Pretty interesting stuff.... it seems like if you want a good one you gotta take him early...

Colts= Wayne
Pats= Moss
Beng= Mr Cinco
Bolts= V.Jackson
Jets= Braylon
Ravens= Mason not so sure about his number 1 status anymore.

Minn= Rice Berrian
N.O= Colston
Dal= R.Will, Austin
Ariz= Boldin Fitz
G.B.= Driver, Jennings
Philly= Jackson, Macklin.

All these teams in the playoffs have a big time play making WR with the exception of maybe Balt.
Thats all

It seems like our options will be pretty limited.

Marshall and Austin will likely be tendered the 1st and 3rd or not traded for much less than that.

TO will be available pretty cheap and I guess he did behave okay for BUF this last year but he's obviously only a stop gap and may not have much left in the tank.

Dez Bryant would be worth the risk at 1.12.

1.12. might be too early to take Golden Tate but maybe if we trade down.

Other rookies like Damien Williams, Mardy Gilyard, Damaryius Thomas and Dezmon Briscoe may or may not solve the problem

Tough call....

I say we try to fill NT (Vince Wilfork), FS (Antrel Rolle) and ILB (Kirk Morrison) in FA and then look to the draft for our skill positions; WR and RB.

Hopefully, we move Ronnie for an extra 2nd round pick so that gives us some flexibility in the draft.

If we miss out on Dex Bryant at 1.12, maybe we grab another playmaker there like CJ Spiller and then go WR in early round 2 (via Ronnie pick) and then OLBs and more defense the rest of the way.

Jesus how did Marshall make it to the fourth round. These so called professional draft guru's are really just numb skulls. See: Kiper and McShay and every one else saying Long would NOT be a good LT tackle in the NFL, now he's starting in the probowl after year two.

And eventhough BAL doesn't have a playmaking WR, they do have Ray Rice.

That's why I'm looking at Dez Bryant or CJ Spiller as our best options at 1.12. I don't care if Spiller is technically a RB and not a WR. We simply need a guy who can score from long distance. We lost the season b/c of two reasons - our sucky defense (especially up the middle with Crowder/Ayodele/Torbor/Wilson) and our lack of big plays on offense.

If we shore up all levels of the middle of our D (Wilfork, Morrison, Rolle) and then add a burner in the draft like CJ Spiller, we'll be in good shape.

I could even live with Hartline/Bess/Camarillo if we at least had Spiller at RB and maybe a playmaking TE like Aaron Hernandez.

For sure we should try to move Ronnie for a 2nd rounder.

And I love it if we could package Ginn and Crowder for maybe a 3rd rounder.

Porter and Wilson should be cut.

well with all the holes on defense... i would lean there in the draft...

but this kind of enlightened me that maybe taking bryant at 12 isnt such a bad idea....

i would still prefer mcclain
