Can be done in FA also. Maybe there are those players already on the team. Gallimore? Steele?Name me one draft where we got five starters, much less five dynamic, playmaking, ballhawking starters.

If you really knew football you wouldn't be laughing....Major Playmakers those centers......
I'm laughing because the strategy of drafting off lineman with our no 1 and no 2 picks has gotten us NOWHERE!!!If you really knew football you wouldn't be laughing....
I'm glad you are having fun....I'm laughing because the strategy of drafting off lineman with our no 1 and no 2 picks has gotten us NOWHERE!!!
Now you keep on keeping on and folks who know the game will continue laughing.....
People also said we couldnt fix the defense in one draft. Looked a lot better last season.Not opposed, but you can't do both when you don't do free agency. We've spent second- and third-round picks on both lines ... and we're still looking to build them. I would prefer using our first on a DT or FS, but I could live with an OL there. I just think we're never going to get that monster in the middle on defense if we don't invest a first in it, unless we just happen to get lucky with a later pick.
You think we should take another WR? I think your draft strategy stinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I don’t think it really has to be one or the other, and the front office should not enter the draft and free agency with that mindset. As you say, both sides need some work but neither is so far away as to to be hopeless. You need to evaluate the draft specifically for what kind of selections are available at our picks. There is a wide variety of needs that could be chosen in my opinion so best pick available seems like a no brained this year. The one area I would try to focus on is offensive line but even there, I would not reach too much if nothing good is available.
There seem to be some on here who would like for us to scrap half the team and start over. That doesn't mesh with reality for building a contending team. What you can do is somewhat limited. If it came down to using our resources to try to finish what we've built on defense or retooling the offense (cutting and replacing players like Cooper and Collins, letting Schultz go and replacing him, etc.), which would you prefer?
I used to be on the side of finishing out the offense to make it a great unit instead of a pretty great one ... partially because our defenses always seemed so far away from being good. Now, I'm kind of in favor of seeing what Quinn can do if we give him all the pieces he needs to make the defense great. We may be only a stud DT and FS away from that. I'd probably throw in a second LB to pair with Parsons. That's if we re-sign Gregory and Kearse. Of course, there's always the issue of finding those players, but I would probably make it the priority.

Can do both with the right plan. all of these are doable and will make the team much better as a whole
1. Sign Ryan Jensen, C Bucs
2. Trade Cooper for what we can get, a 2 or even less
3. Restructure DLaw
4. Re-sign Kearse, Anger, Hooker, Gregory. Wilson (WR)
5. Resign Neal and Wilson (SS) if they’re cheap
6. Draft: Green rd, Travis Jones rd 2, LB and TE rd 3. There is good value and alternatives available in those rounds
the problem is that we need either a new QB (can’t happen) or new HC/OC (won’t happen) who is more innovative but who Dak will actually listen to because he has very real deficiencies that the current staff are not in a position to address . Without this none of the above will matter
I'm fine with BPA to a point. But we can't be drafting RBs or WRs in the first round.

Where we are drafting, best player is probably a toss-up. We'll have three or four to choose from unless someone falls like Lamb did. One site I just took a look at has Georgia DT Jordan Davis (6-7, 340) No. 19 on its board followed by Michigan S Daxton Hill at 20. There's a guard, Kenyon Green of Texas A&M at 22 at Georgia DT Travon Walker at 26. Who knows where these players will be rated when the draft rolls around, but there could be some players there who fit our needs as well as being the best or among the best available.
