1. Prince Amukamara-CB, this pick might take a little luck but with Gabbert, Newton, Quinn, and Jones moving up the chart it's very possible for Amukamara to fall to us. He's got great speed and potential, also fills a huge team need.
2. Brooks Reed-OLB, I'm torn between Reed and Acho and could honestly go either way here. Reed has great size and motor and with the switch to the 3-4 we'll need lots of athletic LB's.
3. Jerrell Powe-NT, great size for the position and although he might not collapse the pocket often he's a good run stuffer and block eater. He needs to add some strength but that will come from and NFL level weight lifting program.
4. Joe Lefeged-SS, good size for the position and great speed. It sounds like we're moving Glover Quin to FS so I picked a SS because we're apparently letting Pollard walk.
5. Steven Friday-OLB, great size, speed, and pass coverage ability. He's got some character flaws so the Texans may shy away from him, if they do then the pick is Mike Mohamed-ILB.
6. Lee Ziemba-OT/OG, it sounds like Butler will be gone in FA so we'll need someone to take the swing tackle spot and at least 1 O-lineman should be added each year.
7. Derek Epperson-P, Turks replacement.
I took 2 secondary players, 2 LB's, 1 NT, 1 O-lineman, and Punter. I doubled up on our 2 biggest needs, added some size and quality to the D-line, added some depth to the O-line, and replaced Turk.
Let's hear it.
