We need a big WR but not with our first pick. I think our WR's will all be better playing with Henne and despite that one drop by Ginn yesterday, improvements continue to be made by those guys. Hartline and Turner can't be given up on. There's no room to activate both and Brian's made the most his oppurtunities so far. Unless you have a shot at phenom, you have to consider more pressing positions.
Our first pick needs to be another defensive player. Someone who's expected to start immediately, probably an ILB or FS, positions that likely will offer great value in the range we'll likely be picking 13-19th.
Gibril could still turn around and suppress the need for drafting a FS high for another year but if we have a shot at Mays or Berry, how could you pass? Those are the types of guys you want to combine with Davis and Smith. Baltimore and Pittsburgh both committed first round picks to getting their playmaking FS's, we need to do the same thing, eventually.
Paul Soliai still offers potential at NT long term and combined with the stoutness of our run defense I don't see a NT being our first pick either, although the position is important enough that if we do take one I certainly won't complain. It would be great to steal Wilfork from the Pats and not have to draft somebody.
If I were ranking just needs I'd go with FS, ILB, big athletic pass catcher (WR or TE), pass rushing OLB, future NT.
If I were predicting how the draft will play out I think we'll take:
ILB, NT, FS, WR, OLB, another ILB, a backup OG, a developmental QB and maybe we take a flier on a fullback or kick returner.
Right now my best case scenario's for our first pick are:
1. Eric Berry S Tennesse
2. Brandon Spikes ILB Florida
3. Taylor Mays S USC
4. Terrence Cody NT Alabama
5. Dez Bryant WR Oklahoma State (because I am a fun guy) :up:
