I still don't understand how, with 3 required starters and 4 guys to fill those postions, LB is not a higher need on anyone's list...

I guess if you're comfortable with Mortty Ivy, Jordan Senn, Brett Warren, and Quinton Culberson, more power to you...

Because Davis, Beason, Conner, Anderson, Whoever as a LB core is better than:

Nothing at all for a returner

Hunter Cantwell as #2 QB

Dewayne Jarrett as anything

I could argue DT as more of a need as well. One LB is coming off IR, three DTs are. Also, not one of those DTs were anything special before getting hurt, unlike the LB.

Not trying to sound like an ass, just defending my list :P

Returner, we have Sutton and Munnerlyn if we have to have them, and we can pickup someone like Brandon Banks really really late in the draft... It isn't a need...

Get Jason Campbell somehow and the QB need disappears... If we don't, I agree that by my formula, QB is technically the 2nd overall need...

Jarrett will do just fine, in my opinion... He and Moore have worked together longer than Moore and Smitty... But WR is the third biggest need, as we need another smaller/speedy guy to play the slot (unless we want to feature two speedy guys on the outside and put our possession WR (Jarrett) in the slot)... Everyone keeps forgetting Kenny Moore too, and he'll be a solid #4...

DT is nowhere near the need that LB, QB, or WR are... We have two guys we traded draft picks for (Leonard and Tyler), a guy we spent a relatively high draft pick on last year (Irvin), and someone who filled the role more adequately than James Anderson or Dan Connor filled the LB roles (Hayden)...not even mentioning Ed Johnson, who could very well surprise some of you in his rotational role... We have a logjam at DT with no standout star... Sure, we'll draft one pretty early, but I wouldn't consider it in our 3 biggest needs...

Why don't we just convert Hayden into a LB? From what I saw of him last year, he seems to like to play back about 5 yrds off the ball.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I always get lectured every year when we inevitably win some meaningless late season games to tank our draft position that we're building culture and you always have to try to win no matter what. This is why that's bullshit. Once you're out of contention it's to your competitive advantage to LOSE.

      You’re tripping I hear what you’re saying but you’re not thinking of the benefits that trade gives us. We can then move around in the second round or late in the first to grab a specific player we covet like M Starks late in the 1st. Let me clarify if we’re at 21 we grab W Nolen or K Grant then trade up late in the 1 or early in the second giving up next years second for M Starks or T Amos there so much that can happen with that additional ammo.  Allowing us still so much leverage in next years draft as well with two first rounders we’d be dam crazy not to take a trade like that it’s not the big haul or heavy amount of picks we’re hoping for but it’s gets us multiple players especially ones we’ve seemed to taken a liking to like Nolen etc along with the safety from SC. or even a Luther B or James P early in the second. This nice influx in talent would help way more than a player like Jalon W. because of his high bust rate or probability  to bust….you know what I mean.  We need players we all know that those extra picks allow us to give up something this year to add key pieces from the 29-40 range that we may really like and have a need for (T Amos) and it not hurt as much because we’re stacked in round one of 26. Which could also be a pick one trade one scenario next year giving us more ammo to manipulate the draft to a winning situation for us long term. Al that to say we desperately need to be actively seeking a trade because we could add real talent in multiple spots this year and next with that current trade your opposing.

      [The Athletic] Do teams pay attention to NFL media mock drafts? Maybe more than you’d expect

      According to their list, the top guy hasn't put out a mock yet and the 2nd guy has us trading to 4 for Carter.
