agreed if they sign a FA guard and draft Decastro than Nagy, arkin, kowolski are not being given any chance of starting and were wasted picks. they would be best served signing a FA and drafting a corner or pass rusher

Can't really understand the movement to replace the whole interior of the line with FAs and the draft when our D looked like swiss cheese. We drafted 2 guards last year, yet some here want to replace them immediately without giving them even 1 offseason to develop.

A CB and pass rusher is every bit as important to this team as another guard, especially when we lose TNew and probably could(and should) lose Spencer or Kenyon.

I understand your point.

I think it comes down to three things...

1. The interior run blocking was abysmal this season, the pass blocking only slightly less so. I think if DeCastro is there at #14, then you have to strongly consider taking him... Just because he's such a top prospect.
2. If the two top corners are there, then they do merit consideration.
3. I don't any of the OLBers/DEs are worth the pick at #14.

Or trade up to #9 or #10 to draft Kirkpatrick if he falls that far. Either of those two move and I am a very happy camper.

This is what i hope to do is move up if we have to and secure ourselves a number 1 corner in the future and stop messing around with mid teir cb's. Get a good one and if we cant get him grab decastro. You cant go wrong with decastro IMO.

DeCastro is a top prospect, no argument there, can't be upset if we take him especially if we don't get a FA guard. It's just harder to get that top CB or OT with lower picks. We picked 2 guards last year, neither of which has even seen an offseason yet.

We do have to wait on workouts really for pass rushers, it along with CBs can be the fastest risers in the draft.
