It might work out that way, but I hope we are more fortunate with who is available when we pick. Vinny Curry I particularly don't much like, too small for DE(266) , too slow for LB(4.9-40) and has some bagage. Watch Ted Thompson pick him and prove me wrong. LOL

I still think they should try to trade down a few spots. I don't have a problem with Konz, but I think he's more early 2nd quality than late 1st. Same with Mercilus, Curry, Worthy, Branch, Hightower, and any others I've seemed named for #28. I see many, if not most of those being available at 33-40ish.

McClellin's my favorite of all the ones that I've been mentioned in various places for the Pack in round 1, but I think he's a reach at 28, too. Trade out of the first round, Ted!

I'd be a whole lot happier with DE Mercilus, OLB Lewis and DE Crawford without trade in 1, 2 and 3.

That changes everything, there's a huge difference between 4.9 and 4.64. Heck...there's a huge difference between 4.9 and 4.8 for a LB who has to play in space. Actually, I'm glad to hear that. If they are satisfied they can correct and/or live with his bagage it's another prospect.

I'm hoping we can get a DE in rd 1 because I think we have a better chance of getting an OLB to fill our needs in rd 2 than to get a DE to do so.

At a lot of positions, I would agree, but I don't mind having a solid rotation at a position like DE/OLB. The Steelers recently drafted Worilds in the 2nd round with Woodley and Harrison on the roster. The current SB champions took JPP while having Tuck, Umenyiora and Kiwanuka on the roster.

Heck, even one of our best pass rushing defenses in recent history had a 3-deep starting caliber rotation with Kampman, Jenkins and KGB.

We're in such dire need of something opposite of Clay that you could pretty much wait 'till day 3 and still find an immediate starter.

That's not a positive.

Of course, that is an extreme view, one I wouldn't prefer. But, imagine, if it were to happen, it would be pretty frickin' wild. I do believe we are that close to repeating as SB champs. One big ass pass rush away. Even without a S pick...

Not what I want him to do necessarily, but it certainly would be a thrill to know we will be putting a lot of QBs on their backs this season. Those types of players front 7 do wonders for a secondary.

i just hope he really goes after those positions, and we need more than one DE and OLB each, for sure. Pick and Raji could use a blow too with a quality backup NT.

I won't go that extreme, but I see what you're getting at. Yes, we were two players away (pass rushers) from winning it all and an elite pass rush could cover up a mediocre secondary.

So getting 2 OLBs and 2 DLs would be nice. Maybe even a total of 5 or 6 between those positions. But we do need help in other areas. I want at least 2 OL picks and of course, Ted will pick one WR. A RB who can block/catch would be nice too. And one or two DBs would be nice.
