From your list, OT.

I also believe that Center should be high priority and there are at least three Nick Mangold types available.

Knowing what has occured already in the off season... Using the best available player theory... U have 7 guys rated about the same.. Not caring about the names just the positions.. They are WR, OLB, FS,NT,OG,OT and MLB... Who would you pick to improve this team?


What's interesting how difficult a question this is for me. I could make the arguement that CB or any one of listed positions is of greatest need. Yet we truely do not have a "great" need at any position.

If you put a gun to my head, I'd probably say WR. If we were to have one rookie come in and make an immediate impact, I think a WR would help us the most.

IMO, the type of rookie WR that would actually make an immediate impact is one with speed and elusiveness (possibly play in the slot), AND one who can return punts/kickoffs on STs.

I think several of these types of guys are available in Rounds 4-7.

I don't think another possession wideout would necessarily help us out that much this year (maybe in a couple of years, though). There may be some good possession wideouts available in Round 2, for example, but I don't think they will make much of an impact this year.

Im all for drafting an Offensive guard but I think you guys will be very pleased with Montrae Holland this season.

When he was in there last year he was moving people when he got locked on.

I don't see any way Kosier beats him out.
Yup, I'm expecting Holland to be the starter over Kosier, period. That's why I don't have us taking an O-lineman w/ our 2nd or 3rd rounder right now. Now if a Herman Johnson or Loadholt were available w/ our 3rd rounder, then I could change my tune; the value would just be too good to pass up then.....

absolutely.the only way he gets activated on game day is he is our designated kr/pr.so they are better off drafting a guy later in the draft if that is what they re looking for.

Not so sure about that. You dress 4 WR's at a min.

Obviously we're looking at Williams, Miles and Crayton most likely getting 95% of the WR snaps.

But what about the 4th WR. At this point I can't say I know or even have a strong inclination as to what Hurd or Stanbach will bring to the table in 2009.

Would it surprise anyone if neither of those two were even in the league 2 years from now.

Couple other things to consider.
1) Injuries to any of our top 3.
2) Punt Returns.

We are certainly in the market for a speedy WR with real PR skills.
