2012 DRAFT


Ill start by saying that we are not playing very good football,and a good percentage of the reason is because of our offense.Our major need is at QB,but we need a bookend T or a nasty G , and a WR that  commands attention.The way the rest of the schedule looks ,we will be in the top 10 at least and good shot at a top 5 pick.Last years draft was excellent! Helu will be an above avg. back ,and he is very smart and works hard.Hankerson is the same,works hard and will not be bust.We all know about Kerrigan,i forget that he is a rookie sometimes.Jenkins,if he comes back and stays healthy,will be a very good DE.Gomes was a very interesting pick,and i think he will be very good.Neild is a very solid,blue collar player and with a year under his belt will excel.Thats 6 YOUNG players outta last years draft that will add depth,or start.Alotta bashing on Shanahan and Allen about the way things are going but they are turning this thing around.So if we have a draft like the last it will be another step in the right direction.For the first time in allota years we are building through the draft,and to undo whats been done over the years its gonna take more than one draft i promise you that.We need a QB outta this draft,but there are only a few that can be day one starters,i read a post on this site about Matt Flynn ,and at first i was skeptical.But if we cant land Luck or RG3 ,this might be the best scenario..Trade down grab a WR,T,G that can be a starter  day one,and shoot for a QB to groom( Tannehil ,Moore,Foles, etc) late first early second.. But i am comfortable for the first time in a long time with how we are tackling the draft!!
