When I started to think about who's likely to be available at pick 19 - the only offensive guy I'd consider is Christian McCaffrey and possibly David Njoku. [Dalvin Cook, Leonard Fournette, Mike Williams, OJ Howard are all off the board]. I'm personally not head over heels for either guy, so then I look to the defense. I highly doubt we draft a LB or DT, the pick would have to be a DB or edge rusher. Our options are now: Jabrill Peppers, Budda Baker, Obi Melifonwu, Jordan Willis, Charles Harris, Kevin King, or Adoree Jackson.
Adoree Jackson is electric and has serious cover corner potential - I liken him to Aqib Talib coming out of Kansas State but with the added ability as a dynamic returner. Kevin King reminds me a lot of Richard Sherman. Big, long, faster than you'd expect.. the exact type of CB we need across from VH3 going forward, to match up with guys like Kelvin Benjamin, Mohammad Sanu, and Michael Thomas in our division alone.
While it is plausible to get a starting RB or #2 WR outside of the first round, the chances of landing a starting caliber corner later in the draft is less likely. Our depth at CB is not being discussed enough. If Hargreaves or Grimes were to go down who steps up? Jude Barimah [who was suspended for four games at the end of the season] or Javien Elliott who in my opinion has shown no signs of being a reliable starter in the NFL. Ryan Smith is moving back to CB but we haven't seen anything from him yet either. This team desperately needs another corner and it would be smart to take one sooner than later in this year's draft, whether it's Kevin King, Adoree Jackson, Gareon Conley, etc.
1 - CB Kevin King [possibly move down a few spots]
2 - DE Demarcus Walker
3 - RB Marlon Mack [possibly move up a few spots]
4 - WR Amara Darboh
5 - S Fish Smithson
6 - WR Rodney Adams
7 - TE Anthony Auclair
