Good question. My board changed when I watched the video of Beason's 4/6 workout.

1. Floyd. (not that sold on Gettis and think we need to draft our #1 WR soon)

2; Ingram (If Coples turns out to be good, this is wrong. In fact, Floyd is wrong too--Ingram fits because he is not a Hardy clone and we are going to mix up defensive looks--the best athlete in the draft)

3. Coples (He could be great. I do not think he has the desire, however. Too many variables to know for sure)

4. Reiff (Our left tackle is 32 and we may not draft early enough to get one for a while. Otah is probably gone in 2013)

5. DeCastro (We need to get stronger up the middle. We have not done that yet. DeCastro is a smart and versatile interior lineman who could change the run game and protect Cam.

Consider three things...

-Best available/value

-What are positions of need

-And how both of those shape up later in the draft

I don't believe trading up is the answer. There are too many areas that could use some help. But that's a good thing, meaning we can take the best player available at almost any position.

RB Richardson: Yes, I would take him if he was there and trade J. Stewart.

WR Blackmon/Floyd: Yes, I would take a WR so that Cam has somebody constant that he could throw to for many years to come.

OG DeCastro: Ryan Kalil and DeCastro would be scary for years to come.

DT: Several options here.

DE Coples: I'd rather not, but mainly because there is depth in later rounds.

DE/OLB Ingram: I would take this guy and play him at SLB on running downs and DE on passing downs.

LB Kuechly: I'm not that impressed with him. But I wouldn't hate the pick to free up Beason and Davis/Anderson to make plays.

CB: I don't think the value is there at #9 unless Claiborne falls. But I wouldn't hate the pick.

S Barron: Could S. Martin and/or the newly acquired R. Smith play some CB? I doubt it, but it would be interesting to see.

I really like the idea of a DE or a CB in round 2. There will be somebody worth while to take there.

-Richardson won't be there. Taking him off my list.

-Unfortunately you have to take WR off the list because Blackmon will NOT be there, and Floyd is just too much of a risk for a top 10 pick. Are we here to gamble, or make the team better? We aren't in a position to gamble, yet. They're off my list.

-DeCastro would be good but it's just not ideal to take an OG in the top 10 no matter how good he is. OGs can be found later on. Off my list.

This leaves DT, LB, and being creative with players like Ingram or Barron.

1: Cox

2: Brockers

I chose Cox first because of his pass-rushing ability. I just don't see a DT on our roster that can be a good pass-rusher up the middle except McClain.

3. Ingram

I would get really creative with this kid.

4. Kuechly

If you think he can be your pro-bowl MLB, and move Beason to WLB... you would be in good shape. Anderson can start at SLB and Davis can come in sparingly to wreck some havoc.

5. Barron

When pick #9 rolls around, one of these DTs will be there. Take one of them. You'll start a run on DTs and you'll see a top DE or top CB in round 2. DE Curry, CB Jenkins, CB Robinson. +
