I have seen a lot of threads about what QBs and WRs we should get in the draft and free agency, but as important as those things are I am a little worried about the D. They only have a couple years left before they retire or worse... I do like the rookies we have this year... but we need to keep getting those as well. Personally I would love to see a young guy opposite of Jason getting to the QB. Two fast guys like that would be great and then Jason could mentor the guy to speed his development.

agreed. however. there is the need to give atleast 1 or 2 offensive players in this draft. but yes there should be a MASSIVE influx of youth in the defense.
I agree... which makes me happy to see how well Saban drafts (so far). Refreashing to actually have a coach that has a clue. Dave was a nice guy, but he is a coordinator, nothing more. It takes a special person to be a head coach... just because you were an assistant or a college level coach does mean you have what it takes.
I am not really up on my draft class yet, are there any good defensive guys in the lower rounds we should think about?

We just drafted, Canning Crowder, Matt Roth,Travis Daniels, Kevin Vickerson and Manny Wright and several FA(R) DB's. We have from last year Will Poole and Derrick Pope and from this years FA Donnie Spragan. I'd say thats a lot of youth. Saban will draft more youth this year. We need a mix of youth and experience. With Zach,JT, Kieth Traylor,JR.Seau,Kevin Carter and Sam Madison we will have a nice mix. I'd say the D is least of Miami's concerns. We need to bolster the Oline by adding a C and LT, I wouldn't mind spendinmg some of that cap space here. That leaves QB and IMO another big time WR. I also think a DT could be a first rd pick.

Your sig sums it up nicely. I'm not even worried about the qb position for this draft. I'd like to see another solid draft of picking solid players, make the playoffs next year and then pick up a new qb either through the draft or FA.

I seem to remember this one guy on the opposite end of Taylor...yeah, he was fast. Led the league in sacks with 18 one year...now we have Marty Booker and a missing draft pick from 2005...WHERE DID HE GO???
I think we'll go defense early in the draft. atleast 1 of the first 2 picks will be defense in my opinion. Yeah we got alot of youth right now, but saban still needs to make this defense his own and get him some of him own homemade talent(did a good job last year). Our defense needs just as much work as our offense does, we will be loosing junior most likely and i dunno if pope or spragan are the long tern answers there. I dont think i need to mention the holes in our secondary. Lets be frank... it needs work.

Surprisingly, seems like almost every LB in that draft has panned out so far.
Saban's gonna keep on bringing young talent...he won't waste his pick or trade 2nd round picks just to take a guy in the 3rd round like Wanny used to do.He started to rebuild the defence with all those young guys and he'll bring 2 or 3 more in april...I also think he'll draft a QB and I'm hoping we can get Wayne in free agency.
