So with that in mind, OL would be a decent pick there. That or LB.

I agree with you, actually.

I just think that we can get a good RT and RG prospect in rd 3 and 4.

MLB and Nickle corner have to be addressed.

I’d actually like to see us add a solid veteran at RG, and maybe see what Walker had left at RT. Obviously, I’d like to see us get away from the ZBS and add more beef to the line. But with Henderson, Gallery, and Satele looking like fixtures, I’d like to see a solid vet added to that group.

Like Cuz says though, I’d be ok with a decent MLB and Nickle acquistion via FA.

DL is fine. If Shaugnessy does well like he did in San Diego the last game, maybe we can play Seymour and Kelly inside, with Shaughnessy and Ellis outside.

Routt is a FA, our 4th CB is Holland, and C Johnson is 30. So they are going to look at CB via Draft/Free Agency

Top team priority is Oline simply because it allows you to score points and keeps your D off the field.
It also protects your QB.

A close second is Dline.

I had Dline as the top team priority until we got Seymour.

Draft priority for me would be RT,RG,DT in that order.

Warren is AWFUL and disappears against good Olines. He will be gone next year.

In 2011 I would look at MLB shifting Morrison outside.

Similar to the Oline and trying to evaluate skill guys, I think it is hard to evaluate LB’s behind guys like Warren and a very inconsistent Kelly.
Ellis is aging but we may have enough with Scott and Shaugnessy to be OK.

I think Charlie and Vegas are both right. But you really have to factor in need. You can say what you want about this team, but the ONE thing that has been consistently bad is tackling and run defense. Because our defense is so unreliable, we want offense to ensure we can score 24-28 pts a game. I say plug up the holes on defense, and we will be in WAY more games.

We need a MLB, DT, and Nickle corner in the worst way, IMO. I believe if we shore up those positions, our defense will be one that can easily hold teams to 20 pts or less each game.

Enjoyed the conversation.

One last thought.
The only difference I have seen in Pro football over the last fifty years is the speed of defensive ends which has helped create the zone blitz.

The game is STILL won/lost based on matchups at the line of scrimmage.
Ultimately it is a game of time and space.

Your Oline creates it and your Dline tries to destroy it.

Everyone else on the field is USELESS without time and space.

I have seen Namath, Dawson, Staubach and more recently Tom Brady look awful inept when their protection breaks down.
Think about that the next time you watch JR get nervous feet and make a bad throw.
