(Hoping for Alex Mack myself), I think what everyone else is saying is that if you get someone like Marquise Lee to drop to 34, take him. Myself I just wanna know who our coach is and who we sign in FA before I decide who I want for the draft:

My dream Free Agents:
1. Jairus Byrd (Would settle for TJ Ward also)
2. Alterraun Verner (Would settle for Sam Shields or Talib)
3. Alex Mack
4. Jeremy Maclin (Would be cheaper than Decker although Decker is the better player)
5. ANY PUNTER!!!!
2.

I have an out of the box idea...wait and draft a quality DB/Safety what about Phillip Thomas?

New coach will not want to use this tiny ass offensive line we have. Event the younger ones we used picks on might not make the cut with the new scheme. Need to go heavy on offensive line for our franchise QB.

I am speculating that Bruce will want hogs (i.e. Le Rib, Gettis, Compton) We have some 0-line talent.

I will be.....real disappointed if there is not significant effort to solidify the O and D line
....and maybe a little D secondary as well...Httr

Le Rib seems like a natural born hog. Le Rib Boss Hog!!!!! The divisional elimination game against Dallas where The Redskins won, Le Rib got in an was mauling cow girls because he likes TexMex food.

Other than the WR from the Bengals, I like the combination of a flashy signing or two suggested as well as several solid signings. Kinda surprised by them not talking of bringing back Orakpo, but if his contract offers get crazy out of control like Krugers last year I'm okay with him walking or maybe doing a restricted tag offer for him. But if some of these came to fruition it could provide more flexibility with our draft options to focus primarily on oline and dline.

The nimble cutback o-line style was nice for Alfmo but it stunk for pass protection.
Gimme some hogs!

There should be a early 2nd round pick that scouts give a first round grade.....we should be able to land a ggood player.

I have a sneaky feeling we may wind up switching back to a 4-3.If this is the case a 4-3 OLB becomes a pretty big need.

I will be very disappointed if we don't make a strong push for Byrd in FA. The safeties in this draft look kind of weak and we haven't had a centerfielder type FS since Taylor passed.

So much will depend on the coach that comes in.

I agree with this. Jairus Byrd probably won't settle for less than 10 million a year, but he'd be worth it. He alone would upgrade our secondary from bad to respectable. And outside of Pryor, Buchanon, and Clinton-Dix, all who will probably be gone by the 3rd round, the safety class is pretty weak. So assuming we don't take a safety with our first pick, Byrd needs to be a top priority.

10 million is too much for any player that is not a QB.

I agree. But safety is a huge need, so we basically have 3 options: overpay Byrd and drastically improve our secondary, take a safety with our first pick in this years' draft and miss out on some good OL that will be available, or sign a stopgap in FA and hope Rambo, Thomas, Meriweather, and whoever else we have is good enough to get by. Berry makes 10.2 million a year, Polamulu makes 10.1, and Weddle makes 8.6. So I doubt Byrd would settle for much less than 10. And we have a lot of cap space, so I'm in favor of signing him.

34th pick should be spent on either RT or Front Seven. Best available from that group

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

We drafted Crawford, who I felt would work his way into the starting lineup this year before he got hurt, with him and Thomas coming back I think it gives our secondary a boost, but we still need a FS, we don't have one on the roster. Whether it be Byrd or Ward or whomever, we will have to add one this off-season. You can't expect to strike god with every draft pick. Seattle spent this last off season signing a good bit of DL and it has helped them.
