Rivera says we will draft # 1 pick based on biggest need and we will use the tag

[Jackofalltrades]

What did you expect him to say?

Nothing new revealed here.

[SorthNarolina]

didnt hurney say QB was our biggest need?

I'm pretty sure he ranked QB, DT, and CB in that order too.

[Jackofalltrades]

Anyone who believes pre-draft talk is stupid.

Have this discussion EVERY YEAR!

[The Saltman]

what else are we going to talk about on a football messageboard pre draft?

[Zcustom]

Since when did Rivera say it was all about winning in 2011??

Foxy got canned for what? Inconsistency, oh yeah.

Maybe Rivera is willing to go through growing pains with a new QB in the name of long term sustained success.

here comes the another long and drawn out thread...

[Ruff]

Like someone else said in this thread, I think that pretty much narrows it down to Fairley, Newton, or Gabbert.

According to the scrolling thing at the bottom on ESPN, Mel Kiper says our biggest needs are:

DT, WR, OG, and CB. In that order.

lol.

That or it's a bluff to encourage someone to trade the pick with us.

Would be nice to get a sucker to take the pick off our hands for another decent 1st rounder and some other picks

[Panthro]

If he says QB he loses "cred"

[Mr. Scot]

what else are we going to talk about on a football messageboard pre draft?

It's not that we can't talk about it. More a case of be careful what you believe in team's public pre-draft statements.

For me though, listening to the interview, I didn't get any indication he was tipping his hand to a certain spot. Nor do I think any of what he said precludes trading down.

I figured it would have gone TE,DT,WR,OG

[Mr. Scot]

I love that the first time in years we're actually talking about TE being a need, Kiper isn't :lol:
