Offense or Defense with our first pick?

[panthers55]

Whether we stay pat. move up or move down- do you think we go for a need position or best player available. Both Otah and Brown were not the best players available but the best players at their position who were left. We picked both to fill specific needs at the time.

So given we have a need for a backup quarterback, a wide receiver or two and help on the defensive side at Dline and linebacker (cornerback if Marshall isn't kept, which do we do? Pick the awesome safety who clearly dropped and is truly the best player available but not needed, the next best quarterback because there are slim pickings as you go deeper in the draft, or a good receiver of which there will be several good choices.

You be the GM, what do we do.

I say WR

but BPA could say DT

[Cyberjag]

BPA leaning towards offense.

[Snake]

If we move up then DT. If we stay put then WR.

[Jackofalltrades]

WR or DT, whomever is higher on our board when the pick comes.

[Delhommey]

BPA with exceptions (obviously RB would be silly, unless somehow Spiller came tumbling down to the 48th pick).

I say WR

but BPA could say DT

This!

It's funny how i agree with you recently

I think BPA will be a defensive player and i'd love that situation b/c the WR class is soooo deep.

[Razzy]

I think we need to spend that first pick on a receiver, but my intuition says fox will likely draft DL. I would be happy with a WR, a DT, or a DE.

[stirs]

I dont see a difference maker at DT or DE in the second. I would go WR or Colt McCoy

[pantherclaw]

I'd say offense, but there are some awesome defensive players out there. Wouldn't put it past them.
