and an Edge for depth

17 is a perfect place to trade back a bit. in that scenario, I would hope the jump back to mid 20s. I know it takes a wil ing partner.

That's a very possible but very ****** scenario. I agree with blitz and ideally we should trade back a few spots and see how the board falls, in theory if all those players are gone it means a couple of QBs fell and there could be real interest to trade up. If there isn't any decent trade available I'm going with Addison or I go completely off the script, say **** it all and get TE Mayer and install a 2 TE offense that would maximize the running game and play-action situations, Mayer being a true high quality blocker can free up Freiermuth and help a lot chipping as an extra blocker

It's pre-combine, but the more I look at things, it seems realistic.

Top cornerbacks fly off the board and once you get beyond Gonzalez, Witherspoon, and Porter, it's a group where I think you can find similar talent in the second round. I feel the same with tackle, though Skoronski is the only tackle I feel is a "safe" pick in the first round. Johnson and Jones both feel like they could be multi-year projects, but again, top tackles go early.

Ideally, trade down would be the scenario we'd all pick (I think), but let's say they get no offers. I like your two choices with Addison and Mayer. Though tight end just isn't a value position unless they are in the same league as a Kelce, Kittle, or Gronk and I don't think Mayer has that extra gear and instead would have to win with the physical game.

Daniel Jeremiah has Myles Murphy as his No. 18 prospect. Not a "need" but teams can never have enough pass rushers. Jaxon Smith-Njigba is another option. Obviously he had limited film last season, but he's a slot receiver with good size and terrific production. He doesn't have high-end speed and instead will rely on his route running.

I also feel there is a possibility one of the interior offensive lineman will sneak into the first round with freakish strength or athleticism on display at the combine, whether it's Torrence, Avila, or a more under-the-radar guy like Tippmann.

Good lord that would be sweet. Completely revamps both lines for possibly the next decade plus, assuming they can pay for them in 4 years.

Okay, this is not likely since Seattle is not going to deal 5 picks to move up five spots but whatever.

Bresee worries me as a prospect. I would rather he is the second or third pick if they go that route. Every bit of a boom or bust prospect.
