Who should we draft with the #1 pick?

[chef17]

I can't really say who to draft, although I picked Newton. Depends on what we do in free agency. However the CBA may not be done until after the draft, so the whole situation is a mess.

[chef17]

AJ Green.

6'4" 212 lbs.

You've gotta take the guy if you stay at 1.

I've been saying it all day, and I'll say it again.

We had the worst offense in the league last year, and there are quality Free Agents available for defense. None of it will matter though if you don't pour some serious focus on the offense. The guy is to Receiving what Luck is to QBing. He's a rare, blue-chip prospect, and is the last remaining "can't-miss" player left in this class. We have got to work on our offense. By drafting Green, you automatically make the aging but still extremely talented Smith expendable as trade ammunition for another QB. If you end up keeping Smith, then you have one heck of a Receiving corp that would force a 2 year pro in Clausen to at least play adequately. We have a chance for a good team here THIS SEASON. Don't reach for a player who can't contribute, or worse, is a bust altogether.

Take AJ.

Unless Clausen stops throwing checkdowns or we get a new QB, Green would be a waste.

Yeah does anyone think our offense was the worst this year because of our WRs?

The problem with AJ Green is, he won't be defending against Brees, Ryan, and Freeman. We all saw the scores and how our defense got lit up every division game this past season. I hope Green can get 3 or 4 tds a game against this division. No, Peterson would be the best choice.

If we CANT trade down, Patrick Peterson we are on the verge of losing both our starting corners, just in case anyone forgot. I dont know about you guys but I don't trust Captain and CJ Wilson to shut down the recievers in our division.

If we can trade down, and swap 1st rounders with someone, Best Player Available, hopefully Peterson will still be there, or Julio Jones. Then later pick up DT Cameron Jordan or Jared Crick. Offensive Line maybe, if Free Agency isn't available. Then my biased side goes to QB Tyrod Taylor a projected 5/6th rounder that would be a steal.

Did you read my post?

Clausen will be improved next year.

The question is how much.

Like I said in the other thread, if anyone is interested in Patrick Peterson, LSU is playing on FOX right now.

Gamble just got signed to a long term contract.

The Free Agent market is chalk full of CBs.

Expand your view on the field.

AJ Green or P.Peterson

When he gets a good QB coach and a O-line that actually blocks, maybe he won't throw so many checkdowns.

Dude, your posts seem like they have some thought put into them, and I agree with what you say, but please for the love of God, stop making your posts a wall of text.

It makes my eyes bleed.

This is gettind retarded. We can't trade down!!!! I don't care how any of these guys look in the combines, it ain't happening. Let it go, people! If a team wants a Peterson, or Bowers, for example...they'll trade up to the 3 spot. This is an odd year. There is no one player that screams PICK ME!!! And if we as a fan base, and if the media, and if other teams' fans can't even agree on who should go first, that pretty much goes to show you the pick is ours and ours alone.

Draft Fairley, trade a 2012 pick for Orton, tag and trade D-Lo, keep Smith. Draft O-Line with the extra 3rd we get for Peppers, draft DB with the hopeful 2nd or 3rd we get for D-Lo. That's the best I got.

Your joking, right?

Not originally.

But this post made me re-think that decision.

Perhaps our settings just aren't very friendly towards each other.
