So who do you want with our 3rd overall pick?

How you figure corner? It's DT and LB/RT/WR. Definitely DT. We have 4 more than capable corners. You lost your damn mind.

You do NOT take a DT high in this draft for two reasons.

1. We don't need another rookie DT. We have two young guys that are getting better. And, any DT not name Suh usually takes a couple of years to come into their own. Does NOT help the team.

2. There is not a DT worthy of a top 5 pick that I have seen so far this season.

Alshon Jeffrey (2010, 14 games) - 88 catches, 1517 yards, 108..4 ypg, 17.2 ypc, 9 TDs

Alshon Jeffrey (2011, 10 games) - 38 catches, 504 yards, 50.4 ypg, 13.3 ypc, 5 TDs

Calvin Johnson had 48 catches 837 yards 7 TDs

then 54 catches 888 yards 6 TDs

In two of his seasons as well, you have to look at the QB and the piss poor offense they have been playing as a team.

Imagine Jefferey on OKST or OU etc...

He will be a first round pick and be productive in the NFL.

Draft Kalil or best defensive player available. Skill position players on offense will want to play with cam and can thus be gotten in free agency. I like Blackmon and Jeffery as much as anyone, but I think our offensive issues can be addressed elsewhere.

I agree but I am not completley sold on Quinten Couples with a top 10 pick. Zack Brown is faster than most wrs and rbs in the top 10 and seems to be a playmaker but if we can only win one game that may be a bit high for a OLB.The other defensive option is Claborne and Kirpatrick at cb.I think with this draft Kalil is the best option.

The last time we needed help at linebacker and along the offensive line we traded down and got Jon Beason and Ryan Kalil, and got Charles Johnson to top it all off. Let's do that again.

i know i've been against it recently, but trading down this year might be our best option this year if we can find someone in the 15-25 range that wants to play ball

there are simply too many holes to fill and not enough money to work with in FA.

also 2007's draft = a good example of how you build through the draft.

If we end up with #2/3 pick, we might be able to trade down and get the Stanford LT instead of Kalil while picking up an extra picks

If we trade down, we probably won't get either Kalil or Martin, because both will probably be gone within the first five picks.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
