If we are picking in the top 3 there is currently no player on defense that warrants that pick. Claiborne is currently projected top ten. This CB draft class has ton of talent.

Its very early in the draft process, but the top 10 is shaping up to be offense heavy.

By what "projections" are you using? Scouts Inc. has Claiborne ranked as a 96 overall, which is tied for third behind Luck and Kalil.

To put that in perspective, he's projected with the same overall as Trent Richardson. And only one point behind Patrick Peterson was last year.

I'm not saying he isn't a great player. History shows that cornerbacks get no respect on draft day. I think the highest a cornerback has ever been selected was 4th. Player rankings doesn't necessarily translates to the draft order.

To put that in perspective PP7 was rated higher than Claiborne and still only went 5th.

We're going to finish 3-13 and actually have the #2 overall pick more than likely. Matt Kalil, welcome aboard!
Idk, Stl, Az, Miami, Minn, Sea, Cle, and Jax all need to win a few more games if we want to pick second. We have the hardest schedule in the league and the tiebreaker goes to the team with the easier schedule. Indy is the biggest game left for us in the season now. Could be the difference between picking 2nd and picking 8th

We don't need a defensive end, Mathieu isn't draft eligible, I don't think, we don't really need to waste that pick on a receiver... We either need Matt Kalil or an OLB.

I see where you are coming from, but look what AJ Green has been doing this year. Dude is putting up huge numbers. Hopefully Blackmon could do that for us. I'm also happy with Kalil

      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 wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      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.
