DoCt3rJ said:If you think about it I think we will be looking at corner in rounds 1-3, I doubt in the first round, but, Glenn is about to be gone. I don't think Faggin's will be a good starter, hes a little slow, but hes a excellent nickel back. We also really need help at safety once again. Coleman was injured, and hes also probably about to retire, then theres Glenn Earl, who hasn't showen me nothing at all. I like that big safety in the first round. I also would like another MLB in the 2nd/3rd round, or move Kailee to middle and Peek to replace him.
F-minus67 said:the guy sounds pretty good, but when a cb is over 6'1" to 6'2", they tend to have less fluid hips and are slow out of their stances.

1st round, I'd trade out and get a high second round and high 3rd. with the first 2nd rounder i would take a Saftey, then with the next 2nd round take a ILB. with the first 3rd round take a CB, with the 2nd 3rd rounder take a D-Lineman, 4th round pick up a RB. 5-7 take O-Linemen.
I'd do all my upgrading of the O-Lineman and D-Lineman in Free Agency.
Good analysis, although my recollection was they said they had a 2nd round grade on Earl, not 1st, but I'm not sure.infantrycak said:The #13 pick is worth more ...

I think it's particularly tough on a rookie to miss camp and Earl didn't participate much in camps.infantrycak said:I don't understand how coming off an injury and being thrown in unexpectedly...
Very few safeties (or interior O-linemen) are drafted 13th, or higher.infantrycak said:why are so many people targetting safety as a top need? Just don't get it.

wags said:IMO, there's no D-lineman worth the 13 pick, especially if we pick by BPA. Any ILB's worth #13? No. CB and OLB were drafted in RD 1 last year. Any WR? Only if Williams is available. Any TE's. No. Any OL. Probably. Any RB's? Probably.
The way I look at it, if we stay at 13 and draft BPA, it will be either RB, OL, or Thomas Davis. Safety isn't the #1 need (OL), but the BPA at 13 may be a safety. JMO, I'm by no means a draft expert.
infantrycak said:Derrick Johnson would play ILB if drafted by the Texans. No reason you can't take CB two years in a row for top pick--is there such a thing as too good a backfield? Add Edwards to Williams. etc.
infantrycak said:My point with the safety question is not who will be available at #13 but why would you identify, as a number of people have, safety as the top NEED?
infantrycak said:Realistically both might be upgradeable, but it is extremely unlikely they take a FS since they extended Coleman with a bonus heavy contract, which to me means they plan on him holding the starting position for 2 of 3 years minimum and Earl is a top prospect who hasn't shown anything negative. Safety IMO has to fall behind C, ILB, CB, TE, DL depth, RB depth as needs.
Vinny said:A guy I like is Adam Jones. He is a dynamic return man and would be a great nickle back while he groomed for Glenn's spot. He is 5-11 and 185 and built a bit like Dunta and would add speed to any defense. Taking a guy like him could resolve our return teams also.

wags said:As far as being a gangsta (gangster's prefer gangsta)
BuffSoldier said:Oh and i dont think that Earl has the speed to do well in coverage, hery but I could be wrong.
Why don't you want the Texans to take him?texansfan88 said:Although I don't want to see the Texans take him, I know I'll clap when I hear his name called on April 24
infantrycak said:Earl and Davis are both 4.55 speed guys.
wags said:
I don't know where they're getting those numbers from. Earl was injured and didn't run at the combine or on Notre Dame's pro day.wags said:Earl is listed at 4.61 for his agility test.
