Yeah. I would rather we suck on defense then getting our #1 overall pick killed. the chiefs invest heavily in the oline year after year after year. Both our guards had pretty serious injuries to end the year. I like Cade mays a lot but drafting another guard or tackle would be wise.

We're also supposed to have a super smart DC who can do more with less, so yeah...

im not too familiar with 3-4 and who would fit better to have a guy slide to a better role. 

but in terms of talent Branch and Sanders are just great players that will find a way on the field and contribute no matter what.

I don't have a preference. Greene and Lathon were fun in the 3-4 in the Capers' years but Peppers, Beason, Davis, etc were fun in the 4-3 too.

3-4 vs 4-3 Is about your front seven. Once you get back to the secondary I don't know that it's makes any huge difference.

I do not think a WR left brings anything to the table we do not already have. 

OG - few guys out there that can be long term players and I wouldnt be upset if we took, but we also like our Gs. I do no think we should draft just because someone might not be ready to start the year. 

Multiple analysts have indicated that overall this year's wide receiver class is nothing special.

I'm always on board with reinforcing the front though.

Brian Branch and Michael Mayer are the best players left and clearly have a talent gap above the rest of the players remaining, you could probably throw Joey Porter Jr. in there as well

Naturally they all probably go picks 1 2 and 3 tonight

If however one of them is there at 39 that would be my pick no hesitation. 

If none of those guys fall I want us to trade down a few spots. 

Tepper kind of tipped our hand last night basically saying we were targeting defense with the pick and we have a glaring hole at edge and Fitty has said multiple times they are targeting it and even considered trading back up for one (god I wish we could have gotten Nolan Smith)

So that being said I think we end up with BJ Ojulari at 39 

I'd add Ojulari in the mix there

I know. And it probably doesn't matter as much these days as it did years ago since teams are trying to disguise things to confuse the QB for a few more seconds than they did in the past.

That's why if the Panthers decide to go pass catcher, they should be open to taking a TE if one is better than available WRs.

Building the Oline though, yeah, they need to invest picks in it every year.

Even before things played out the way they did, Kaye was of the opinion that the team taking a tight end with their second round pick wasn't likely.

It's a deep class though so they could still get a good guy later.

I still think Fitt will try to trade down from 39 at least a few spots to pick up another pick or two.

      The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      Because it’s all bullshit and they know it’s bullshit.
