    i believe we have 6/7 picks in this year draft. what if we pick 4 DBs and 3 OLBs? 1 of the 4 DBs should be contributor and 1 of 3 OLBs should be a starter.

    I think we need a little depth on the DL also.

    That would be a horrible idea. I can't imagine that many guys sticking on the roster so you would just be throwing the other guys as well.

    Not really...But after hitting so hard on Def...I don't see a need to draft say a 4th DB or LB....at best take a couple of flyers on athletic T and G's late.

    I agree that LB and CB are need positions, but not really a fan of the throwing darts and hoping one hits strategy.

    Maybe, just maybe KC does work in FA. Melvin Ingram anyone?

    Ben's biological clock is at the end. Time to nut up, spend money, and make a run. Tick tick tick...

    We have 8. That would be an awful draft.

    I wouldn't be against drafting 2 OLBs or 2 CBs, after what NE did against the secondary they need all the help they can get.

    2 OLBs and 2 CBs we acrually need.. not that other stuff he was saying.

    I seen a mock where a fan drafted 5 Pass Rushers. 4 Edge Rushers and a DT. I kid you not..

    So, just to continue with the hypothetical of spending 4 picks on DBs and 3 picks on edge guys - if you're going to something like that (which I'm not advocating), the best way would probably be to package picks together and draft fewer guys with higher pedigree (i.e. trade up).

    Maybe that fan had a dream of us going to the 5-1-5 ? If we was to that we would might need it? Well 5 pass ushers a bit much so 3 np...4 edge guys no we have 1 in Dupree so maybe 2 other than that he might be on to something..

    i'm still leaning towards king as the top pick if he tests well in the speed department. he or watt. those would be my top two early. :cool:
