Say what you want about the team's talent or lack there of, but after all the injured players are healed up, there will be depth on all sorts of positions.

I'm assuming Raji will let be let go and we pay Pickett veteran's minimum. The biggest holes would be at safety, defensive line, and offensive line.

So I'm hoping the BPA falls under those needs. If not, honestly it really won't surprise me to see Ted pick up a QB in the mid-rounds. This draft is infested with backup QB's with promise. And I like Tolzien.

Not talking about the "21st pick" in the draft, but at some point - 3rd to 5th round maybe, I'd really like to see us pick up Chris Borland.

I hope it's Lattimore and Hawk starting at ILB, with Borland (or some other similar level draft prospect) transitioning in for Hawk over the course of the season.

I said earlier, priority for the first round IMO is a Safety, but if Hyde is deemed to be the solution there, and a better Corner prospect than Safety is available at #21, then go that route.

Just don't draft a damn TE high in the draft - as I suspect Thompson will do.

Lattimore seems great against the run... but horrible in coverage... it's really annoying... you see him in there make a couple great plays, and it's like, "Why isn't this guy starting?"... then you see some of his reallly bad plays and it's like "Oh that's why..." ...

Though I sorta want to see what Richardson looks like as a coverage ILB... yeah he MIGHT get blown up by some of the lead blocking but so does Brad Jones... of course they have to fix the Safety problem first.

Besides, TE is a position where it's hard to predict star or bust or in between. Take the two you mentioned for example.

Not going BPA and drafting purely for need is what teams like the Jaguars tend to do. That nets you guys like Alualu at 10 overall and Gabbert in that same slot. The Lions did the same thing before they started drafting BPA. They've take a big step up from those days since they went with a guy like Farley, even though DT wasn't a need at that time.

The draft is just not something you should fill holes with like that. That's what FA is for. Even if we do barely use FA, that doesn't mean you want to go and then use the draft as a substitute.

People saying a TE but I really don't think it is that huge of a need. If we have Nelson, Cobb, Jones and Boykin, is a TE really that important? Quarless did a very good job at the end and he is a good blocker. I would worry more about the lines and safety. I see on walters football they have us taking Mosely at ILB.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)
