Two places this pick can go. Highest rated T, or highest rated S.
Period.

If a 2nd round value RB or WR is there at our 3rd round at our third round pick, absolutely.

Our RB rotation is ok, borderline decent but Hightower has been a change of pace back his whole career.. Shanny has called Helu and Royster change of pace backs as well. None of them has the look of a feature back. Helu has tantalizing skills, but I question his vision. I think he misses too many holes to be a feature guy. If there is a guy who we think can be THE guy (Doug Martin, Lamar Miller) of course pick him.

Same with our WR rotation. I'm of the belief that our WR group in 2013 will only have Hankerson and Paul (maybe Robinson if he shows something in camp) from the 2011 group so there's at least one more player that needs to be brought in. If a Brian Quick, Rueben Randle, Mohamad Sanu is sitting there, run-don't walk-that pick to the podium.

I agree that tackle and safety are greater needs but I'm not a subscriber to drafting for need in the 3rd round. If the #7 tackle or #5 safety is on the board but the #2 RB or #4 WR is there, you take the best player available that's not redundant at a position of depth.
