Where are you regarding the #5???

by mikvogel on Mar 11, 2008 9:38 AM CDT

I've given the draft a bit of thought over the past few days and I'm struggling to figure out what would make me the happiest.

So I'm putting it out as a poll for the AP readers... where are you finding yourself in regards to our first pick in the upcoming draft?

Poll

What would make you the happiest with the #5

Jake Long- anything less is a wasted pick

20 votes

Glenn Dorsey/Sedrick Ellis- Let's shore up the D. It won Balt a SuperBowl

6 votes

Mike Jenkins/Leodis McKelvin- A shutdown CB is worth #5 and above

1 votes

Ryan Clady- Jake Long Light is a reach at #5 but we're desperate for O-line

1 votes

Vernon Gholston- he's a freak and if JA leaves, we'll need him desperately

0 votes

Darren McFadden- Run DMC is too good to pass up if he's there.

2 votes

Trade down- we need too many picks this year, take the best offer that adds talent

My vote of 'trade down'

comes with the disclaimer that Jake Long is off the board. If he's there, we take him no question.

Same here

I voted Ellis/Dorsey - only if Long (the bigger one) is gone.

I really like Long

If we were in a different situation than we are I would say take Jake Long if he's there no questions asked. But the more I think about it, the more I am coming back to my original thought at the end of the season...

Trade down and get another early round pick. There is tons of talent at positions we need and with two early picks we stand a better chance of getting good, effective players to cover our bases.

McFadden

Someone is going to be willing to trade up to get him. And if Matt Ryan falls past Atlanta (unlikely) I could see some teams wanting to hop in front of the Jets and Baltimore to get him.

We will have some options come draft day.
