worry about a QB when we can’t protect the one we have. I think Bones will do well if we can fix the line. I believe Quinn has an upside as well.

Maybe a DE in first round (preferably in FA because experience in NFL pass rushing trumps potential, IMO) maybe a LB (Rey Malualuga anybody?) and OL/QB in 2nd/3rd depending on who is left. To herm’s credit he has done a very good job of selecting the highest ranked player on their board in every round even if isn’t a high priority. That being said, i love Graham Harrell’s quick release and accuracy. He also has excellent poise in the pocket, he was like a statue in UT game. I also like Tebow and i think he fall down he draft board pretty far. I hate his long delivery, although he is very accurate with it. I do like the obvious intangibles and that fact that we don’t have to worry about him spitting in any girls face. He would also be a ood pick because you could do all sorts of crazy stuff with him out of the spread. Goaline formations, he could even play some H-back/TE position, lots of upside. I also really like Mark Sanchez, i feel like he is just a winner and a physical specimen too.

If we picked up Andre Smith LT from Alabama it would be a great pick because we could move people around to fix our line.
If we picked up Orakpo it would be a great pick on paper because we could have replaced Jared Allen
If we pick up Maualuga or James Lauranitis or Brandon spikes as a MLB it would be a great pick on paper because we need one and they are all good.

What i am trying to say is we need a lot of positions in this draft and I would be happy if any of those positions were addressed in the first day of the draft.

I’m not sure what player will be in the top 5 drafted this year but if we don’t get a DE in FA or a MLB then i wouldn’t be surprised to see us draft down and get more picks. Orakpo will sill be available mid 1st as will Rey or Laurinitus (probably just one of the two though). That would be a great move, get another 2nd pick with it…pretty sweet deal if you ask me. All of this depends on FA in my mind though.

If Brandon Spikes comes out i believe he is better than Maualuga and Laurinitis,

Spikes has the ability to stop the run as well as Rey “Mysterio” and plays less sporadically than Maualuga. Maualuga is good but makes stupid mistakes more than he should. I like Laurinitis because of his cover skills, but Spikes plays pretty well in coverage too, i just see him being a better all around MLB than Rey and James, Rey stops the run very well but lacks in the coverage department and the other way around for James Spikes does both things well, and is the leader of a team playing for the National Championship.

If i spelled either players name wrong please tell me, i always have trouble with the two, Thank You,

or maybe another big o-lineman. i wonder if we will try to get anybody through free agency? however, i say stick with thiggy for now.

-by the way, does anybody know if brodie will be back next year? i know he wouldn’t be starting but heck, i still think he’s a good quarterback and could be a good backup.

just as a backup. he does have talent. i agree-he’s been injured way too much. a better line and him making quicker throws (not waiting so long in the pocket then throwing the ball at the last second while he’s getting creamed) would help.

i’d much rather go with thiggy and him as backup then pick up another quarterback when there are other positions that need filled more desperately.
we still have quinn too.

yeah, i still think if brodie could stay healthy he would do a good job. he hasn’t proven he can stay healthy but that why i wouldn’t want him as our starter.
