THESE ARE MY GUYS

At outside linebacker UCLA’s Takkarist McKinley would have to be tempting if his recent shoulder surgery keeps him available until the end of the round. And Wisconsin’s T.J. Watt is a real possibility if he’s still on the board.

[smuggler]

I think the needs are RB, CB, OLB, and OL. We will probably draft an ILB, another CB, and another RB. One other pick will be a WR or TE.

[gbgary]

defense, defense, o-line.

cb, move clay inside, draft olb, o-line (guard), rb depth maybe.

[esoxx]

Just don't draft a fuggin fullback.

PASS RUSH PASS RUSH
SPEED SPEED SPEED
COVER GUYS COVER GUY COVER GUYS

the end


PS....would be cool to sign a guy who could help with the above so we don't head into the draft with so many needs

I agree with your positions and rankings GBGary. And the thread does say rank our needs. But I think we need to be careful when the draft actually gets here. I don't think we should go into any pick expecting any 1 postion. I'd be looking for 1 of 3 positions CB, OLB/EDGE, and Guard. If all the top CBs and Edge players are gone and if we can fill Lang's spot with a plug and play Guard, solidifying the O-line might be worth the pick. I'd hate to reach for one of those other positions and let a possibly great piece go that will help protect Aaron for possibly the rest of his career. I'd have to consider waiting till the 2nd and 3rd for the CB and OLB picks, in that circumstance. I know the defense needs as much help as it can get, and RJF and House don't plug the holes completely, but they do help. Another big CB in the 2nd or 3rd could go along way as we have had success with our coaching up of young DBs as of late. Anything can happen draft night, I think its Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News that says the nfl draft is a living and breathing thing that is ever changing.

Would bet against a Guard early.

CB, EDGE, ILB.

CB, EDGE, ILB.

Would bet on a 4th round OL. Typically a guy who played tackle in college but projects to an NFL guard. That's the MO at least. Any earlier and it's a guy who's a tackle in the NFL. Unless they want Beluga at guard this year and let aspriggs fight it out with a rookie.

[BZnDallas]

Would bet against a Guard early.

CB, EDGE, ILB.

I'd bet Guard before ILB. We've already spent 2 consecutive 4ths on ILB. With the loss of Lang, I could see Ted going G earlier than normal IF his tier level guys aren't around. There's plenty of CB and Edge talent that its prolly a moot point.

[Pugger]

Would bet against a Guard early.

CB, EDGE, ILB.

Depending upon how the draft falls if Lamp is the highest player on his board and is still there don't be surprised if he takes him. I know everyone will piss and moan but there was some consternation about Ted's first pick in 2005 too. I'm not saying Lamp will be the GOAT - just that Ted usually trusts his board.

so you read that same article i did where they talk about the options for replacing lang and the only option they said really works is to draft lamp?

kind of a dumb article imo

for me, theres a reason we drafted spriggs in the second last year, and it wasn't to sit on the bench, they're gonna start him at guard or Rt this year, unless he completely sucks

I'd like to see a WR drafted if value is there.

[Fritz]

Bretsky's pretty much got it figured out early on: cornerbacks and OLB's. Then a running back, a wide receiver with speed, some fifth-round tackle who will someday play guard, an inside linebacker who has never played inside linebacker, in the sixth, and a nose tackle or d-tackle in the seventh round. We finally got the hang of Ted after all these years.

Agreed, though best Ted bet might be second round. Not much is certain after Nelson and Adams. Nelson has been getting banged up and older, Adams has been hit with both injuries and some inconsistency. Cobb is best as the #2/3 option. After them its youngsters and special teamers.
