EDGE Preference?

The top EDGE players this year are a tough bunch to evaluate. Some have top end production and some have insane measurables. I believe if we decide to choose one in the top of the draft it will be because that player meets the correct preference of the regime regardless of production or measurables. Travon Walker has all of the measurables but not the production. Jermaine Johnson II meets both of those criteria but still isn't being talked about among the top 2 at least via the media. Aidan Hutchinson and Kayvon Thibodeaux are widely considered the top 2 EDGE prospects but both have their questions. What I am trying to say the decisions to draft one of these guys isn't easy and all of them could prove to be quality NFL starters. I don't see much separating them. You also have guys like Arnold Ebiketie, Boye Mafe and George Karlaftis all good players IMO. I think Hutchinson and Thibodeaux don't fall to us. Walker could possibly be gone as well. I prefer Walker to Johnson based off potential. I think Walker has more potential to be dominant in the NFL. I think Johnson has the higher floor but kind of is who he is. I would be happy with any of those 4 guys but also wouldn't mind getting Ebiketie or Mafe in a trade back or the 2nd if we know they are going to be there. If Hutchinson, Thibodeax, Gardner and Neal are off the board I say we start looking to trade back. The Saints to 5 would be my preferred trade partner taking their 16 & 19 possible a 3rd next year. Lets keep the number 7 build depth with the 16, 19 and 36. Grab 4 impact starters. Let's turn this thing around go BLUE!
