Well we've traded Ramsey the combine has come and gone and we have a start to free agency so lets get going.
Resign:
Gaines
Perkins
Shelton (already done)
Haley
IMO We're going to let as many go for the comp pick formula as possible even though most of the rest really won't move that needle.
Free agents:
JJ3
Dante Fowler
Quiet free agency because I doubt we put a lot of money into players this year each of these I think are 1 year deals.
Draft:
2nd Round pick 36:
BJ Ojulari Edge LSU
After Nolan Smith playing himself out of our range IMO this is my main target. Can come in year one start and contribute.

3rd Round pick 69:
Jaelyn Duncan LT Maryland
A project in the 3rd at LT. Good size and strength and a bit better as a run blocker than pass. With his size and strength he'd be a good guy for our new OL coach to work on.

3rd Round pick 77:
Julius Brents CB Kansas St
A corner with good size and strength to replace (eventually) Ramsey. His stock is rising so not sure where he falls but a lot of mocks have him around this range.

5th Round pick 167:
Roschon Johnson RB Texas
We should be very lucky to have him fall to us in the 5th.

5th Round pick 171:
Dante Stills DE/DT West Virginia
Good size and strength, very good attacking the run game. Would rotate him with Brown along with AD and Gaines on the front 3.

5th Round pick 177:
YaYa Diaby Edge Louisville
More of a project at Edge but has the physical tools to develop into a good pass rusher. We lack playmakers at this very important position so two draft picks and a couple UDFA seem in order to me.

6th round pick 182:
Jake Haener QB Fresno St
A commonly mocked to us development QB behind Stafford and Perkins.

6th round pick 189:
Ronnie Bell WR Michigan
Plays bigger than his 5'11" frame has a good catch radius and is a playmaker in the medium to long range game. Somebody to replace Robinson on the roster and develop. Limited experience in the return game but a possibility back there.

6th round pick 191:
Daniel Scott S Cal
Will likely be in every one of my mocks. Good deep safety will contribute even as a 6th round pick as a rookie.

7th round pick 223:
Jake Moody K Michigan
We need a kicker now and he's one of the best in the draft
7th round pick 251:
Zack Kuntz TE Old Dominion
Had a great combine as he showed off his agility. A good TE to develop and surpass Higs in a year or two.
I already know the two main complaints. I drafted a TE too late and only one guy on the OL. McVay and Snead have both said they like the guys they have in the OL room. For better or worse it may be another draft that ROD is upset by the lack of attention to that room. Though he may not start at OT as a rookie I do think if needed Duncan can play at Guard as a rookie. We'll go in to the season IMO with Boom at LT with Jackson his backup. Jackson and Anchrum will compete at LG with Bruss at RG. Shelton and Allen battle it out for C and Hav stays for another year or two at RT before he retires.
To me it's very conceivable that the top 5 picks all contribute as rookies with Ojulari Brents and Johnson getting a lot of PT early and the other two working their way in.
