We wouldn't have much luck without Andre. The same could be said about most teams losing their best player. If at some point, Dre becomes injured or is a Free Agent that we can no longer keep, then we will probably draft a WR in the first round. Right now, we just have to keep our fingers crossed that Dre stays healthy and happy. The team wouldn't have much luck if Ryans or Schaub went down either, but we can't really draft their counterparts either.

How do you pass him up at 20? A super group of LBs, Cushing Ryans Weatherspoon, makes so much sense to me....

We are going to have trouble ever becoming a championship team if we don't develop players before the need actually arises. There is pretty good evidence already that Dre isn't all that happy and wants to play for a team that has a chance at a ring. I can't blame him really.

I look at the NE Patriots. They can lose important players and have someone waiting in the wings to come forward. Welker goes down and Edelman fills in well. Their QB hits the dirt and Cassel (sp?) comes to the rescue. They have been able to acquire first round choices by trading off good players and having just as good players waiting to take their place. Having a 1.A and 1.B WR on the team is required as far as I am concerned until he is used or traded. AD might still be tradable or keep him another year.

Roy:

As usual, you trumped me. Yes, he looks very good, length, speed, and athleticism. Not sure about his routes, but his hands look decent. NFL Draft Scout lists him at number 40 out of 400+ receivers. Project him into the 7th round or UFA. I doubt he would ever be a #1 receiver but you never know. Plaxico Burress is about that size and he did pretty well until his head exploded.

The board is down to 60. As much as I like LeFevour and Skelton, I've decided to not draft a QB this year. I've also decided to add C.J. Spiller since there are conversations out there that he could fall to #20. He's not was we need, but he'd be the BPA most likely if he makes it to me. So, without further ado.....

Just found some video of a few of my favorite players in this draft. Linval Joseph is a Big Body that can rotate with S. Cody at the NT.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFTup...eature=related

Ben Tate is my favorite RB, but I wonder if he's still there in the 3rd round. I may just have to take him at #50.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfBkonPBFGY

Alterraun Verner and Crezdon Butler as CB on the 3rd day

NFLDraftScout.com has some vids up on CBSSports.com too.

I'll admit I'm a bit late to the party, but Tate really jumps off the page for me. Explosive, powerful runner with speed. The combo of speed/strength stats make Tate look like a buy in the 2nd round for me.

I'll also add that I like Montario Hardesty in this area as well. Concerned about his injury history a little, but he seemed to put it together last year. Regardless, having these two available in the 2nd round ought to make it easier to not force a pick in the first I hope.

I like McCourty & Tate more than I like Mathews & Ghee. Just sayin'....

Ok, maybe I'll rethink that line of thinking.....If there were just a CB in the first round that I could really get behind and say, "that's the guy we need!" I'm just afraid we are going to draft the next Carlos Rogers or Aaron Ross instead of the next 5-Time Pro-Bowler.

[Roy P]

There are two players that I'd like to compare before the draft....I'll call them M and T.

M - 55 Tackles, 18.5 Tackles For Loss, 12.5 Sacks.
T - 65 Tackles, 14 Tackles For Loss, 11 Sacks.

M - 6' 3", 266lbs, 4.77 - 40 yard dash, 1.60 - 10 yard split
T - 6' 3.5", 267lbs, 4.72 - 40 yard dash, 1.61 - 10 yard split

M - His career totals include 29.5 tackles-for-loss, 19.5 sacks, six fumbles recovered and five pass break-ups.
T - 194 tackles, 47 tackles for loss and as the school's all-time leader with 30 career sacks.

Derrick Morgan is considered to be a top 10 pick.
Daniel Te'o-Nesheim is considered to be a 4th or 5th round pick.

I'm just trying to understand the value here. I will be following these two players for the next 3 years to see which one produces more 'bang for the buck' at the next level. I find it interesting that USC players get graded "evenly" while the other Pac-10 schools get downgraded when compared to East Coast counterparts. Gerhart is getting some bias against him and he played AGAINST USC defenses and broke tackles against Clay Mathews and Brian Cushing. There is the C.J. Spiller vs. Jahvid Best arguments too so, I'm hopeful that it's East vs. West bias and not racism. Maybe I should put Jahvid on my draftboard, since I've added Spiller here recently.

Because Best has a history of concussions, I'd put him after Mathews and above Patrick Robinson.

[Roy P]

With only the first round happening, I'm just going to list my top 20. I'll readjust the draftboard after round one is in the books. I've got some late-comers on the board and some guys I kicked off are back on.

I know we drafted Earl Mitchell, but I still want Geno Atkins. Cam Thomas could replace Frank Okam. Plenty of DBs and some LBs.

I'm excited to see Slaton, Tate, and Foster in the backfield. If Slaton can return to 2008 form and Foster improves on how he finished, look out...

We traded down from #50 got an extra pick and still got my guy. Yeah, I'm stoked.
