    DL, WR, RB, CB are the positions of need. I think IDL and WR are the most pressing needs and at #21 you have to pick the BPA at these respective positions.

    Trey Amos from Ole Miss, Benjamin Morrison from Notre Dame or Jahdae Barron from Texas. Those are my top three right now. Shavon Revel Jr hasnt been forgotten but there needs to be more informatiom about those medicals.


    .... well that, and assuming Shavon lasts that long. I doubt he will. Injury or not, that dude is pretty damn good.

    WR I agree. For IDL, this is an insane draft for this position group. Not saying wait until Round 4 but Rounds 2 to 3 are gonna have some tremendous players ti choose from said group.


    WRs are extremely top heavy this year. Not a good class overall; doubly so compared to the previous three.

    STD likes this conversation lol

    I don't think its our top need, but it is a need for sure. Our top need is WR, especially if we are planning on not re-signing (or trading) Pickens.

    WR, RB, CB, DL... those are the needs in order. Obviously QB, but we will know more about that in FA.

    I'm worried they will re-sign Dante Jackson because they can get him on a good deal, they need to upgrade the #2 CB position.

    I think you still have to give Trice a shot as well (if he can stay healthy).

    I don't think that would be the worst decision in the world. He was a fine enough player for us (he did battle a few injuries), and if he comes on a good deal then I would be okay with it. 5 picks, a FR and 8 PD in 15 games is fairly good production for a CB2. As long as we are bringing in a rookie that we think can take over in a year or two, I think we could do a lot worse than Donte Jackson.

    He's small and I don't think he's built for AFCN ball, it seems like every game he's laid out on the turf and the trainers have to come get him.

    I think he would be more of a #2 or #3 CB, they need to find a slot CB and #2 CB in the draft.

    He's worth bringing back to camp but they should look for an upgrade at the position IMO.

    Jahdae Barron can bring the wood 2nd rd pick.
    Immediate upgrade over Jackson.

    Try to trade the Jets for Michael Carter. He'll be $10M a year but he's arguably the best slot CB in the NFL. I give up draft picks.
