I can understand taking Oher, and I can see moving Winston to OG, but then we turn around and take another OG in round 2? I don't see that.

Oher is BPA at 3, and he has all the attributes you look for, at least until I see him at the Senior Bowl. Having a stud like Oher and a solid player like Brown at OT this OL would have it's bookends. Winston and Pitts at OG could be solid.

Again I am looking at the Eagles to trade down with.

At 13 Taylor Mays (S) USC
At 28 Brian Orakpo (DE) Texas
Round 2 Marcus Freeman (OLB) Ohio State
Round 3 P.J. Hill (RB) Wisconsin
Round 4 Antoine Caldwell (OC) Alabama
Round 5 Todd Boeckman (QB) Ohio State
Round 6 Cary Harris (CB) USC
Round 7 Dan Gronkowski (TE) Maryland

Something like this would help us gain young defensive talent fast.

So you think Mays is better than William Moore of Missouri or
Nic Harris of Oklahoma?

Personally I wouldnt cry if we went OL early. Adding Oher to this line would definatly be an upgrade. Having a dominating OL would help the defense by controling the clock.

This one surprised me!

27. Denver Broncos - *Donald Brown (RB) Connecticut
Analysis: It's strange to look at the Broncos as a passing team, but that's what they've become with Cutler at the helm and (more importantly) Selvin Young and Andre Hall carrying the ball. Brown is an ideal fit for the Broncos one cut and go offense, he'll put up big numbers right away and give this offense more balance.

He is the sleeper player I have been talking about. I was hoping he would last until the 3rd or 4th round. Looks like he starting to get noticed.

I have Mays and Moore as #1 and 1A. I want to see them run, Mays is huge and seems to be strong in coverage also

Oher in the 1st would be a huge addition, I also like Dukes, just not at #3. [/quote]

I saw that and felt just like you. Of course I had Chris Johnson as a late 2nd early 3rd rounder around this time last year.

Default I'm Agin It

As they say, "I'm a'gin it"! Right now with the way our defense is underperforming, it would be a crime to go offense. We Need RDE and MLB/OLB plus insurance CB more than anything else in the world. I might........might consider offense after round 4!

RDE - Michael Johnson, Ga. tech, 6-7, 257
MLB - Dannel Elerbe, 6-7, 235 (put some weight on him)
CB - Ryan Palmer, UT, 5'9 1/4", 190

I think you mean. Dannell Ellerbe | Georgia Height: 6'1" Weight: 243 40: 4.61

BTW my take had us going defense with the 1st 3 picks.

Yea, that's who I meant. Should pay more attention to my spelling.

While Oher might be the "star" pick, there is nothing that wrong with the Oline now. It is not the best, but it is workable which means if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Haynesworth would be a "star" F/A signing for sure, and would hugely upgrade the Dline, but at what cost? Do we want another lazy overpriced F/A? He has been known to only be motivated when it suits him, not the team. Remember we still have Okam who hasn't even been tested yet! Let's keep a level head here.

Dont forget there is also Free Agency. There are some pretty good D players available. I want our front 7 on D and our OL stock piled with talent. Everything after round 4 can go for the rest.

I think we have to grab someone for the D'line to round it out in f/a. Waiting for someone to develop right now isn't really productive because we've spent so much there with so little in return. plus it gives one less thing to aim for in the draft.

Couldnt agree more. My top 2 FA targets are
1.) A Haynesworth
2.) Terrell Suggs

Haynesworth would do so much for this team IMO.
