You are delusional if you think DL is a higher priority than S this year

All these people who are saying we should go D-line over safety & o-line in the draft are crazy. Your telling me a line consisting of Dware, Hatcher, Ratliff, & Spencer is in more need of a player than Saftey?, Where we have a decent player in Church coming off a bad injury, and Matt Johnson who is also coming off an injury & hasn't shown ANYTHING. I'm all for drafting d-line after we can get a guard & safety that can start.

OL>S>DL>LB>RB

If the choice is between a Lotulelei, Richardson, or Floyd and Vacarro it may end up being one of those DTs because of talent value not necessarily because DT is thought to be a greater need.

DL is loaded with guys over thirty who they are counting on to stay healthy and productive. Not delusional at all.

I just dont see how DT could be a greater need than safety & o-line this year? I think Ratliff & Hatcher will fit & play better in the 4-3. I can see us going Dline first in next years draft but I dont see the reason for it this year..

Atleast there are guys on the D-line who can play NOW. Who the hell is gonna play safety for us? It not like were "ageing" at safety, because we have NO ONE besides maybe church who can play safety. & dont even get me started with our O-line... our safties are injury prone? Aren't they both coming off injures? Didn't bernadeu just have another surgery? Im not saying we dont need more defensive line men but in terms of "need" we have no one to play FS & we desperately need an upgrade at guard or tackle.

Not delusional. We invested plenty into the secondary last year and years past. Either draft an o-linemen and protect Romo/Murray or draft a d-linemen and kill the other quarterback. FFS.

Sign someone like Bernard Pollard for all I care.

I'm sure safety will be addresed with a veteran. There are lots of them still out there.

We have to fix the oline, that has to be the priority.

Yea we've really "invested" in our secondary in years past when we draft 1 DB in round 1-3 since 2004 excluding last years draft. & that player was mike Jenkins. We drafted a total of 10 o-line/d-lineman since then in the first 3 rounds. Yeah, we really "invested" in our secondary.. We need a safety. Its not like were trying to upgrade, we actully NEED a safety. We have noone proven who can play. Lol you are delusional

Not remotely delusional. Hatcher is a FA next year. Ratliff isn't going to last 600 snaps at 1.

Im totally fine with that. Im not saying we should go safety first round because like I said, o-line is a bigger issue than any other position on this team. I just want someone who can play the position & be decent. I'd be happy if we signed a vet safety & went oline first round. Il be good with either warmack, cooper, or fluker.

You can pout all you want. If you don't win at the line, you lose. We paid for DBs in the past. We spent 2 picks for Claiborne and 50 mill for Carr.But hey, lets totally exclude last year for kicks. Let's go out and draft a position the NFL has severely NERFED in its quest for a flag football league.

Yeah this rookie S is really going to step up and show us what a tampa 2 defense looks like. Brace yourselves.

You trust your scouts and your board. If DL is clearly superior to OL and S at 18 then you take the BPA. If they are all in the same tier then you can afford to pick need by priority. I have no idea what their priorities are and certainly not their grades in any round.

Lol who said im pouting? & I never said we need to draft a safety. & you acting like we haven't spent money on linemen? Please. & if I were to count Claiborne last year, it would be 3 since 2004. That sound better? lmao THIS YEAR we need a safety more than a DT. Enough said. We have 2 starters at DT. We have 1 at safety. logically. Funny how you dont understand. Hey while we're at it we should draft another TE right? Because Witten has gotten old & was injured recently? Lmao I hope you know that was sarcasm
