So we all know that the "battery" (NT, ILB and S) of our defense needs upgrades this upcoming draft. In an ideal world we select three players that step in and instantly help. But as we've found out the hard way in the past, that's probably not gonna happen. Furthermore, nabbing talent at these positions at the top of the draft would burn 3 up picks when other positions could use addressing such as C or TE as well as the fact that this is a deep draft at WR. We'll assume that at each pick the team has a NT, ILB and S rated equally. Pick two.

We don't need a nose tackle. BJ Raji is going to play is fat ass off, and Jolly will back him up. We don't need a safety cause Micah Hyde and Richardson are going to do the job. We need a 6-4 receiver and an athletic tight end.

As the draft moves closer I am desiring more and more that big offensive target who can make linebackers pay. We'll see what happens.

I'll take S and NT. Raji horrifies me in the middle given his tanking nature. Hope Boyd makes a jump or they better play more 4-3 than anyone expects.

Tired of MD Jennings types at Safety...not in stature but in ability to make plays back there. Like most, I have a feeling they have overvalued Hyde and think they're going to be fine back there.

Guess that means Nix and Ward?

ILB Borland may be able to be had even later than the 3rd as well as the oft talked about Bullough.

Still, I'm with Dakota... a TE and WR makes more than enough good sense. Everyone is thinking it's going to be D selected up high but I'm not so sure that is how it will go.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Between lack of playmaking at S, lack of ILB depth in this draft and Raji being inconsistent/playing on a one year deal/TT penchant for looking for big bodies early ultimately I think they value those two positions early over ILB. Plus I think they're higher on Hawk and Jones then we are as well as optimistic about Lattimore taking a step up.

Nice to see someone else who wouldn't mind a high pick on a TE👍

Which two positions would you prioritize?

Clearly, we need more than one Safety and ILB in the early rounds. As much of a fat piece of shit Raji is, we do NOT need to compound the problem by drafting another fat piece of shit NT. We have several quality MOBILE D-Linemen who would be a lot better there, in addition to Jolly as a backup.

Unless some really highly rated TE or WR falls to us in any given round, we also do not need a TE or WR. The same could be said for Corner or OLB - no real need, but after we fill the need at Safety and ILB, and if one falls to us, grab him.

I would rather compile a list of "do not draft", at least not early - D-Line at the top of the list along with QB and RB. I would also put O-Line in the do not draft early category.
