Below is latest GBN mock draft; they now show us with 21st overall pick instead of the lower pick given below. Notice some of the guys who available if we pick at 21. Quite a few good ones who could help a lot. BTW LB Bobby Carpenter isn't even picked to go in first round any longer.

[MrPhil]

Right now, my draft "wishlist" for our first pick includes:

QB - Jay Cutler
WR - Santonio Holmes
OT - Jonathan Scott
OG - Max Jean-Gilles
FS - Laron Landry
LB - Bobby Carpenter

I would be happy with any of these guys right now....

Since Jeff Ireland did such a good job for last years draft, I will place my trust in his abilities to scout talent. I just hope it extends to the offensive side of the ball this offseason.

[ABQCOWBOY]

Not in a million years do we take a TE with our first round pick.

Agree completely but, I didn't see where a TE was mentioned.......did I miss it? If so, my apologies. :)

[Zaxor]

Thanks for posting but needless to say I disagree...LB/OT/CB or even a FS I could see in the first but not a WR

[ABQCOWBOY]

Wow, that's weired. I could have sworn it said Vernon Davis at 24. My bad, it clearly says Holmes but man, I looked at it, saw Vernon Davis and immediatly took out the picture of the wife on my desk.

:lmao2:

[VACowboy]

I don't think you'll see an OL in the first. I'd put my money on Huff or a LB.

[Ashwynn]

We better see several Oline prostpects the first day, unless we have already taken care of a few spots via Frewe Agency. But we gota address the O line somewhere this offseason and big time too. Cash out the CDs Jerry, we gunna need a lot of cash to fix this pig.

[wileedog]

I think we'll go LB in the first then possibly O-line with both the 2nd and 3rd, depending how the board falls.

I doubt we'll go WR or FS on the first day at all.

[Qwickdraw]

Looks like it's shaping up to be a weak year for WRs. Especially in comparison to the past couple.

Maybe we could get a crack at the first WR taken off the board late in the first round.

[AmishCowboy]

What's wrong with Holmes?. We need to get younger there, we can always fix the O-Line with a ready to play FA. As far as FS, let's see what Pile can do these last couple of games, Parcells said that he likes VA Tech players, since they played under former Assistant Al Groh.

[JuJones21]

I would say if Huff falls to us, we jump all over him. He's young, good, and a would be a great compliment to THE Roy Williams. Not mention he's a local product (Irving Nimitz HS).

BEST PLAYER Avail

[tideh20heel]

al groh coaches for uva not va tech. i agree best player available.

[AbeBeta]

The only way we go OL in the first is if one of the top two guys drops big time. Reaching for in OT can be a disaster.

[baj1dallas]

If Abdul Hodge is still available at that point, he's a possibility.

No chance he lasts that long, and certainly will not be taken after Lewis from UCLA.

[Avery]

Take Gilles in that situation. Rivera and Allen aren't getting any younger and Peterman, Gurode, etc. aren't getting any better.

[ABQCOWBOY]

I don't know. I would not take a Guard with a first round pick. I would take a LT. Right now, you got Ferguson, Scott, Whitworth, Justice, Winston, McNeil, Blalock and Trueblood who might all carry a first round grade at Tackle. There are gonna be some pretty good Guard talents available in the 2nd and 3rd. Even later.

[btcutter]

trade down into the 2nd and pick up OL help in 2nd and 3rd. OL desperately needs upgrade and youth

[Compacity]

My wishlish contains...

1-Vince Young or DeAngleo Williams or Jimmy Williams or Mathias Kiwanuka or Ahmad Brooks

[wxcpo]

Holmes would be an absolute stud for us if we were to get him. I would much rather us get either a top OL'man and if not available than trade down and grab Bobby Carpenter. Although I'm sure his recent injury has something to do with him sliding out of the 1st round in this mock draft. I would not be surprised to see him move back up into round 1 come April.

[Chuck 54]

I think we'll do what we've been doing....we'll address our most of our needs in FA and use our draft picks on the best players available with position only coming into play if the player is equal to others on the board.

If the guy we really want is there but there are higher rated players on the board, then we'll trade down.

[btcutter]

Please don't draft Young....please....have him come out so someone else can draft him and put someone down to us.

[jbsg02]

FS Dwayne Slay is in Mel Kipers top 25 seniors now. Many of us saw him as a mid-round pick but could be as early as a 2nd rounder. If he can do what he did in college, a duo of Slay and Roy would be pretty scary.
