Who would you take with the first pick of the draft?

[Ken]

with brees in control of the saints offense, pass rush takes priority over the secondary.

if brees has time, it won't matter who is covering who, he's going to make plays.

the key is to disrupt him before the plays have time to develop.

Well I think it works in tandem.. If you rush the passer but your secondary sucks you'll get burned & if you can't rush the passer you'll get burned...

But I do think great pass rushers could mask a small flaw in the secondary a bit.

[SuperMan]

A pass rush is a necessity. We can work with the corners we have. We cannot work with a lack of pass rush

I'm hoping for coples.

This deserves repeating!

I say Quinton Coples, and it has nothing to do with the play of CJ or Hardy. It's the most impactful position on defense. The Giants took JPP when they already had Tuck, and Osi.

I agree we need a Corner, but I don't see us taking a corner in the first round, even if we don't take a DE, I can see us taking a LB in the first before we take a CB.

It'll probably be bpa, but today affirmed that Charles Johnson is the only double team worthy player on our d-line. Nothing against Hardy or Keiser, but add a top notch DE with rotation and I think you'll see our defense get a whole lot better. The only three players I'd take at our draft position would be Claiborne if he falls, Couples if he falls, or Kirkpatrick.

Vontaze burfit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Matthias]

Did anyone watch North Carolina's bowl game? Both Coples and Brown got shut down.

[Newton's Law]

Dre Kirkpatrick may be overrated.

Kirkpatrick is overrated. He is Deion Sanders without the coverage skills.

[xclr82xtc]

trade our 8 for bengals 18 and 23 janoris jenkins will probably still be availible and we could use the 23 to pick up a wr.. 2nd round get a dt.

[mountainpantherfan]

If he declares Luke Kuechly may end up being the BPA. Couples seems like a great prospect but he seems like a bust risk to me. Not a scout though and he could be the real deal. Dre Kirkpatrick was my pick if we were just outside of the top ten but now being at 8 he's not as appealing. While I agree we need defense this drat is very offense heavy in the 1st round IMO. Defense may need to addressed via FA this offseason and go after Reiff or Floyd at 8.
