Even though 1/4th of the top 23 picks will not be WRs... I would break the Video phone screaming Grant Delpit's name.

I like a WR pick in the first round. They have the biggest chance of success in their rookie season. If they nail it on the WR, N.Os offense will be very hard to stop. CGM, Sanders, Stud Rookie W.R, TQS and Taysom would make a very formidable W.R group.Ideally you would trade down because there's a dropoff to what we have available and I'm not convinced that any of the next 10 or so guys would be much different.
I think that the following would be possibilities:
- Aiyuk WR
- Higgins WR
- Shenault WR
- Gross-Matos DE
- Epenesa DE
- McKinney S
- Diggs CB
- Gladley CB
- Terrell CB
- Fuller CB
- Swift RB
- Taylor RB
- Ruiz OG
I'd probably be rooting for either McKinney or one of the WRs.
I agree with your injury concerns about Shenault. Some of the scouting reports I've seen said he needs to learn how to not take so much abuse, that's worrisome. I also agree with not liking the other receivers at 24. I mean, they're good and I like them, but a different position may offer better value at 24. My concern with getting one later is that we don't have a 2nd rounder and the WR's we all like may be gone by our next pick at the end of the 3rd.Now if Laviska Shenault didn’t have injury concerns as he had core muscle surgery after the combine...
After Ruggs and Jefferson I really don’t like another receiver at 24. I liked Jalen Reagor when I thought he would run below a 4.4. I like Brandon Aiyuk and Tee Higgins, but not at 24. I rather one of the top 5 corners and get a receiver later.

Don’t say those teams wouldn’t take X player cause I didn’t list the teams for a reason. This is if some trades happen.
This would be the worst case scenario for me. I would hope to trade back to try to get either a later 1st & a late 2nd, 1st & an early 3rd, 2 2nds, and maybe even an early 2nd & early 3rd. But if that can’t happen I guess I take whoever is highest on our board out of either Trevon Diggs, AJ Terrell, or Kristian Fulton. I might take Grant Delpit or Xavier McKinney if we have them higher than the corners
"When asked what a team gets if they select him, Murray said, “They're getting a straight dog. A killer. That's really as simple as I can put it.” While using “killer” may not be the best choice of words, it does show the physicality and mentality Murray brings to the game.
