I don't watch much college football these days (my Saturdays are completely taken up) so I don't know individual players but I would like to see a solid OL fall to us. A WR would be my next choice. Taking yet another LB in round-1 would really piss me off!
Me too, we have taken plenty of linebackers in the 1st round, its time to rebuild our offensive line. Remember that when we drafted larry allen, he played some his rookie year. Same for flozell adams a 2nd rounder, and erik williams a 3rd rounder. WE need a STUD on the offensive line, so when we need 3rd and 1 or 4th and one we can get it, and then when teams try to stop us, we can fool them with a pass or something.
I have read some on the draft picks but not awhole lot, but from what I have read and saw their are some players there you can get in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round for the offensive line.
I go with the thinking that you always take the best player available when you draft, regardless or position. Now, if it happens that a top OT Or OG or Wr or LB is there, then you chose what you need, but you never, ever reach for a player, you stay with your board and listen to your scouts.
To me, we need a top OT, top OG, speedy fleet WR, top S or CB, and a kickoff returner and punt returner and a kicker. If we can fill one of those positions with a top FREE AGENT, that fills one spot and if we can sign that kicker from canada if he is any good, (by that I mean what the coaches see when he is kicking FGs etc) then that fills another position.
That would fill 2 of our biggest needs, then we can concentrate with our top 3 picks in rounds 1-3 to fill the other needs.
You would still have your 4th rounder that you probably could trade down if u see players that you have bracketed, with enough players for trading down to still get a good player in the 4th round. Remember we got Choice in the 4th round by trading down best I remember. And you would recoup a 5th rounder to get a player that might can develop over a year or 2.
thats what I would do. Again, we dont need quanity of players like we did last year, with drafting 12 players, but we need quality players. We need at least 2 impact players that can help us right away.
Hopefully that OT and OG can be ready by the time we hit November and we can rest our starters like Columbo, Flozell, Kosier while the youngsters keep improving by playoff time this year.
