I’m not going to spend too much time on this. I explained how we got to this pick and why this was the pick in my first round mock draft. If anyone would rather take Vernon Hargreaves over Bosa at this point, they’re a lost cause and aren’t going to change their mind.

Despite every mock draft under the sun taking Hargreaves to Tampa (seriously, I went through eighteen  mocks before I got to one that didn’t give the Bucs Hargreaves, and he gave us Ezekiel Elliott, so that should explain that mock immediately), pass rusher or trade down are the only logical options here. Yes, there is help needed in the secondary, but the bigger need is at safety and drafting a corner in the top-ten who would sit behind Brent Grimes, Alterraun Verner, and Johnthan Banks is a wasted pick. Moving on!

Next: Round Two, Pick 38
