your favorite offensive and defensive pick..

Excluding Kalil,Blackmon,Clairborne and no trading back

As of right now for me

Offense: Alshon Jeffrey

I just love the possibility of adding a big weapon for Newton. I feel like Jeffrey could be a deadly redzone option for Cam and will open up more single coverage for Smith for the duration of his career, much like having Moose did. A 4 wide receiver set of Smith,Jeffrey,Lafell, and Gettis would make me feel more confident against high powered offenses like New Orleans than any defensive player would here. Would also be nice insurance in the case of an injury to Smith or any other receiver.

Defense: Janoris Jenkins:

Corner was the biggest need going into the season on D last year and remains true this year

The draft does not have a lineman or linebacker that makes more sense here, further supporting the decision to go corner here. Jenkins is the most proven player to be NFL ready and would be a great compliment to Gamble. Speaking of which if Gamble got hurt I'd be terrified of captain or butler facing #1 receivers.

Assuming we're talking about our 1st round pick

Offense: Reily Reiff

Defense: Undecided, right now leaning toward Still or Coples. NOT Kirkpatrick. My feelings about Coples are following a similar trend as my feelings did about Cam last off season. Severe doubt leading to cautious optimism. We'll see if it progresses to unquestioned faith before the draft like last year, too (but I doubt it).

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
