I wouldn't be opposed to going DL at 34 and then DL at 67

Like if you went Spence at 34 and then came back with a swing guy like Day at 67.

It might be a bit of an overkill but if we are seemingly OK with what we have in the secondary, I'd love to just throw waves of DL at teams. I think that's the easiest way to get an immediate improvement on defense.

Granted, at this point, we could use help at S, CB, DL and even LB............ so I can't really knock who they take at 34 and 67 position wise as long as it's defense. So if they go some combo of DB, DL, whatever, I can live with that.

I wouldn't be upset if every pick from here on out is a DL

I kind of feel that way, but think it would be too many for roster purposes. Most I think we can carry from the draft is four DL. (Now, since the late-round picks chances of making the roster are not that high, probably only the ones taken in the second, third and fourth would make the roster anyway.)

I would like to see two DEs taken in the next three rounds, then perhaps a sixth-round DT like Greg Millhouse of Campbell.

My druthers would be one of Dodd or Ogbah in the second and one of Nassib or Judon in the third or fourth.

Where's the draft target for the athletic kid from App State or wherever? Blair?

I'd love to have a receiver that can roast the sidelines.

With all the attention on Zeke and Dez i'd love to put some real speed out there.

Here's hoping for a DT in rounds 2-4. But honestly, I don't see it.

Me neither. Load up on the DL. Rotate, keep them fresh. Love the idea

Not a whole lot of that left. Miller from OSU maybe can develop into that type of guy. Shepard? Not exactly a blazer out there like a Fuller.

Our next three picks should be pure defense, DL, DE, I don't care, just fix our pathetic unit!

Although having said this, the more I read about Howard from Baylor, I could be OK with taking him at 34. Bigger, stronger, athletic CB type.

Eric Murray from Minnesota is a good looking prospect that might be there in the 4th.

I can't remember. Walter football has a great list of all visitors and prospects we contacted at any time

OK, I'll throw in a receiver for you between Dodd/Ogbah and Judon just because I'm a nice guy.

We need a DB badly still. I think you can get a good DT in the 4th. I think we should use 34/67 on DE & DB. 4th rounders on DT/WR. Then fill with whatever with the 6ths.

Yeah I'm hoping they're able to go WR in the 3rd, or 2nd in a trade up.

If Spence isn't available, I would not force DE at pick 34. Go DT, add talent to the DL. The last thing we should do is make a pick with the first 4 games of the season in mind. Chris Jones or Jonathan Bullard would be my early targets along with Spence.
