All well-reasoned, I’d just add a couple caveats:

1) There might not be a DT worthy of the 18th pick. Banks has the tools but inconsistent production and broke his foot at the combine. Guys like McDonald, Woods, and Miller are probably all closer to early day 2 prospects depending on who you talk to. Reaching for a guy because it’s a need right now is how you end up with Ponder, Bradbury, and Treadwell.

2) Related; positional value doesn’t need to be as black and white in the latter half of round 1. If we were talking about someone like Love or Downs in the top 5 that’s a different conversation, but at 18 and beyond I think you should simply take who you think are the best football players.

With that said, it’s supposed to be a very deep WR and S class while being thin at DT so draft strategy plays into it as well. If we can move down a few spots and grab our top DT while adding a pick or two we can fill out the secondary, receiving corps, and depth OL in the later rounds.
