They will change....but...
I think the draft will be heavily influenced by what happens with regards to Carl Nicks. It's no secret we have a need there and that Nicks IS the answer. I still say that we are long shots to land him-but how sweet it would be.
FA's to consider (I haven't included players that I feel will be re-signed by their current team)
Carl Nicks-Pro Bowler stud. Nuff said. Gonna be hard to get him and he will get paid.
Ben Grubbs-Solid consolation prize.
Chris Myers- Houston C. Not fancy, but a prototypical Center. More of a zone blocker though.
Robert Mathis-I could really see this. An underdsized speed rusher who generates good pressure on the edge to compliment Ware.
Cortland Finnegan-Some character issues but has an intriqing swagger.
Paul Soliai-Fills our NT void and gets Rat where he belongs at 3-4 DE
Osi????
First 2 round prospects:
At 14 (I could see)
G David DeCastro does everything well with a nasty streak
DT Michael Brockers his stock is rising and he will kill the combine. Think of a more athletic JJ Watt
SS Mark Barron Value = need
CB A falling Dre Kirkpatrick likes the weed, risky pick but high end talent at a premium position
First round trade down scenarios
C Peter Konz has injury concerns but one of the best center prospects in a couple of years
CB Janoris Jenkins small ballhawk with character issues and weed history
CB Alfonzo Dennard rising up the draft mocks, interested to see his combine measurables
Round 2
C Ben Jones
DT Andre Branch
OG Brandon Washington
I don't see us trading up at ALL this year based on the early boards.
I would be happy with the following:
Robinson, Fiametta, McBriar and Spencer returning.
Bring in Finnegan (Rookie CB's struggle and our window is closing). Jenkins, Finnegan and Scandrick are a solid group. An increased pass rush helps out our back end. It also explains why I don't address the safety spots.
Ben Grubbs at Guard. I still just have my doubts we get Nicks.
Paul Soliai facilitates Ratliff moving to DE to help our inconsistent pass rush
Round 1 Draft DeCastro if we are lucky enough he's still there.
Round 2 Draft Ben Jones
Oline = Smith DeCastro Jones Grubbs Free (Wow)
Front 3 = Hatcher Soliai Ratliff
LB's Spencer Carter Lee Ware
Secondary Jenkins Elam Sensy Finnegan
