[mod] keep draft threads in the draft forum [/mod]
As I search through Mel Kiper's draft board and the player lists on ESPN.com, I realize just how many stud DB's there are in this draft and WE MUST ACT on one of them in that first round. At this point, it is still our biggest need and I think it'd be foolish to not take one of them. Here are the options I see:
CB:
Jimmy Williams*
Tye Hill*
Anotonio Cromartie
Ashton Youbouty
Jason Allen*
S:
Darnell Bing
Michael Huff*
Donte Whitner*
Ko Simpson
BOLD= Mel Kippers top 40 board
*=Projected 1st rounder
My top choice at corner with the 16th pick would be Jimmy Williams but I don't think he'll be around. Next would defintly be Tye Hill. Both those guys could be gone however. I think saftey is really our bigger need at this point as we really don't have a true starting safety.
The best saftey is no doubt Michael Huff, but it's extremly unlikely that he slips out of the top 12. This leaves Donte Whitner and Darnell Bing. Bing has kind of flown under the radar lately but I still think he is a tremendous talent and plays a lot like Huff. He would be a steal if he made it all the way through to the 3rd round. I still see us jumping all ove Whitner in that first round. He is a big play guy who can lineup at both corner and safety. We need that big play guy in our secondary because lets face it, we don't have one.
I know a lot of you are all for drafting a WR in that first round but I really think it'd be a mistake to fill depth when we can plug one of these guys right into a starting role.
As for other posistions, it is being reported that OT Winston Justice has really improved his stock and could move all the way up to 11 to Arizona. I think he would also be a great pick with a fast first step and good size.
If we don't land our QB in Free Agency, you could see us going with Omar Jacobs, Charlie Whitehurst or maybe if Brodie Croyle falls to the 4th round. I still would like to see us continue to build a younger defense and go with possibly Chad Greenway at OLB with that first pick too.
My mock:
1. Donte Whitner
2. To Vikings for Daunte Culpepper
3. Derek Hagan (He had a terrible Senior bowl and is said to have terrible hands but I watched this guy tear up the Pac 10 all year!)
4. Best OLB available
5. Charlie Whitehurst
What do you guys think about all my input?
