now what do we draft

[BARF]

it looks like we be getting coles, maybe brown, and hoppefully bodden. now that some of the positions of need have been filled where do we go next. i am thinking we have to go cb, but the combine workout and boy are the cb's this year slow

I wouldn't be surprised to see a Defense-heavy draft.

If we don't get Brown, I would draft a Center like Alex Mack, Wood or Luigs. I think Sean Smith or Victor Harris are two d-backs who could help us, maybe in round 2...if we got L. Coles then we could skip getting a WR in the first couple rounds.....I wouldn't mind going after Ramses Barden, WR Caly Poly, in Round 3 or 4. We should know more after Friday when Free Agency kicks in.

FS-Sean Smith, Delmas, Johnson
NT-Brace
CB-who ever is there

I think with the signings we've made so far:

our OL is set except for a starting center and backup guard (later rounds or cheap free agent) and tackle (later rounds or cheap free agent)

our DL and LBs are set except for backups (later rounds or cheap backups) unless Rey Maualuga is fully recovered or expects to make a full recovery and is somehow still available at or near the 25th pick

CB or Safety might become 1st round priority depending on what happens with our free agent DBs or if a stellar DB is available with pick 25 (We haven't drafted a stellar DB in the 2000s (not counting Jason Allen who hasn't really panned out yet).

That leaves WR. I think with all the other developements we can afford to take a chance on a WR with a high draft pick, either with our 25 or our 44 or 56.

So I expect us to go:
#25 C, DB, Maualuga, WR
#44 C, DB, WR, LB
#56 C, DB, WR, LB

Whatever position we take at 25 you can eliminate from 44 and 56 except for DB because we could go DB with 2 of our first 3 picks.

You heard it here first!! 2/26/09 from dougfinsfan72
