Unless we got Ellis or Dorsey theres not room for a rookie to come in and start unless they just have an unbelievable TC. The one exception is safety, but what safety are we going to take at 10? We pretty much filled all our holes on defense.
This is right on point. We can have contingency plans, but can we really use the 10th pick to get a guy just in case someone (Morgan) gets injured when we already have Shanle? This to me says no to Rivers. How many dang LB's do we want?
Same logic applies to the secondary. MM, Gay, David, and Young are here to stay. That leaves one spot. I'm all for getting a guy, but a day one rookie starter? C'mon. There isn't a guy in this draft who can come close. Remember where all the Super Bowl rings on our team are. Jason David and Randall Gay. If JD can play #2 corner and RG can pay nickel on Super Bowl winning teams, that means they are servicable and can be compensated for in the right schemes and situations.
I think this pick comes down to how highly the FO thinks of Zach Strief. If they think he can beat out Stinch, we go with Albert. If they don't, we probably go with Clady. Then you can get Molden in the 3rd and have 2 young athletic corners on the team and one of them would eventually step up and take a starting job. With the rest of the picks (and next years for that matter) you can get all the DT's and LB's and Safeties you want. This is of course assuming we stay at the #10 pick.
