I would take Joe Thuney or Corey Linsley as my top 2 free agent choices. I would much prefer a veteran Olineman and a young RB over a young Olineman and a veteran RB.

I did not like this mock draft.

Between Davis, Flowers, and Kindley . . . where would Thuney fit? He'd cost somewhere between $12-14M/year. I think they have to target Linsley as their top choice in FA. I think a legit OC would pull this unit together and make them outstanding.
And I still think we have to look at OL early in the draft as well. I'm still going Sewell at #3. Jackson-Kindley/Flowers-Linsley-Hunt-Sewell . . . that's a destructive OL! Imagine not having to worry about the OL for years to come? LOL, I don't know what I would complain about then.
Drafting Sewell will improve our OT spot, bump Hunt to OG where is should be pro-bowl type player, improve our running game, and our passing game. I mean, he's the only player at #3 that improves multiple aspects of this team's problems imo.
It’s not a bad draft, just not my cup of tea. I like the idea of getting aggressive but I wouldn’t do it for a guy like Pitts.
But man, that Oline is nasty and you have a proven top back in Jones behind it. Elijah Moore is one of my faves and I would easily take him over guys like Toney or Marshall. Cox and the NT are good players and would help a lot.
Also I’m completely torn on Richie Grant. Dudes great in man coverage and plays tough and would make sense as a Bobby replacement. But he’s terrible at taking angles and I really don’t ever want to see him playing deep. You’d have to be really confident that you could teach him the fundamentals of you took him that high. I just continue to not be excited about this safety class
In my opinion none of these players are worth taking at 3. I would still argue to trade down and pick up assets. If we stay at 3 I would prefer Chase over Sewell. I believe there will be demand for teams to trade up to 3.
I am fine taking Linsley over Thuney. I am betting Linsley goes for more in FA than people expect. There seems to be a lot of interest in him.
