I am changing my mind from Jenkins to Raji.

The NT position is so critical we can not afford to guess if Pickett will be good and need to answer the question of who will step up if he goes down?

I will say I like Pickett and feel he will do well but when the defense relies so heavily on this position I would want them to go to Raji for insurance. One fear I have is that with Denver also migrating to the 3-4 that they jump us in order to get him before we can.

Other than that move I don't see where we don't have a shot at him and it could be if we get jumped that Curry or Jenkins is still there which wouldn't hurt my feelings.

IF we could not get Raji, Curry, or, Jenkins I would almost be inclined to trade back five spots or so if it meant getting a Brian Cushing type player and picking up another mid-second rounder.

That would give us five players in the first three rounds and I think we could shore up a couple of weak spots with this strong draft class.

Raji would be nice. I don't see the team lining up the same NT and DEs play after play. Try imagining Picket, Raji, Jenkins on run downs. A packer version of the williams wall.

Everybody seems to have large concerns about the DL, but my largest concern is on the O-line. Both tackle positions need to be replaced either this year or next, and we are in a great position to draft a blue chip LT prospect in this draft. I want O line help that's ready to play day 1, not the project guys we currently have.

I agree we need to draft a nose tackle, but we should be able to get one later.

I guess I feel like this is the kind of announcement that warrants a press conference, warhawk...

I also think it wouldn't hurt to add one tweener in the second round or so after we get the big NT in the first round.

Or that could easily be switched around...get a tweener in the first and get a big NT in the second.

You pretty much have me swayed. I would like Raji or Everette Brown, but if one of those top 4 OT prospects reaches #9 and we pass on him, I get the feeling we will be missing him in a year or two. I am intrigued by a number of players, but need-wise I think you're right.

On the flip side though, think about Everette Brown. He has tremendous natural talent as a pass rusher. Imagine what some tutelage under Greene could do. He could be something special.

And if you want Raji in the 1st but we don't take him, keep an eye on his counterpart on that BC D-line, Ron Brace. He was the immovable rock in the interior line that allowed Raji to fly all over the place and disrupt.

Myself, I have concerns about both lines. I would be happy as could be if Ted Thompson uses all picks on lineman on either side of the ball.

Why does everyone want Malcolm Jenkins? It's effectively giving up on Pat Lee, last year's second rounder, whom I think has a lot of potential.

I think we should trade our first rounder and 3rd rounder or something like that to Philadelphia for their first rounders. Then trade the other 3rd rounder and 4th rounder into late 2nd round. Ideally, we could have:

William Beatty - 5th best OT in the draft
Tyson Jackson - DE spot opposite of Jenkins
Ron Brace - NT
Robert Ayers - OLB Tweener

That's our 4 biggest needs filled right there. We would still have 5th, 6th, 7th and any compensation picks the league will give us.
