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

[stirs]

no way Jon Martin LT from Stanford last until the 18th pick.

that is why I said "or"

then take DT from Clemson. One of them will still be there, but not to be picky.

early reports say a lot of things, by draft day, Martin might be 6th or 26th, the idea is to put more players in your lineup to increase the value of your team.

the idea of drafting Kalil as the second pick to play RT will surely have us in the Super Bowl in one season. Yep, the missing link is a good RT. NOT

[DaCityKats]

but you said at 18 like he was going to be there. you would have been better off saying at the 10 spot. but i do agree trading back would be ideal since this team has so many holes to fill.

[stirs]

Right now, Kalil might possibly be a top 5, but after that, the others will have to shake out.

Guys (tackles)from FL State have been picked to go in first round all the way to third round. That is why I said Martin or someone. It is very fluid at this point. I don't even think Luck is assured of top pick at this point.

[mav1234]

I would be astonished if Luck wasn't the top pick at this point honestly. He'd have to look like he has totally fallen apart for the rest of the season.

If we're in position to snag Kalil I think we should. It'd be nice to trade down to get 2 firsts this year, but I think it's more likely we'd end up stockpiling them for next year... and while that isn't a bad plan, it really depends what things look like come draft day as to if we should or not.

[stirs]

snag a RT with the 2nd pick? Bad, so bad. But Hurney might do it. When have you ever seen a RT go in the top 5?

And yes, he will play RT since Gross will still occupy the left side. As many things as we need, I feel this is the worst plan.

Alshon or Blackmon. We can dig out OL in the later rounds. Either of these 2 WR would instantly spread the field and allow Cam to open it up even more.

DT's will be fine. I dont understand how anyone can argue to draft DT when we took 2 this year that haven't been great but then again are rookies. Bringing in more rookies will solve nothing. Add a DT vet for depth, get a few guys back from injury. We will be fine. Hopefully Hogan progresses to challenge Capt for a starting roll.

Draft the best player available and thats Alshon Jeffery or Justin Blackmon. Im taking Alshon all day. He is Calvin Johnson v.2

[rippadonn]

I would take Kalil, look to FA for a DT(much safer considering that history), good CB's are more abundant than top OL guys so 2nd Rd would be OK there

[kdrh5]

I'd like to hope that one of the other QBs in the draft, Jones or Barkley, stays in school. That way if we should have the 2nd overall pick we can draft the one that comes out, and sell him to the highest bidder between Miami, Washington, Denver, and possibly Cleveland. Would garner at least another first round pick and a second, to go along with possibly getting our third back.

And i wouldnt have a problem with trading down in the second round, too.

[Soul Rebel]

Can Kalil not play LT? Gross is our LT now, but he is aging, and would probably be more valuable on the right side, and entrench Kalil at LT. That being said, is there any reason Kalil could not play LT in the NFL? I honestly don't know enough about him other than being the top OL on the board.... and Ryan's brother.

:eek6:

:lol:

I'd love to see a solid DT worthy of that pick, but I just don't. Kalil would be a solid pick. Go defense in the next few rounds, though.

[4Corners]

I'm glad people are starting to come around and see how badly we need an OT. I said this a couple weeks ago and got flamed for it big time. Amazing what one game can do to a fickle fan base.

[Riverboat Ron]

Depending on where we draft and who falls to us, I'd love to get Justin Blackmon. Believe me, I understand that we need talent on defense, but I really think this guy is the real deal. He just has a strange "it" factor about him, reminds me a lot of Jerry Rice. The real thing that scares me is that if Steve Smith goes down, we'd be starting LaFell, Nanee, Gettis (maybe), and a combo of Edwards and Pilares? None of those guys besides Gettis really has #1 potential, and he's coming off ACL surgery. Blackmon would give us an electric offense with Smith/Blackmon/Olsen/Shockey. I also know we've spent tons of picks on WR's over than past couple of years, but if we're in a position where Kalil and Claiborne are gone, I wouldn't lose sleep on picking him. If I had a big board, I'd have Blackmon #2 behind Luck, and ahead of Kalil.

That being said, I could see us take Kalil if Hurney feels like Otah is never going to be healthy. Beyond that, I like Morris Caliborne and would love if we could trade down for extra picks.

[Peppers90 NC]

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

wow, now we are bad enough to have a top 3 pick? you guys are killin me
