Your 1st Round Top-4

[Cat'sGrowl]

Brockers

Decastro

Ingram

Jenkins

[HeatCheck]

Still really undecided about 8/9. I really hope Claiborne or Blackmon falls but won't get my hopes up.

But if we trade down:

1. M.Ingram

2. J.Jenkins

3. V.Curry

4. D.Poe

[kdrh5]

1. Michael Brockers

2. Janoris Jenkins

3. David DeCastro--even though its common to find guards in the later rounds

4. Quentin Coples, simply due to his talent

I envision scenarios where we could trade back, no lower than 12, and get any of these four guys.

[kdrh5]

If we trade down into the second half of the first round, none of the aforementioned players are available, get another second round pick:

1. Jerel Worthy

2. Whitney Marcilis

3. Kendall Wright--bpa

4. Fletcher Cox

[Marguide]

It's still early, but as of today...

Coples

Brockers

Jenkins

DeCastro

DeCastro is the safest, but I strongly prefer defense in the first 2 rounds.

[klumme]

Brockers, Reiff, Upshaw, Jenkins

:iagree:

[TMS3426]

Brockers

Coples

DeCastro

Reiff

[rayzor]

my elite and ultimate BPAs that should be drafted if available:

kalil

claiborne

blackmon

4 top choices i would feel good about at the 8/9

brockers

jenkins

zack brown

kirkpatrick

if we traded back later in the 1st

coples

poe

still

upshaw

[Ivan The Awesome]

Michael Brockers

[Matthias]

In line with Rayzor

Elite Three (If any should fall)

1. Kalil

2. Claiborne

3. Blackmon

Top 4 for our pick

1. Brockers

2. Martin

3. Trade back

4. David DeCastro

[nagai]

Kalil, Claiborne and Reiff are my top 3. These guys are elite talents in our areas of need. After that, things get really fuzzy. It's either not a top need or not a top talent. I'm not sure if I like Upshaw because he'll be playing in a 43 and I dunno about his coverage skills. I really want Brockers to show me more in the combine or something because god knows we need a DT. Still's injuries really scare me. I'm sick of our 1st round picks going down.

Edit: Just watched the tape of Zach Brown vs Missouri and you can color me highly unimpressed. When you think of an NFL LB you think of guys who can come in, stuff the run and smash someone. This guy's like the opposite of that. He looked like such a 'finesse player'. He doesn't know how to tackle (both with angles and not wrapping up), he's constantly taken out of the play, the only real strength I see in his game is his speed and coverage. Do not want.

[chbright]

1a)Claiborne

2b)Kalil

3)Blackmon

4) Martin

for us, unfortunately i doubt the top 3 of them are there. also to me Kalil and Claiborne are co #1, i just think mo is a better right now guy, and if otah ever gets healthy, we may be ok at tackle for 4 more years. we need a #2 cb, and gamble would be a great #2 along with big mo.

now the likely top 4)

1a) Martin: imo he makes gross or otah expendable. if we kept all of them, otah goes inside and gross to RT till his contract is up. martin is not the most athletic T but damn good technician.

1b)Reiff: RT/G now and LT later otah RT/G now, RT/gone later.

3)Jenkins. be a physical #2 or #1 corner. likes press coverage.

4)Coples/Brockers. they are the next best guys, homeruns or they strike out. do you want edge pressure, or inside pressure? honestly i would likely give Coples the edge even with the inconsistent motor. they guy can turn it on and dominate top tackles when he really gets after it. Brockers, if he developes, could be Suh-lite or Fairley. if he doesnt a nobody. i think Coples development so far is way ahead of brockers and could contribute more now (though long term i still like hardy).

personally i want to tade back and get more picks: Cincy if Richardson fell and they want to leapfrog a few teams if he fell to our spot, or hell anyone wanting Martin or Reiff and were willing to part with atleast a #1 this year and more.
