Owen Daniels would b an epic waste of a roster spot. Hope we get penn, that would be an upgrade.

Agree. Would like to see us draft Xavier Grimble TE USC 6th-FA.

This is a good draft for TEs, there are plenty of TEs better than Grimble. I would use a 3rd or 4th round pick on a good TE...... Nicklas, CJ Fiedorowitz,

It blows my mind that we get Tracy porter and people are talking about taking a WR in the 2nd and TE in the 3-4th. Seems like to me our porous secondary from last season is our most glaring issue. The first couple rounds need to address safety and cornerback IMO

I don't think it's a very deep or good draft for that and we went defense last year so I don't think there going to draft another young safety.

I understand.

However, I'd almost bet my monthly paycheck that a WR will be our first pick, whether we like it or not. Just as his brother is a QB collector, Jay Gruden in Cincy was a receiver collector. The argument that RGIII really could use another elite weapon will win the day.

I personally think it is a good argument - in today's NFL, the team with the most weapons often wins. But I also would have signed a good FA safety.

Hopefully we will nab a FS like Terrence Brooks in the third.

I am not under the illusion Porter is a good CB, however they now have 2 veteran CBs, and 2 young ones (Amerson + Crawford)... possibly Minnifield. Also the CB depth in this draft is questionable. Who would you take in the 2nd ?

I would not pick a WR with the 2nd round pick, if a great player slips to the second round I take him... otherwise trade down, and add picks . They still need help everywhere.

I agree , Im hoping OL , DB , DL or LB in rd 2 . Our first 2 picks should contribute this year and make an impact . We could add 3 WR's and it won't mean squat if or OL and Defense are weak .

We could trade down in the second round and still take a good WR with our first pick. IMO we will do this.

That would be nice , add another pick in rd 3 or 4 . I hope we go OL and Defense early .

CBs -
Jason Verrett -TCU
Kyle Fuller - VT
Bradley Roby - OSU

And let me say this. I am not as opposed to a 2nd round pick on a very high quality receiver, if we are certain he is going to pan out, as I am talking about taking a TE in the 3rd/4th. Memories of Thomas/Kelly from a few years ago still brings back nightmares.

Yes this league is set up to require multiple talents at receiver to do anything prolific with your offense. But it has also shown you need a shut down secondary to stop those prolific offenses, and as Seattle has just shown us, defense wins championships even against the likes of the immortal Peyton Manning.

As others have said, Oline and secondary are our two biggest areas of need. We struck out on Browner, Talib, Thurmond, and probably others I don't even know about. Hatcher was a good signing and I would love to bring in Penn (hope that pans out tomorrow). Secondary is going to have to be addressed. How many times/people pissed and moaned about our porous secondary last year watching meriweather knock himself out and have CB's toasted like marshmallows over a campfire? We need to draft at least one CS and Safety, maybe two, for me to be happy.

Verrett is 5'9" a great productive athlete, injury problems... torn labrum..... maybe if he is there

Roby arrested for a bar fight, and suspended in 2013...."Roby had a forgettable senior season with poor performances in big games" No Thanks

Fuller rated #59... 24 tackles and 2 interceptions in 2013... sports hernia... not in the early second round

Again I never said WR or TE in the second, I like a 2 TE package, we already have one very good one, a second would add a lot to the offense

best option is probably trade down
