draft

who should we be interested in and get? i think we could be looking at a big WR, but then there is Javon Walker. i hope that we r not looking at him because i think he is a waste of money at thisd point. hees injury prone and will probably want a lot of money. idk. should we draft a safety in the first, WR 2nd, and CB 3rd. i think it would be adding to an already good team. pretty much the first year we have almost a full draft i cant think of anything we despretly need.

Your draft guide

There's no saftey rated 1st round material and we don't need one bad enought to draft one in the 1st rd anyway. With CB so deep in this draft maybe we can roll the dice and try one in the 2nd..maybe Justin King from PSU. WR's are risky in the 1st rd historically anyway (how did calvin johnson who was supposed to be cant miss do? not calling him a bust but we need impact in the 1st rd.)

Which leads me to the DE/DT. Thats where we need to go. Pass rush from the D-line is a must for us to go further. See NY Giants for what a 4 man rush can do for you. Both O & D lines need depth as well.

So by postional needs: DE/DT (impact),CB,WR,o-line/d-line depth

The 2nd round...

has been a historically good round for CBs. I think the best player available will be a DE.

Here's to that

I like a DE/Three Point in the first and a CB in the second. We need the depth and we need some youth in those areas.

i agree... kinda

DE in the first, no doubt. A passrushing guy -- Daniels can still play in run situations. and he can play DT if necessary, can't he? We could put him in + Griff + new guy + Carter on first downs... that'd be a pretty good set!

As far as CB goes, we'd essentially be drafting a 3rd or 4th cornerback at the highest. Springs is gonna be good again, and Rogers will return this season at some point, and Smoot is there already. Springs won't last forever, but I'd be more inclined to wait another season, count on Leigh Torrence for another year, and draft a #1 CB unless there's great value at our 2nd slot for a CB.

I think in the second round we should look for a beast lineman if there's one with more value than the CB, or a good WR. At that point, we need the best available at any of those positions. If we don't sign Will Demps, maybe we should explore drafting a safety there?

I think a great OL, like a guy who could play either guard spot or either tackle spot (one or the other) would be a great value pick there. I guarantee one of our guys (all starters over 30) will go down this year. Heyer is a great replacement, but we saw what happened last year... and Bugel is the guy to coach these guys up. Granted, we can probably get some good linemen in the second day, but the linemen crop this year is very deep.

a cb wouldn't be a bad pick, but if we can find a beast at another position, we have to pull that trigger... including WR.
