What I want in the draft

[Biggems]

1. A stud DL....give me just one for now, either DT who can dominate from the inside, or a DE who can be the 2nd coming of DWare.

2. RT......Free sucks. Give us a RT and our OL will be outstanding.

3. FS.....we need a ballhawking FS.

4. CB....give me a CB who can play both man and zone and who has a nose for the football.

5. LB....versatile, can play inside or outside. can rush the passer, stuff the run, or drop back flawlessly in coverage.

So you want 5 first round picks?

So you want 5 first round picks?

And 3 top 10 picks

I think as of right now our to biggest needs are another DE and a QB of the future to groom. Right now both the DE and QB classes look pretty strong, but at the same time beyond Moriata, Winston, Hundley and even Cook its a crap shoot. Petty could have been in there but he hasnt looked good so far.

Im guessing Oakland gets #1, fires Allen and thats Moriata. If that happens I take Oakman and see if I can flip my 2nd for Carr

 

[darthseinfeld]

I can see CB creeping up the list of needs as the season wears on. Missing on both Claiborne and Webb really hurt

 

[sureletsrace]

I think CB is a huge need for this team already.

Martin needs to jump to RT. I don't think k you use a top 15 pick on a OG. We can find a day one OG in the 2nd or 3rd to replace Martin.

I want a DE. Fowler is my pet cat for the strong side DE.

We can find a 1 tech DT later in the draft.

Ball hawk FS is a must and this draft looks loaded so we should be able to grab a starter in the 2nd.

CB will be a need and if some of these juniors come out that class should be loaded to. My pet cat right now is Marcus Peters Washongton, most likely a 2nd or late 1st pick.

I think if we can resign McClain, Lee can play the Will and we need to resign Durant. Durant is your versatile LB. He can play any LB spot and we have Hitchens. We need to draft a true SOLB. One that can stuff the run and cover. I like good light college MLBs for that role. AJ Johnson is my pet cat for that.

Not if Patmon and Moore can play. Might not need a CB early if they can be nickel and dime corners. But we might have to let Carr walk.

I hear that a lot on Carr. What is the actual savings on cutting him. I know cutting Free saves us a good chunk. Anyone know what the real dollar savings on Carr is?

If we cut him out right he will be a 566,000 savings but if he is a June 1st cap cut he will save 8 million but that will then get pushed on to the 2016 cap.

Depending on how he plays out the season might be best to play him one more year or see if he will renegotiate his deal to stay like we did with Free.

Thanks for the info

You have the bolded. Dustin Vaughan.

 

[Hardline]

Draft the best available player regardless of position.

I'll take two of those dominating defensive linemen and you can keep the cornerback.

 

[Risen Star]

Always the right answer.

 

[KingintheNorth]

We have to get some youth (and talent) on the defensive line.


...and the same request for about 8 years in a row, a true Free Safety.

 

[sureletsrace]

Always the right answer.

I tend to slightly disagree.

If you have a glaring need at DT and have a solid secondary, and you have your choice of the #3 CB or the #5 DT, you go for the DT.

Honestly if i could get just one thing from the draft it would be Mariota.

Honestly if i could get just one thing from the draft it would be Mariota.

Mariota is a strong character guy and quite versatile. I am just curious as to whether he can be a quality pocket passer. I know he can run a gimmick offense to perfection, but a pro style offense?

A QB I want no part of is Winston. He has too many character flaws, and at the QB position, that is a big risk that I would not be willing to take.

Some of the QBs I have interest in are: (CBSSports.com)

Connor Cook - Michigan St.
6'4 220
Round:1-2 (I don't want to take him in the 1st or 2nd round)

Chuckie Keeton - Utah St.
6'1 200
Round: 3-4 (coming back from ACL injury and has a small frame, so that scares me, but he can throw the pigskin all over the field)

Cody Fajardo - Nevada
6'2 215
Round: 4 (a smaller version of Colin K.)

Rakeem Cato - Marshall
6'0 182
Round: UDFA
He is my favorite QB prospect in this draft. He is on the small side, but he is a true leader and field general. He refuses to quit or surrender and maintains his poise even when behind late in games. He can run the ball, play out of the pocket, throw the ball all over the field. He is a strong character guy.

Justin Worley - Tennessee
6'4 224
Round: UDFA (protypical size, strong arm, can make the throws......but his decision making has been poor. He seems to have improved quite a bit so far this season, which will likely move him up to the mid-rounds of the draft)

Vernon Adams, Jr. - Eastern Washington
5'11 205
Round: not listed for 2015 (may not declare for this draft, but most likely a UDFA)
small size, but can throw the ball all over the field and great with his feet.

well I think if you want him your not going to get him -- he should be gone after rd 1
