guys what do you think will be our most pressing need in next years draft and free agency?

dt, qb, oline, or db(safety/corner)
 
won't know until this season is over or at least this season starts

:yeahthat:

We still don't really know what we have yet... so we certainly can't forcast what we'll need in a year.
 
i think we need a good qb because unless you have a dominating defense you need a playmaking qb! our defense under nick will be dominating in my opinion but we still need a good playmaking qb!
 
Next years draft is very very deep at OL I expect to take an offensive lineman early next year. There are a few Safeties, that we will take a look at, that will be at the top of the draft but nothing to really oogle over unless some kids enter the draft early. I think Saban will more realistically take a QB in the 2nd round next year because there are only a few that I would consider first rounders at this point. If Omar Jacobs enters the draft early, which he has openly stated that if he has a good year and Bowling Green wins the MAC that he would strongly consider it, and if we are able to get a shot at him Linehan would convince Saban to draft him. He reminds me alot of Daunte Culpepper. We will Probably address any cornerback need we have as well, even though it seems apparent that Poole and Daniels will be our future starters but I see it likely that Saban gets another CB.
 
i would love omar also!!!! i think he is the rreal deal!!!!
 
I really wanted Marcus McNeil next year, but if Carey plays as well as we hope at LT, he might not be a necessity.
 
what will happen next year

i think we will win 5-7 games. its hard to say 8 and not be convicted of homerism. so, we will pick-based on last years draft-between 4 and 15. now, next years draft-unlike this year-is all about the offensive tackles and defensive lineman. experts are pretty sure as many as 6 offensive tackles will go in the first round. and several defensive lineman-de and dt. fortunately, those are two of our primary needs.

primary needs: (these are also positions that go in round 1)
defensive tackle
defensive end
offensive tackle
quarterback-debatable

secondary needs: (ie. second round) best safeties are found in round two and good value can be found on linebackers in later rounds-crowder, odell thurman, darryl blackstock
secondary
linebacker

so, next year we are lucky that the draft is full of what we need.
in round one, players that will be available when we draft, i see us getting either:
qb:
Omar Jacobs*, Bowling Green-stud-threw for 4000 yds, 46 tds, ran for 300 (note: leinart will be gone by time we draft)

ot
D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Virginia
Eric Winston, Miami-Fla.
Jonathan Scott, Texas
Marcus McNeil, Auburn
Andrew Whitworth, LSU
Winston Justice, USC*

dt
Rodrique Wright, 6-5 320, Texas
Gabriel Watson, 6-3 350, Michigan -3-4 nose tackle
Haloti Ngata, 6-4 344, Oregon -3-4 nose tackle
Orien Harris, 6-4, 300, Miami

so, im not going to say exactly who we will get. but, im willing to bet it will be one of these 11 guys since they are going to be the top available when we draft and they fill big needs.

in the second round, we are still looking for defensive line, offensive line help depending on round 1. and perhaps secondary or linebacker.

players that will be available/slip to us
defensive tackle
LeKevin Smith, Nebraska 602 305
Johnny Jolley, Texas A&M 6-4 310
Gerald Anderson, Georgia 602 325

defensive end
Manase Hopoi, Washington
Loren Howard, Northwestern
Eric Henderson, Georgia Tech

offensive tackle
Jeremy Trueblood, Boston College

defensive back
Michael Huff, Texas
Jason Allen, Tennessee

linebacker
Manny Lawson, DE, North Carolina State –olb in 3-4
Abdul Hodge, Iowa
D'Qwell Jackson, Maryland
Omar Gaither, LB, Tennessee

hopefully, we wont need to draft a qb so we can get one of those huge offensive or defensive tackles. but if we do draft jacobs, i wouldnt mind that at all.

in the end, i see us addressing o-line or d-line in next years draft. here was just some of the options. and im holding by that statement that our first round pick will be one of those 11 guys.
 
based on the way i hear that nick is going to be sending the house on blitzes we need good corners!!! (i hope poole returns next year at full strength)
