CB for 1st pick in upcoming draft

[Mr teX]

I would have to disagree with taking a CB as our first pick. How do you build a wall? From the foundation up. I say we draft another DE. We still don't have a pass rush. I remember talk at the beginning of the year when it was pointed out that if you have a strong front 7 then that takes pressure off your secondary.

I am going to bring up an Oiler fact there MR TEX, in case you were to young to remember there was a DE tandem back in the days of the House of Pain. There names where William Fuller and Sean Jones with Al Smith anchoring the middle. Even with Dishman back in the secondary that was one bad F'n D. That is exactly what this team needs. Heck, they even made Bo Orlando look good.

I say we draft a stud DE and go after a premier OLB in FA. Weaver has turned out to be a steal of a DT paired with a good end, Williams and Ryans securing the middle, you will see a much better secondary.

Yep, remember those days but outside dunta who is really worthy of starting back there? no one. Plus the game has changed somewhat with the surge of the mobile QB coming strong the last couple of years. It is no longer enough to get up the field you need fast cover guys back there to make the QB hold the ball just a bit longer while they are running around "buying" time for guys to get open. We don't have that now.

Sage had a great tackle today. How about a quarterback that can lead a defense?

Yes ....and injured his hand. Where were the other eight guys who were supposed to be covering the FG return ? Inquiring minds want to know. Put that one down in thw "how stuuuupid was that ?" catigory along with Spencer's broken leg.

Well the other 8 guys were 300 pound lineman who were doing there best to get there but not suprisingly, Sage is faster than them.

As the Bears have found out, there is a good way to take advantage of a missed field goal cuz every team in the league uses their biggest guys as the blockers.

I have a better idea...we should sign asante samuels away from new england or nate clements away from buffalo...both are gonna want more than they will offer and i say pay anything b/c we need help for dunta ****ing bad. now as far as our first pick...if possible we should draft jake long from michigan. that boy is 6'5 300+ and all power. he moved the line against ohio state and wow he can play. Carr is fine, lundy is getting better. with our second round pick i say go for antonio pittman from ohio state or trade up to get adrian petterson. 3-5th round all DBs we need to reload our secondary.

I like your calls. Your calls are original. Another front line corner has to be on the top of their list. Be interesting to see how far Pitman falls. I think a second is way overvaluing his skill set. JMHO. Doubt Long last into the third round though. I agree. With our top two DTs on IR, they need a young wide body at DT.

Antonio Pittman is a Jr. & I wouldnt be suprised if he stayed another year to pad his draft status.

Jake Long is a beast. He was single-handedly opening up holes for Hart against Ohio St, which is no small feat. I think he is the second best OT behind Thomas.

1. Gaither
2. Thomas


5. Everyone else including Long

Do whatever we can to sign either Asante Samuel or Nate Clements. If we can only sign 1 premier free agent, these guys are it. Both of them are atleast 25 so its like picking up a RFA without the compensation.

From there, depending on our draft position:

stud OL or Landry in the 1st.
