I thought this was one of the better ones I have seen.  It address 3 desparate needs with a WR with our 2nd pick of round 3.  Iam sure there are tons of arguments for different players but OT, Safety and Edge rusher are definite needs.

I’ve watched mike mcglinchy for years (wife’s family are die hard ND fans so that pretty much makes me one) I don’t like the pick. He gets dominated by good edge rushers in college, especially fast ones. Maybe he will improve, but I wasn’t blown away. Now, he did do well on read option plays if that helps, and he is a hell of a pulling tackle. Sorry for the rant.

Now EQ on the other hand would be a great pick. If he had a better qb, he would have went off this year.

Hercules Mata'afa will be a late riser in this class. He played all over Washingtons defensive front. At the NFL level I think he will be a 43 Edge or 3-4 Pass Rusher. I hope the Panthers take a hard look.

I agree with you on St. Brown.  I think he is horribly underrated because of poor QB play.  However, I think scouts know about him, and if he tests reasonably well at the combine he could go much higher than some think.

Right m, I think he will be gone by our second pick in the third.

Yep.  And based on what I've seen of him, I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't slip into the first round.  It's not often you find guys with that height that also have good speed, run solid routes, and can actually catch.

      I think you've nailed what we need right here.  Rodriguez and Thieneman would be my choices, Thieneman in the first and Rodriguez in the second. Let everyone else eat up their picks on the crop of WRs and linemen. Then make a push in free agency for the top center.

      Vernon Gholston vibes?  had 14 sacks at Ohio State in 2007; 45 games in the NFL:  0 sacks.

      I want a high impact player, but a true FS who could qb the secondary might be more effective than we realize.  I don't think Moehrig is that guy (I think he is overpaid, however).  I want a flashy, high impact player, but we could use defensive qbs at ILB  and FS.  By upgrading skill AND adding vision and leadership, could we get better than if we added an edge or OT? I am not sure that I believe this myself, but I try to look at things from all perspectives.  Here is some devil's advocacy stuff: 1. EDGE-We are freaking out about the pressure we put on the qb from the edge position.  However, Jones II and Wonnum missed a total of 22 games. Scourton was a rookie and Princely was a third rounder.  Wharton sucked (not sure if he was used properly--a hybrid who can rush from the 5 tech or 3, etc), and this put more pressure on Scourton and the other edge players.  This year, we get Jones II, Scourton should continue to evolve with Princely.  Perhaps another rookie is not what we need.  Maybe a veteran situational pass rusher.  2. OFFENSIVE TACKLE:  Of course, we need an OT, but the draft is loaded with OTs that can pass block but struggle in run blocking--so a rookie at LT might not be the answer for a team that wants to run first.  What to do?  I am not sure.  I see Nijman returning after testing the market, but who knows? 3.  INSIDE LB:  A huge need, regardless of how you spin it.  However, I see a few free agents who would be solid here, and I see the second round having a few ILBs with starting potential.  I do not see an ILB worth the first round pick unless a freak falls to us. 4.  With veteran defensive backs, a young, intelligent FS could fit in nicely. Intelligence is key--like the way Luke made the front 7 better. "A good, intelligent free safety (FS) acts as the "quarterback of the defense" transforming a unit from good to great by acting as the last line of defense, communicating pre-snap adjustments, and anticipating plays before they happen. By reading the quarterback's eyes and diagnosing offensive schemes, an intelligent FS acts as a "centerfielder" who can neutralize deep threats and mitigate errors made by cornerbacks or linebackers."
