CB, DL, OL, LB.....why would anyone object to any of these in round 1?

Don't know what will happen in FA, but right now, with the current roster, we need a starting CB much more than an upgrade at OG.

Right now Jenkins and Scandrick are the only CBs you'd even want to see on the field, and that's not good.

I hope Jenkins proves he's grown up, because he's my pick having shut down Blackburn and the kid from SC....he's a true cover cb who could start opposite Jenkins on day 1, keeping Scandrick on the slot.

I understand where you're coming from, but you could just as easily argue that finally drafting an OL in the first round shows that the team is finally making it a priority.
I get it, but I'm just trying to look at it through Jerry's eyes.

On draft day, I'd take DeCastro, who can start instantly instead of Jenkins. The inconsistency of rookie CBs frighten me, especially in today's pass happy NFL, and additionally, he's a little guy. It's best to look for proven CBs in free agency.

DeCastro isnt going to be there at 14. I am watching the combine today and it is like there favorite toy there...Decastro this,Decastro that. Hell they are using him as an example to lead off the drills. We need secondary help....IMMEDIATELY!!!!

Finally drafting one and then seeing the results of that decision this year.

What moron would draft Tyron in the 1st round, watch him play this year and think we shouldn't do that again?

The fact that we made that pick makes it more likely we'll do it again.

Pretty much exactly what I want to happen. Sign a CB like Tracy Porter (who I think is a more realistic option than Brandon Carr) and hope you can get DeCastro at 14.

It would be easy to object when the corners that will be available , has character concerns . You don't take a chance that these guys have grown up with the 14th pick .

Like we still don't have a clue on how to build a football team.

This. If Mike Haynes or Deion was sitting there, it would be one thing, however it is all about either pass rush or pass protection. BTW none of the corners in the draft are Haynes or Deion.

IMO, worst case scenario.

Just wondering what others thought.

Great. You can always get a decent guard in the second round or FA. Not so for cornerback.

What moron looks at teams like New England and NYG and thinks every lineman on the team has to be a first round pick?

Actually, the Giants could have benefited from a 1st round lineman or two, their OL sucks. Not that it matters anymore.

Ok here is a twist on the original question. Worth asking after some of the combine results are coming in for the OL.

So if Decastro is gone at 14, would you still take say Cordy Glenn at 14 over the CB's? I think Glenn is going to jump up a lot of draft boards after his combine workouts.

Don't we need a starting-quality CB with some size? StinkyBall is the only guy taller than 6' and everyone else is 5'11" or shorter.

People will lose their minds when Jerry Jones drafts a tight end.
