Anyone else feel PP would be "safest" pick?

[thunderraiden]

Yea it doesn't address a need, but when DT's bust their knee caps on every other defensive snap and almost every defensive end ever drafted looks like they aren't playing with a motor half the time to the average fan (when the average fan completely ignores the fact that a team gameplans to put everything on the opposite side of the field of said defensive lineman).

Doesn't it feel like Patrick Peterson is the safe pick? Not only does he look the part, but he has been the part. I dunno, I just have a feeling in 3 years we will look back and see only 2 names we recognize and it will be Peterson and Von Miller.

I want the closest thing to a sure thing that we can get with the #1 pick. I'm kinda on the edge of the wagon with PP right now, but I'm not jumping on anybody's wagon 100% until after the combine.

That said, a lot of the names mentioned have "potential" bust written all over them.

Again - give me somebody closer to a sure thing and not a "he could be great, but there are a lot of question marks."

Peterson makes more sense than drafting Fairley..

[cdandi1]

omgz...don't u mean cam, he def the mostest surest thingest out thererere

[The Saltman]

no. He is the best pick.

[Mvp2014]

I agree, too many questions with Fairley and I would never take a receiver at #1 unless it is Lebron James

in the past decade, how many CBs have been drafted in the top 5?

ain't nothing safe about picking a corner.

[bleys]

same can be said for any pick.. really, I would take Green.. we can scheme around CB, we can go FA for DTs, and when we find a QB, our offense will be set for years..

I like Peterson, but if our defensive scheme remains the same -Meeks is the db coach, Peterson will be sorely underused in a zone based defense. He is best playing man, as is Gamble

CB is ususally the safest position in general, but RARELY differnece makers. Unless you think PP is in the same class as Revis, Bailey or Sanders, you can get a starting CB on the first day without payng him like the prior mentioned guys. IMO, while he's good, PP couldn't hold those guy's jock straps.

That means he teaches technique, he doesnt call the plays

No theres not, I wish there was a Suh or McCoy but no such prospect is there. I think the hole in our secondary is much bigger than our wr woes. Pick a receiver/returner in the 4th or something

not saying he does, I guess I shouldn't have thrown that in. Where is boltergeist when you need him? did the Chargers run mostly man or zone in the secondary?

[monstercat]

PP could be a difference maker in the return game, but we will see.
