Default Players to target at #14

These are players that we could be targeting at #14 or with a slight trade down (to around #20) to acquire a mid-round pick. There will undoubtedly be prospects who move up after the combine, but for now I think these are the main guys.

OG: David DeCastro (Stanford), Cordy Glenn (Georgia)
CB: Dre Kirkpatrick (Alabama), Alfonzo Dennard (Nebraska)
OLB: Courtney Upshaw (Alabama), Melvin Ingram (South Carolina)
ILB: Luke Kuechly (Boston College), Dont'a Hightower (Alabama)
DE: Devon Still (Penn State)

Out of that list, my top choices would be DeCastro, Kirkpatrick, and Ingram (in no particular order).

Interestingly, somebody on here (I think it was SDogo, maybe some others as well) mentioned the possibility of moving Bruce Carter to OLB to take advantage of his natural pass-rushing skills. I'm not much of a player evaluator to know how realistic that is, but that certainly opens up the possibility of drafting another tackling machine ala Luke Kuechly to pair with our other tackling machine, Sean Lee... and that could make a pretty dominant pairing.
