I'm gonna root the guys on still, but I can already tell we're gonna have another top 10 pick. There is some good talent and we could find 2 guys with our first two picks that can take us to the next level.

Our defense really isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be, unless there is a "can't miss prospect" when we're picking, I really think we should bring in a stud receiver.

Keenan Allen, Justin Hunter. Both guys will be stars at the next level.

Second round we need to bring in another DB or pass rusher.

TJ McDonald, Xavier Rhodes, Tony Jefferson.

I'm thinking we will be picking in the top 5 this draft. Likely 2-4.

If that's the case, it would be too high for Allen or Hunter. I'd rather trade back down to 10-14 and then pick one of them and we could acquire another second or at least a third.

I'm thankful that there are two great QB prospects at the top of this draft class that should allow us to move down if we think it is fitting.

would love to have AJ Green in this year's draft.....yea I know its impossible, but someone of comparable talent

Check out Justin Hunter. Very similar size and style of play as Green.

Only knock is that he tore his ACL last year. He will be a stud though.

Were not so bad at DT right now...I'd like us to keep the Edwards' and sign another FA at that position. Our biggest needs seem right now to be

O-line....guards or tackles doesn't matter at this point but were really bad on the o-line this year

DBs.....safeties or corners we just need an infusion of talent in the back four desperately

WR...we need a new #1 to take over for smitty eventually

Gross is FAR from a turnstile but I wouldn't be opposed to drafting LT, moving Gross to RT and keeping Bell at RG.

I want a true FS, a future #1 WR and another pass rushing DT.

This is how I feel, especially if we get a raep trade like the Rams got last season. I'm a big believer in building up the trenches on either defense or offense, so I wouldn't hate taking a DE, DT or OT with our 1st rounder. Ultimately I think DT is where we go in the first since most of the DE prospects are tweeners that may fit best in a 3-4 as OLB's.

I've probably watched somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 Utah games in the past two years and I can honestly say I'm a big fan of Lotulelei. It's weird watching him because he has explosiveness similar to Suh as well as the pocket pushing ability of Ngata. Not saying he's nearly the pass rusher Suh is, but he could easily be the cure to our ills on the defensive line.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.

      [Mina Kimes Show] The offensive trends taking over the NFL

      By Basbear · Posted

      Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
