Jon Snow

He will stick around for his special teams play alone.

Before the combine I was hoping he would last until our 3rd pick. But when he showed out at the combine I'm now afraid he will not last until our second pick. The Panthers met with CJ Allen at the combine so he's at least on their radar. Rodriguez must have met with us to make the comment he did. I knew he was a Morgan type LB but I think we have not shot at him now.

As far as I know they didn't meet with any first round offensive line players at the combine. They had a meeting with the Duke center but so far that's it.

I think they are planning for different scenarios that may play out and have researched options in each case. At least that's what it appears to be early in this offseason.

I really cannot say that I have any inside knowledge of who they are targeting. I'm just speculating like everyone else. I will wait until they finish all the official visits before I zero on who our targets might be. As it stands now they have not talked to anyone that will realistically be available at 19.

There is a lot of LB's in this draft but only about 3 I would truly try to target. One of those will go before we pick and one possibly just before or a few picks after our pick. The other is a day 2 pick and probably 8 or 10 picks before we pick again. So we really need to focus on only 2 of them. We may not get any of them to be honest. But I cannot see Dan going through this draft without making an attempt to get one of them.

There's really only 2 among the group that I would be interested in. That's Freeling and Thieneman. My dream would be Thieneman because I think he is going to be a stud and would make a defense next level good.

They were really interested in talking to one of the oline players from duke during the combine. I thought I heard someone on nfl network say he could play guard and center. That caught my attention.

I think there is a plan for both tackle and center in the draft. But it's not the folks you guys are thinking about.

I believe in time he will prove that he is/was worth a 1st round pick. But im happy that he may be there for our 2nd pick. I think we may have to trade up for him.

It will be unless there is a run on tackles. They may not have a good one left by their 2nd pick. I think if they want one it will have to be at 19 because I think they will be picked out by the time pick 51 rolls around.

You would think they would at least hedge their bet by bringing in a competent backup plan. It looks as if it's Young or bust going forward. May the football Gods have mercy on our souls.

They will have a lot of great options at 19. I have no doubt they will find a way to blow it.

Its also where the top DT's are protected to start coming off the board. I'm thinking it's OT or DT at 19 with OT being a slight favorite. I'm going to be tuning into who the official visits this year.
