Anyone think there's any possibility of some magic deal that gets us into Round 1?










Me neither. We wait for Friday.

Everything I've heard about this year says that the draft is basically loaded with 2nd and 3rd round prospects while being a little short on 1st round prospects. Many teams are going to want to trade back to capitalize on the depth.

Scouts Inc for example has broken it down like this.

1st Round Grade: 25 Players
2nd Round Grade: 38 Players
3rd Round Grade: 48 Players

111 Players

Compare this to last year

1st Round Grade: 27 Players
2nd Round Grade: 39 Players
3rd Round Grade: 35 Players

101 Players

If ever there was a year to be okay with not having a first round pick this one might be it. Regardless heres hoping that one of the three SEC safeties (Elam - UF, Reid - LSU, or Swearinger - USCar) fall to us in the 2nd. Though I would be just as happy with Shamarko Thomas - Syracuse. JJ Wilcox - Georgia Southern, would be an interesting pick seeing as how I went to school there and theres a lot to like about him but I don't feel like he's a plug and play starter. Rather a raw prospect with lots of potential.

Personally I hope they address Safety before Corner. Much bigger need and a position that I feel is more important then corner.

good post, maybe grabbing as many 3rd and 4th round picks might be a good idea
