    I don’t think they’re going to address tackle early. If Broderick Jones were to drop then maybe, but not for the other Jones. We are young on offense and old on defense. I think it will be a draft that’s heavy on defense with the possibility of a wr and te sprinkled in somewhere. I’ve read that they love Bresee out of Clemson. Is there any truth to it? Is it a smokescreen? Only the Steelers know. I wouldn’t love the pick, but won’t be shocked by it either.

    yes we are young on offense, but the production of points by that young offense has to be increased at some point. it just seems like they are working towards changing the offense to a ball control type more than a wide open type. the trenches make that happen. who knows? :cool:

    Inexperience and inconsistency played the largest role in our scoring issues last year imo.

    That's probably a position they can address in like the 4th round, I think OL, DL, ILB could be the bigger priorities.

    Not sure how I feel about the safety and ILB spots now. I like what we have and I think the addition of Neal could help both of those positions depending on how we move all these guys around in packages. :cool:

    I wouldn't want Neal on the field on passing downs, they do need to find a starter at SS that can help in coverage.

    The strong safety I like is Penn State's Ji Ayir Brown. He had 120 tackles and picked off 10 passes over the last 2 seasons.

    I need to look more into Him. I admittedly don't watch more than a couple games a year with Penn State.

    I don’t think they would, but man it would be kinda cool.

    17. LT Paris Johnson or Broderick Jones
    32. RT Dawand Jones
    49. OC Schmidt

    Add that to Daniels and Seamalu at guard with Moore as swing tackle and Cole as your interior swing guy, boom you could stop worrying about the Oline for a few years at least.

    As a bonus you could cut Chuks and save $10 million. Fun to think about.

    If we had that line we might only throw 5 passes a game and have the ball for over 40 minutes.

    I think they paid Chuks a 4 million roster bonus last month, I doubt they will be cutting him.
