    Would he play nickel DB or as a LB in those sets?  I don’t know that I’d want to see him trying to cover Julian Edelman or someone similar. If the idea is as hybrid DB-LB for defensive flexibility, I could see it.  
     

    I think given his age (24) and level of competition, Duggar is going to be drafted lower than many have speculated.  Of course, I could be very wrong about that...

    I think it depends on the opposition. Against a TE such as Kelce for example I'd far rather him than Taron Johnson, equally against a mobile QB like Jackson he'd be less risky than Klein as your 3rd LB. 

     

    His age is a fair challenge and why I think Chinn will go ahead of him. But potentially at 54 I think he could be one of the few exciting players who could make an instant impact. 

     

    More often than not, when I've done mock simulators I find myself trading down 8 to 12 spots from 54 and using it to jump up from 128 or 167. The round 4 drop off seems very steep into the 5th/6th in a lot of positions

    Grant Delpit is a top 10 talent.  He battled through some injuries this season which seems to be impacting his stock big time.  He is now showing as late 1st / early 2nd in most projections.  I still think he is a stud and is getting severely underrated draft stock wise.  If I'm Beane and I see him sliding to the end of the first, I am heavily considering trading up for him.  I know, I know, we have hyde, we have poyer....but for how long?  Delpit is a game changing S IMO who makes plays down the field and can also play in the box and make plays too.  I love his flexibility and play making ability.  Plus, by the accounts I have seen at least, he is a tremendous locker room presence.

     

    I think we are in the position to draft best player available over needs at this point, a huge advantage in building and maintaining a team.  If I can package my 2 and a mid-rounder for him I'm doing it all day long.  

     

    Edit for confusion:  I'm not saying give up the farm to move back into the first.  I'm saying determine what you are willing to give up for him (maybe 2 and 4, maybe 2 and 3), and start making offers towards the end of the first.  Keep offering the teams on the clock that value until he is picked or someone accepts it.  No, I do not want them trading a first next year or anything crazy like that.  Thanks.

    Considering the Bills like DBs who can tackle, I think that makes Delpit more than unlikely
