I am having a hard time figuring out what kind of moves we are going to make this year. The way this team was built last year, I would think that we would go after another big time O lineman, but I don't think we would be able to get one unless we picked early in the draft. Maybe what we need to do is pick up a good veteran center or tackle in free agency.
 
Hopefully we so both, I don't expect to use #25 on a lineman, unless one too good to pass up is there. But we definately need to do something with the interior of our line.

The got *** raped by Baltimore.

I steadfastly believe you will see the Best NT availiable taken with our first rounder. The next 2nd rounders for OL, and, 3- the rest on BPA to suit needs. You may well see a wr in the third, but, I doubt it.

I hope your meaning if BJ falls then take him and not taking the best NT available. Brace or any other NT will not be a good earlier then our late 2nd and that's even pushing it.

That's whom I specificly thinking of...BJ. If he's not there you might se a flip flop of priority of the first and one of the 2nds. I think Brace is no worse than our 2nd 2nd rounder in terms of his value to us as opposed to a 4-3 team.
 
As much as I'd love for BJ to fall to us, with the way he has been practicing for the Senior Bowl, It is unlikely he makes it past #10.

absoulty you nailed but at the same time its #4 on our list of needs.
1. ILB (maybe 2 if crowder leaves)
2. and DB (maybe 2 if andre leaves)
3. NT
4. OL (maybe 2 if Vernon leaves)
5. And if we have the luxary late in the draft, free agency or undrafted free agent-receiver.

I think we already have the cream of the crop when it comes to undrafted rookie wide recievers

Hmm? I think that Parcells/Ireland/Sparano have a different board of needs than you...

The reason I say that is because of the players they have been interviewing and screening.

They have been grilling FS, NT, WR, OL so far.

Not saying they aren't planning on taking a CB some time in the draft, but they seem to be more focused on the FS Delmas, NT Brace, and that big WR from the small school so far...oh, and WR/QB/RB/KR/PR Pat White too...

You are right, you can always tell what players they are going to target by who they interview :unsure:

:lol: I was about to respond to that statement also. Very doubtful, anyone will be able to guess what direction the trifecta will be going by the interviews.
 
I remember them interviewing lots of people last year they weren't even wanting to pick.

Come on... they are doing there due diligence
 
Got taken advantage of because, crowder did nothing, making tackles after a five yard gain doesn't impress me at all, so why do he feel he need to be paid more money?, he doesn't anticipate well, he's no Zack Thomas Mr. President.
