Very late to the party this year.
But time to start looking into next season. Looks like i have 118 pages of reading to do to catch up. :ols:
Questions for Dukes or whoever else might know. Are there any good NT type coming out this year that we might be able to grab in 5-7 rounds.
Not sure a ton of the 5th to 7th round guys, but the 3rd to 4th round has a couple of guys I'd take at NTQuote:

If we can steal a WR late, so be it, but I like our WR core, I would put Aldrick Robinson in more, but thats juts my opinion.
I think we must shoe up the Oline and the secondary above all else. But, free agency should hopefully help us with that as well.
So based on Paulsen's post game interview, he stated that the majority of our offense relied on RG3's ability to run.
Now that being said,
Do we take a look at Denard as a WR\RB\ATH and emergency QB type? With him at lease our offense would be some what intact?
What round does he project as? Also, I would probably take a look at Josh Cribbs as well.
Now, don't get me wrong, I was not in favor of drafting him prior to yesterday, but based on what Paulsen said, would you consider it?
Nah, not at all, Cousins is a good backup and not only that, Griffin will be in a more traditional offense next year, more pa rollouts and bootlegs etc;Quote:

Safety-
TJ McDonlad
Bacarri Rambo
Eric Reed
CB-
Desmond Trufant
Xavier Rhodes
Jordan Poyer
ILB-
Shayne Skov
Kevin Reddick
Arthur Brown
Hey I am all for more weapons on offense provided the time we pick an offensive skill position player is the clear BPA. This year that actually might be the case so I am all for it if it makes sense.Quote:

Like with any team in the NFL we could use some OL help and we could use some more talent at receiver.
But, we have to keep things in perspective. Don't forget the offense was 4th in Scoring and 5th in Yards, clearly its not a weakness.
The outcomes from a football, like with most sports, has to be viewed in context.
We came up against one of the better defenses in the NFL. A defense that held up against the Packers, 49ers and Patriots.
Also, our starting QB got banged up during the game and our #1 WR got banged up while facing one of the top defenses in the NFL.
Safety top ten rankings Kenny Vaccaro Texas,Matt Elam Florida,Tony Jefferson Oklahoma,Eric Reid LSU,TJ McDonald USC,Robert Lester Alabama,Bacarri Rambo Georgia,Shawn Williams Georgia,Kenny Laner Vanderbilt,Duke Williams Nevada
Many have us taking a CB in Second Round with top 10 of DeMarcus Milliner Alabama,Johnthan Banks,Mississippi State,Xavier Rhodes Florida State,David Amerson,North Carolina State,Jordan Poyer Oregon State,Logan Ryan Rutgers,Bradley Robey Ohio State,Desmond Trufant Washington,Aaron Colvin Oklahoma,Kyle Fuller Virginia Tech.
I kinda do. We can't generate pass rush without the blitz and I think a keystone NT could do wonders for our LBers and also help out our secondary.Quote:

With Orakpo, Carriker, and possibly Meriweather/Jackson returning, I'm less concerned.about the defense. Safety is the only glaring need on defense. Every other position is pretty solid right now.

I was speaking for a NT earlier, but I have since flipped on that idea. It's really not a big need at this point. Orakpo and Carriker will return the pass rush to top form as it was before they were hurt.Quote:
