I'm not a big fan of the late first edge rusher. I know we're 15th so maybe some talent drops to us but I'd rather go FA.

If styles is there it's a no brainer... I'm good with guard as well.

Sadiq will be damn good and he is a willing blocker... But TE is a luxury we cannot afford

drafting guys who may not fit into the plans of the next coach who comes along.  

all the more reason to lean into BPA

I have always tended to lean this direction. The draft is such a crap shoot and unless I have a generational player available either through trade of draft picks or in the draft, I would almost always go BPA.

Meh.

Would rather trade back a bit and take Ioane (or Pregnon) if we go offense early.

Pregnon is overrated dude. He'll go too early but I'd put him in the 45-60 range of picks. He's gonna go in the first. I love his frame but he just didn't have that dawg in him. Maybe with better coaching I guess.

Loane I know less about...

It all comes down to what Licht does in FA. Sadiq would fit well but if you go TE holy shit that means we are fucked on defense.

I thought we'd have a shot at Bailey but I'm seeing him mocked as high as 4

I'm just not as enamored with Sadiq as others (would love to be wrong). 

Agreed on the take though. That being said, with Bowles at HC/DC, we'll always need to have a high-octane offense to carry us.

And yeah, almost every recent mock I've seen had Bailey well within the Top-10.
