Nagy and the Chiefs don't seem to have tall go up and get it WR's, so not sure the 1st 2, or even 3 are real matches, but the last 2 are definitely in the mix(if going based on what Nagy and the Chiefs used is an indication). The one kid w/decision making and off the field issues I don't think is something Pace has an interest in.

I took the article with a grain of salt... just something to talk about. One thing I am convinced of though. There will be outstanding WRs available after the 1st round. And it sure seems that there isn't a guy worth a top-10 pick to me. I've watched Ridley play. If he is the best WR in this draft, then color me unimpressed. He is a good, but not great, looking WR. JMO.
But it does look like there are some interesting WRs who will be available to us after the first round. Guys who may very well be better than Ridley in the NFL.
I don't deny the need to add a WR in the draft and probably at least one more UDFA but who and with what picks are speculation IMHO until after FA. Same with the OL. I believe these are two spots where we can bring in some top vet talent. Guys who can come in and upgrade immediately.
How we draft will be governed by who we can sign in FA and two other positions we have needs at (Edge and CB) are exactly ripe with UFA prospects. In fact two of the better CBs are Fuller and Amukamara. How re-signing either or both goes will probably become a major influence early in the draft as well Edge.

Exactly.
Now that the coaching staff rodeo is over, welcome to the first of many doldrum periods in the long NFL offseason. Nothing much is going to happen until we reach or at least get near the opening of FA. And trying to engage in draft talk is nothing more than wild speculation at this point until we see how FA goes.
Fuller & Amukamara are the next places that should be occupying Pace's attention. We will get some clues as to what direction he's leaning toward for the whole offseason's roster moves by how he handles the CB situation. I think he should re-sign BOTH of them but if he doesn't the taking a CB at #8 starts to become a strong possibility. I can't imagine Trumaine Johnson is going to cost less than what we already have and there's no guarantee he will even make it to the open market.
I don't know what he's gonna do at edge/OLB. With Ferrell returning to Clemson, a major potential 1st round draft target just went by the wayside.
Watch DJ Moore's draft stock, he is a good kid and great player. He proved to be the best WR in the B1G playing with 4 different QBs this season at Maryland. Kiper has already talked this kid up in one article, and it's deserved. I hope Pace spots his talent and grabs him before anyone else does.

Does that even matter, honestly? You think Nagy would not want to go after a Calvin Johnson or a DeAndre Hopkins because they aren’t “matches”? I highly doubt it.
