I'd be MORE than happy.I envision us losing the next 5 games at least and am 50-50 on the last 2 that just won't matter by then. I see us drafting in the 12-14 range and should get at least one really good pick, hopefully Brandon Harris-CB or Prince Amukamara-CB. I also envision a coaching change and it'll be really hard to predict the draft until we see who the new head coach is.
I support this!I'd like to start with drafting a new defensive coordinator .....
I hate to bring this up but I'm concerned about Demeco's injury and him coming back. I feel like Diles is the only player we've had that has come back from a serious injury and still be a good player. In this sense, if Demeco isn't the same I say we just promote him to Defensive Coordinator.I'd like to start with drafting a new defensive coordinator .....

If Kubiak is the coach, I do not expect a corner to be drafted high or probably a free safety either. I have Nick Fairly as first round and a CB in second as that position is deeper imo than DT. We should still get a decent COVER CB. Unfortunately, I don't see any FS in first three rounds although my mock partners Beer Lover and Rmartin 65 are trying to convince me Peterson from LSU has more upside at that position than @ CB.
Wolf, I'm thinking you have the draft spot targeted.

I think they're right, Peterson's size will work against him in the NFL. His backpedal isn't very good and his size will work against him in his change of direction. He does have good speed and a sense for the ball which should work great for him as a FS but quick agile WR's will tear him up in the NFL as a CB. I like Prince Amukamara and Brandon Harris amongst CB's in the 1st round.
I can see us drafting as high as 8. If that occurred would you go DT Nick Fairley who is having a monstrous year for Auburn, FS Patrick Peterson corner speed at FS position that could make our CBs instantly better or a true CB like Amukamara or Brandon Harris? Might make an interesting thread as nothing else is going on.I think they're right, Peterson's size will work against him in the NFL.

Keep in mind that in second round you could see CB Jimmy Smith, DT Drake Nevis or FS Rahim Moore or Deandre McDaniel.
It would be awfully hard to pass on FairleyI can see us drafting as high as 8.

Would you agree Fairley would be the BPA if he's on the board?Really crappy teams draft BPA. Really good teams draft BPA. Average teams will try to fill a hole or two.
We are a really crappy team that needs to draft the best defensive player available. We are thin everywhere, including linebacker.
I really can't speak knowledgeably on draft prospects like many other folks here can.Would you agree Fairley would be the BPA if he's on the board?
Likewise. I really got into following everyone's mocks last year and am looking forward to it this year as well. The way things are going now, I feel like it's an appropriate time to start looking ahead instead of waiting until February.I really can't speak knowledgeably on draft prospects like many other folks here can.
That's a really tough question and it's why real GM's get paid the big bucks. If we're in that position I think I'd pick Prince Amukamara in the 1st round and then hopefully Rahim Moore, Deandre McDaniel, Stephen Paea, or some other top level talent falls to us in the 2nd.I can see us drafting as high as 8.

This draft sure doesn't seem to have the depth or quality of last years draft and I don't see alot of potential past the 2nd round.
There's always next year. Correct?Likewise. I really got into following everyone's mocks last year and am looking forward to it this year as well. The way things are going now, I feel like it's an appropriate time to start looking ahead instead of waiting until February.
I agree on Prince as he looks like a possible shutdown corner and opposing QBs are not even looking his way this season. If he could eliminate one side of the field and nullify the #1 WR, that would be better than a DT like Fairley, especially if I could get Drake Nevis or Powe in 2nd.That's a really tough question and it's why real GM's get paid the big bucks.

*Note I have some question marks about the last three you named.
That's what I'm living, as always, next year.There's always next year. Correct?
Sounds Samoan...that's who we should get...unless there's an epic samoan DT we can nab.I envision us losing the next 5 games at least and am 50-50 on the last 2 that just won't matter by then.

I think a quality DT is one of our BIGGEST needs as they dont hit the FA market often or hardly ever. I hate to go Dline again but we just dont have ANY solid ones. Just Depth.Impact safety, DT, and CB is still on the list, huh?
