I assume that 3 QBs and the "Big 3" are likely gone by our pick. I actually think there is an outside shot either or both Nelson and Barkley are on the board and we pass on them. I'm on board with the logic of taking either, but for the purposes of this thread...I'm getting bold.

Round 1

MINKAH FITZPATRICK, S/CB, ALABAMA

Versatile, rangy center-fielder who can cover larger WRs (see Julio J or Mike Thomas) one-on-one , flex down and neutralize a TE, or play in the box to stop the run or blitz. A true Swiss army knife. I know everyone is clamoring for James here because Fitz is similar to Justin Evans, but in a pass happy touch football NFL having a 2 Free Safety back end could give us the upper hand on disguising coverages and deep ball defense.

Round 2

RONALD JONES II, RB, USC

Another speedy all-purpose tool who is the perfect complement to Peyton Barber and would give us the Tampa version of Ingram/Kamara “Thunder & Lightning” duo in New Orleans. Jones is the closest back in the draft to Kamara’s skill set. I want this pick badly!

I could see us drafting differently or even trading down but if we stay put in both rounds I damn sure wouldn’t be upset with 2 explosive Swiss army knives.
