drafting #1 - a different approach

[KC_Guy]

Assume a trade down is impossible (not to be discussed in this thread, rule#1).

Remember Dorsey stating his BPA approach.
What's going to happen if the #1 pick is NOT a QB?

Here's the top 15 of NFLDraftScout.
Give me FOUR 1-liners on each answering FOUR questions:

a - puts another players starting role in jeopardy/impacts re-signing free agents? (who)
b - considered a realistic pick? (yes/no)
c - considered fair value? (yes no)
d - fills a need? (yes/no)

To make it easier to read:

- just copy the list into your post and post your assessment under the names.
- add comments at the end of the individual players' section or at the end of the full post.

1 *Luke Joeckel OT
a - ***
b - ***
c - ***
d - ***

2 *Bjoern Werner DE
3 Chance Warmack OG
4 *Damontre Moore DE
5 *Dee Milliner CB
6 Eric Fisher OT
7 *Jarvis Jones OLB
8 *Barkevious Mingo DE
9 Star Lotulelei DT
10 *Sheldon Richardson DT
11 Lane Johnson OT
12 *Keenan Allen WR
13 Kenny Vaccaro FS
14 Geno Smith QB (did I mention: NO QB??)
15 Dion Jordan DE

3. Chance Warmack, G
4. Dee Milliner, CB
5. Keenan Allen, WR
